Excited to pick up the trailer, but have no experience of towing or even backup!
I didn't expect this is that hard... Gosh:(
frustrated, just pulled up straight ahead...
What am I going to do .........


Actually our driveway is not that short/narrow, but the trailer will not follow the way we want it to be
We realize that the trailer's wheels won't turn ...

Take it to a vacant parking lot and practice. Watch your mirrors and get the "feel" for how it moves in relation to your TV. Make small corrections when backing up. Also, the shorter the trailer, the more difficult that it is to back up because of the amount it turns in relation to the amount the TV turns. Let us know if the practice helps.
