Suzie, I learned a really ez trick for backing up. Think of your steering wheel like a clock. Put your hands at the bottom at 6:00. If u want the trailer to go to the left when you are backing up. lift your left elbow and you will turn a touch to the right. turn a touch, not alot. If u want your trailer to go to the right, lift your right elbow and turn the wheel a touch. Hope that helps. If I can do it, anyone can!

When u back up, tell the men to go away and let u do it, not to say one word, unless u r ready to hit a corner of something. I promise this will work
