Friendly confession: backing is effortless until an audience appears. Trailer wheels track inside the tow vehicle’s path, so the solution is a planned arc rather than a last-second swing. The habit that finally stuck was simple: slow before the turn.

Backing up a trailer definitely gets harder when people are watching. Taking it slow and planning the turn makes a huge difference

I’ve definitely learned that one! 😅 Taking it slow and giving the trailer plenty of room makes backing so much easier.
