Can You Back A Trailer?

[Kimtown]

Thats a Tight squeeze for sure, i have enough room either side, just got to get past the letterbox on one side and a car on the other. and also hope im not holding people up on the main road.

Oops I meant 50mm gap

5mm gap would be pretty much impossible lol

I,m only a fair backer but manage to get by.
My garage opening is also narrow so I back into the driveway,disconnect and manually push the boat in.
A large pneumatic tyre on the jockey makes this a piece of cake.

Always fun backing the trailer with the boat off, I can't see the winch post except on the camera which is not much help, and trailer is narrower than the car so when it appears in the side mirror it is already off line, I snake my way down the ramp but usually end up where I want to be.

very funny ..was thinking **** someone actually filmed myself down at lakes last year..then I saw the horses(phew), yeah I struggle bigtime but every now and then I fluke a decent reverse... (and no I wasn't talking abt a reverse kanga).....

I am ok at backing the boat trailer I can back an aeroplane looking over my shoulder backwards into a tail dock and thats two joints that move but I am crap with a 6x4 behind the landcruiser I can't see it

In saying that, all trailers are not the same
Something to do with length of drawbar???

Where your axel/s located factors in how much it will and won't turn.

all the same theme yes short draw bars make it harder as the trailer get away from you quickly - boat trailers though should be easy to reverse as there is a good distance between the ball and the axle group
fifth wheelers are easier again to back

maybe this system is what people need

in fact it would be a great idea for FWD cars to have traction getting back up the ramp

Tossers need that type of gear

Back in the old days, some people had towbars on the front of their cars
For positioning their caravans (no drive thru at parks).

Worked well
