racking my brain with this 45

You said you were confused as to which way to turn the wheel.. what helped me a great deal with that is straight line backing.. my trainer would have straight line back..

See more trailer in my left mirror turn my wheel to the left, providing my hands are on the top half of the steering wheel...

Then he would make it tougher.. like give me a target.. such aas some line or something that was off to the side and I wojld have to steerthe trailer back towards it and back along it.. after doing that several times wheich way to tur n thesteering wheel was in my head..

From there he would make the targetand angles more difficult...

The one thing he did all the dang time.. was near the end of my day, when I was tired he would have me pull in a big empty or near empty lot and make me practice and practice my backing.. he would say backing is the bardest TN when your tiredand hungry.. but, your gonna have to do it all the time...

He was so right about that.. and I am glad I can still back up at the end of a long day...

 

Turn the steering wheel towards the problem,,if the trl is to far right turn right ect. Thats how I remembered when I started out

 

When backing... start with your wheels straight. Put your hand at the bottom of the wheel (6-o'clock position) then move your hand in the direction you want the trailer to go. It works. So you don't oversteer, only love the wheel as far as the 3 or 9-o'clock positions.
