Our ProPride, which does not use friction for sway control, backs easily.

I have backed my previous 25 and 27 footers into many a spot between semis in the truck stops and into tight back in camp sights and have never had a problem with the Reese dual cam weight distribution sway control hitch. Maybe checking with another dealer would be good as this advice sounds almost like they have no idea what they are doing. Either that, or I do not know....mmmm....
Or, possibly someone was confusing backing while flat towing a vehicle behind a motorhome. This is impossible without severely damaging the towing setup and towed.... In almost all situations. Apparently there are some super talented folks who can back straight, but I have never seen them.

If you are going to Foley, be sure to ask for Gary to install your hitch. He knows his stuff.

Just got back home with my new Blue Ox Sway Pro. I can confirm there appeared to be no issues with backing.

10,000 Equalizer brand hitch head / 1,000 # bars; Currently 25' @ 5750 # base weight; 3/4 T diesel truck; ~15 yrs on this hitch . Never an issue backing on relatively flat surfaces, but use caution to avoid potential A-frame stress (or disconnect load bars) when backing and/or turning up a steep incline - especially when you are in the "dip".
