Learning to back with a car trailer

If you dont like backing a 53 trailer. Just remember the smaller (shorter) the trailer. The HARDER it is to back.

 

I find it so much easier to back up a stinger being a car carrier in the past . Its harder for me to back up my 53 step

 

Dont worry bud , you not going to be backing up very often

 

I have a bass boat, I actually prefer backing my big truck (I pull tanker). For one thing, I can see much better because of the mirrors. Also, I drive and back that thing every day. My bass boat once a week or so.

 

Only if the axles are not at the 41ft kpra.
Then the trailer backs like a 48ft with 8ft of rear overhang.

 

Your car and boat trailer will react WAY faster that a semi-truck and trailer. If you can learn to back the boat trailer you can learn to back the 53 foot trailer.

 

Just put a ball on your garden tractor, then the wheelbases resemble a big rig.

I haven't driven a rig in a long time but I use the 'tricks' I learned every time I take the boat out.

 

Absolutely. I was in the same situation, just couldn't get backing up. Then went to U-Haul, rented the biggest truck and trailer they had and spent a whole day practicing at an empty Kmart parking lot.
Passed the test next day without problems
