    one other thing I found that helps alot, is visualize how you would drive OUT from the spot you need to back into- it helps you visualize going in- it's pretty much the same movie but in reverse

    The best part of hauling mobile homes is knowing that I will be challenged with something new everyday. 25 years of routine will have you hoping for a challenge eventually.
    I still get nervous when im pulling a 16x80 into a little park in San Diego, I thrive on that rush. I find myself disappointed when its too easy.

    don't forget to put the handle back in the lock when you are opening the doors in the winter. you need something to hold on to when you slip on the ice.

    I have seen many of them rollin' westbound on 80 in IL. From what I have seen, seeing they carry about 20 spare tires... you will be changing some of those tiny tires! heheheeheee

    You know I was thinking that I would be scared backing into these places but I've never backed up a trailer before or driving a big truck however YouTube has videos on it which helps a person like me with no experience to see what it looks like before getting in and trying to do it myself. Just my two cents.
