Backing Up a 5th Wheel Trailer (From TapaTalk Forum)

Budmister,

I found the web page containing the script, still photos, and web video on this topic that i mentioned. In some areas the text script is more comprehensive; at other times the video is.

The guy uses a toy semi to demonstrate. He only briefly states to watch the wheels of the 5er, and I found this to be most helpful guidance, and a bit under emphasized. Yes our 5ers hang way past the wheels and you need to watch the rear end so it does not hit anything, but the wheels take you where you want to be.

Speaks a bit about hand signals. I prefer two cell phone on speaker.

To get to the video scroll way down the text and still photos to the Conclusion Section.

Have fun.
