advice needed

Just wanna make sure im understanding what your saying here.

Are you asking how to back doubles?

 

Gotcha! I wasnt trying to be a smartassss, just wasnt sure exactly what you ment.

I was kinda thinking thats what kind of outfit you might have been referring to. Your trailer is a pindel hook connected to the back of your truck. Its a little bit of a different animal than a fifthwheel setup.

Its gonna be hard to put into to words how to coach you on this. Your right, you trainer should be SHOWING you exactly how to do this. Why is he not showing you?

 

You might have to go to a toy store and see if they have the configuration and practice with that.

Basically, this needs to be a hands in learning curve. Your gonna need you judgement and a little guess work (that i personally cant put into words for you someone else might) that only you can feel and see.

Best way i can describe is like when i back a gravity or hay wagon into the barn.

While your backing up, turn the steering wheel RIGHT. This kicks the trailer tongue to the RIGHT also, which just like your tractor, the front of your trailer starts to track to the LEFT, but the rear of your trailer is going RIGHT. Once you see the slightest change of course going in reverse with your trailer, you need to follow back up quickly to maintain control of where the trailer is going. Dont try to make hard turns, and take it slow until you figure it out.

Everyones judgement is different. I wish there was a better way to explain it.

 

Hate to say it, but yes. I think you will get better results experiencing what NOT to do on your own instead of others telling you WHAT to do.

One thing i can suggest is just take your time and try not to cut to sharp or let the trailer get away from you.

Good luck! Let us know how ya do!
