Thanks, Davy... I appreciate it!

Center of the spot as the default point as well for me. I adjust based on several factors.

The setup is key... all the sight point suggestions cannot replace repetitions.

I still preach to allow a few feet of backward movement to see how the trailer is going to track before adjusting... and make slight adjustments, again allowing a few feet to see where it is tracking. Take it slow, but steady.

Hats off to you Paul... best of luck. Always in your court my Friend. 🤙

It’s hard to find time to comment but again thanks for the clarification on reference points. Very helpful!

Amen!! Setup and knowing how to correct is everything.

Thanks, this is really good advice. She doesn’t know which way to turn the wheel alot of the time once she’s past the very first part of the maneuver but I think this will help. Again, one of those things I do but don’t know how to communicate or have forgotten than I actually do it.

Thanks G!! So glad you’re still on here. You’ve literally mentored me from the beginning and I’m happy to be paying it forward now. “Watch your wagon!”
