If I had been the guy in the truck.. Seeing as I was making progress all of a sudden. I'd have ask the kind gent who helped to please ignore her loudness the mouth, I'm driving the truck, and perhaps gotten the job done.
Else I'd have let her back it in.
But then.. I've been backing trailers longer than I've been driving cars.

I'd make this:
Ladies, you can drive and back the RV, too. Both I and my DH take turns driving and parking the MH.
And we would never, ever speak to each other in that fashion, either.

I've seen this scenario once. They were both at each other about it, and I walked over to help. After getting the "We know what we're doing!" bit I complimented his driving thus far. "Think you can do better?" So I offered to try on one condition. Silence. One shot, corrected six inches forward so that the slide would clear the power box, and I parked it. They were dumbfounded.
"Hey, could you coach us through the rest of setting up? We're new."
I told them I could tell and had them up and running in thirty minutes.
I don't get lost, I investigate alternative destinations.

Mini van and truck and 26ft 5er. Grampa(50ish) driving truck and could not have ever backed a trailer up before because he did not know which way to turn the wheels. One hour of trying to back into a huge double site voices are getting really loud, door is slamming everyone in the party is telling him how it is to be done, and none of them I don't believe had even seen a trailer before. My DW kept telling me to go over and help, but there was a real haustile feeling coming from this lady and I didn't want any of it. An older gent walked by and asked driver if he could give him a hand and the drive say yes, with a few other words around it. First off he told him to take a breath, now you have to turn your wheels the other way then you have to turn sharper, you wont break anything and low and behold the trailer started creepig around into the site then the wife started yelling I don't want this f**en trailer here your wheels are the wrong way, move here move there. Kind gent said nothing more and walked away. 1hr 45 mins later 1 picnic table hit the poor driver finally good said enough and left it where it sat. And yes it stayed hitched to the truck their entire stay. I just thought I would share this poor mans pain with you all.
Thank god I married the woman I did.

Got to go hug the wife.

PS to be on topic a bit my wife directs and I drive I don't even look at the site until she asks me to hop out of the truck and "see what you think" about where she's directed it too.

I worked with a gentleman once that always was in a foul mood. Nothing you could do was good enough nor could he even express even the most simple of social graces.
On day, the phone rang and he answered it with his typical salutation: "WHAT DO YOU WANT!" That was then followed by the most calm and sweet: "Yes, dear. Yes, dear"

I took a turn too sharp the other day and received a good scratch in the sidewall from a stop sign. When I told her about it she was in total disbelief. She said, "You're the most careful driver I know"
Every day I spend with her I love her more. A good mate can make all the difference.
You really do love her!

Well being a woman I feel the need to stick up for us gals everywhere and remind y'all that being nasty knows no gender preferences. Our last camping trip an older couple (70's) backed into the site next to us and after a while it was obvious that the man was having trouble unhitching his TT. My hubby went over to offer assistance and the entire time he was helping, the man berated his wife about every move she made. She at first was trying to help too but after about 10 minutes of being yelled at by the man she gave up. When she walked away the man turned to my husband and said "Never ask a woman to do anything, they'll just screw it up."
The woman avoided my husband's gaze and seemed extremely embarassed. We both felt really bad for her. So you see, sometimes is the man who needs a whack with a "clueX4"....
