Cute! They were a bit more forthcoming than they were about how the pass diesel emissions.

You mean this isn't the way you all back a trailer? Lol
I can barely back mine up when I am pushing it by hand
into my drive way at home! Funny video.

I looked at this on my inbox and said: Yeah, just what I needed. Of course not for my situation......! Ha! Thanks for posting it nonetheless. Funny and thoroughly amusing. The lighter side of backing up a trailer. Made my day.
Agree with Kathy: If only it were that easy. Now on to watching Paul O's video.

Backing up a trailer
Thank you Paul O. I will try to digest the info and then once we can get our trailer down the driveway and on to a parking lot to practice, Ed and I will try to follow the diagram and practice, practice, practice - good advice.

Hi All,
This will be our first season with our new to us Casita (our first RV). I did practice in the driveway backing it up one afternoon, but the cover is on it. Looking forward to taking the cover off next month, driving it around the subdivision, going to a church parking lot, and practicing, practicing, practicing!!! Need to practice backing up, do some driveway camping, do a couple of shakedown weekends to some local parks, and get ready for our first rally in the Smokys in mid April. Wow, I have a bunch to do!!!
LOL!
Dean

You oughta' see me backing my Kodiak-chassis moho with my car on the tow dolly at those speeds! Piece 'o cake... it's even easier after a coupla' beers. 'Course it ain't a Volkswagen... <grin>
