Transition from bumper tow

I owned travel trailers ("bumper pull") for many years, and was surprised how different backing (and somewhat towing) a 5th wheel is. I have a long truck (crew cab, full length bed) and it takes FOREVER to get the truck from one side of trailer centerline to the other. Or maybe it's me and I need to study Denis's post some more!

My Co-Pilot (wife) and I communicate via cell phones (with mine on truck's hands-free) while parking at campground; watching small hand signals in a mirror 50 feet away just doesn't cut it. When home, I do it alone (she's a "nervous" helper, and I can do it myself.

Great thread!
