The fastest way to ruin some past times, sports and pleasant activities is to make them into a competition.
I don't care about fast backing, baton twirling or mountain climbing either.

You would be surprised how well cars can pull full size travel trailers.

Flat paved surface, full visibility, no overhead hazards, cones no trees, no utilities to line up, no slide spacing to get correct, and no coach giving bad signals, give me a break that looks easy.

I see this a lot.. the wife is back there yelling, waving, maybe not in mirror view. I'd rather get in and out of the truck 4 or 5 times and look than have that going on.
Yep 20 years towing and still waiting to see her in one of the mirrors.
I feel your pain and less than a year for me.... LOL
I finally got mine to stand in mirror sight. Now if I could get her to do a little more than just stand there.

Kellem, that's a funny one about 20 waiting to see her in the mirrors.
On a side note, my bride hooked the unit up yesterday, did some backing, towed the trailer from the CG to the dump station and then home. Very good job on her part and she learned some things along the way. I think she's up for another run.

My bride of 59 years rode with me when I hauled. She knows to stay in the mirror in day time or nite time. At nite she holds the lite on herself so I can see her.
She worked for a mobile home dealer and I told one of their drivers the next time they brought in a 80' unit to have her back him in. Well she did and the driver said it was one of the easiest back in he's had.
Now if I could just ever get her to drive the truck/trailer combo.
