Old boatyard trick
Put a trailer hitch on the FRONT of your vehicle
Thank you for watching Mutual of Omaha’s wild kingdom. ✌🏻🇺🇸
Thank you. SO helpful!!!
Why i'm i watching this😂 i've been doing this since i was 14
hate spotters,, I let them order around and do my own backing up.
That dually is fucking nice
I also instruct my spotter to NEVER SHUTUP. If she stops talking I'm not learning anything. She chants "passenger side, passenger side, straight, straight, slow, slow, slow, slow, STOP ! " much better than standing in back of trailer waving arms, yelling go right….
When I am backing the fifth wheel into a spot, I instruct my spotter to only say "passenger side" or "driver side" as an indication which way to push trailer. I will NOT except "go right" or "go left" as I am unsure whose right or left is being called for. If you notice in the video the spotter is facing the rear of the camper and the driver is facing front. If the spotter says "go right" which way should the driver turn? Spotter right or driver right? Now assume spotter moves to rear of camper, turns around, faces driver and says "go right", now what do I do? If I am looking in mirrors. My right? Her right as she is facing me in mirror or is she compensating? Or my right looking ibackward? Just say the words "passenger side" or "driver side". Let me decide right or left. Sometimes I am looking over my shoulder, or hanging out a window watching a stump, I don't even know which is right or left, but I do know driver side & passenger side. Do your self a favor, this will greatly destress the parking maneuver
Thanks for the center point!
Not everyone has a partner. Would be nice if you could show us single people how to do this.
this is great but how about one on backing up a Class C. I have seen the Class A video's but for some reason the turning points or something just doesn't work. I think Class A have a totally different turning radius but maybe its just me and bad driving.
That's fine when you have all kinds of room. In Wisconsin, we have these things called "trees".
