Funny A$$ video on how NOT to back a camper,, LOL

He never made contact with the truck or other objects. I'll give him credit for that. :B

That's my youngest daughter with a car... not even a trailer.

I participated in a consumer clinic on trailer backup aids... i screwed their study up, trailer perfectly backed up without the aid, and totally screwed it up with the aid ;)

That's painful to watch but we all make mistakes in where we go...

I was traveling through Oregon once and went through Bend. My kids were tired and restless so I decided to find a park. Having only a very vague knowledge of Bend I looked up parks on the navigation and went to the nearest one.

The kids were cranky so I wasn't really paying attention... but after pulling off the main road it was "no turning back" until we got to the end. The park road winded back through trees to a oval loop next to a river. The loop was filled with cars. There was no place to do a trailer "12 point" turn around. No place to back out, etc. It was a tense 10 or so minutes to pull around that loop and make sure we didnt hit any cars with multiple pull forward/back up attempts. I had a short travel trailer like that guy in the video at the time. If I had a 25+ footer I think I would have literally been stuck until I could have gotten people to move their cars.

I think the guy knows how to backup a trailer... Just didn't have the sense to just back straight back like he finally ended up doing with the nice fellow that guided him out eventually...

That is sooooo painfull to watch!!!!!
Almost the same as the beach video, the Pro truck driver only needed to back up about 100' to make the left turn he eventually made, after trading up the semi.

Oh, man! I just feel so sorry for that guy in the TT!

The crowd of people swarming everywhere didn't help, no doubt.
