    Try lining it up straight with ur passanger side mirror.. The drivers side can make it look crooked , due to u being closer to that mirror than the other.. When i going back in straight i always watch the passanger side and get that straight look back to the drivrers side looks like im crooked as politician in dope house, walk outside and its straight as an arrow. Try it that way when u having difficulty

    Haha I do all that but my eyes don't see straight in the mirrors. I always catch myself jerking the steering wheel a little left or right for no real good reason as I'm backing.

    I drive straight as an arrow when I'm moving forward. I remember even my trainer praising me the first week for my excellent lane control. I don't really worry too much about hitting stuff because I aimed wrong when I'm looking out the front windows. I mean, seriously, I can put my right rear inside tire exactly on the outer edge of the white line through a construction zone at 60 mph if you need me to. I know where my mirrors are, I know where everything is, as long as I'm going forward.

    But for some reason I've got to wiggle that steering wheel while I'm looking in the mirrors and backing, and I don't even know I'm doing it most of the time. I've tried everything, just about. I pretty much give up at this point. At least I've never hit anything, but man it is ugly if I've got to back to get under the rack sometimes.

    We know your odometer showed you moved 2 miles but that’s because it took so many pull-ups and retries to back your trailer the 300 feet to where they needed it.
     
    MIT, D.Tibbitt, Lepton1 and 2 others Thank this.

    I am going out on a limb here. Yet I think those would attract alot of LEO attention that you dont want. Like getting pulled ovver along the freeway because every 4 wheeler that you are hauling bombs in or around homes/schools or where ever. It might be fun for 24 hours. Tho if you really wanted to have better fun? Use these helium filled balloons.

    They throw out those boulder on purpose to PREVENT big trucks from cutting the corners and ruining the landscaping.

    Duh. Doesn’t mean the corner was properly engineered for a semi and trailers turning radius.

    Anyone been to the new Loves in Holland Michigan and witness that driveway Engineering Marvel?
