In this video we share our tips for backing a trailer.These tiny Runaway Camper can be more difficult than a long trailer. Hopefully our tips can help with your frustration learning to back.
We are an empty nester couple traveling the US with our Tiny camper from Runaway Campers. No we are not full timers but we do spent months each year on the road.
Ed struggles with Parkinson’s disease. Some days are better than others. If you see him shaking don’t worry he is fine. With medication it is under control most of the time. Through the magic of camera stability you can hardly notice.

Thanks for this video. Backing up always gets me flustered!

@Hanginwithherky Месяц назад

You can do it!

@outdoorobservations Месяц назад

Slow & steady is the key.

Yes, slower than slow

Thank you so much Ed & Nancy for this video! I’ve had my Range Runner since March of 2021 & I still haven’t learned to back up yet & don’t really have anyone to teach me in person. I’ve learned more from your RU-vid videos than anything else. My next rally is in October & I believe I will be backing Daisy up by then! 🔙🌼🩵

I hope this is helpful if you have the opportunity go to a big parking lot and practice. I’m sure you will get the hang of it.

Great video I have added a rear view camera to the back of my trailer helps when your along and I like seeing the road when traveling.

@Hanginwithherky Месяц назад

That's a great idea!

Always have a “goal” in mind. Get out and look. Especially if you are by yourself. Get out and look and reassess your situation. Even if you have to get out multiple times. Walk to the to the back of the trailer and get a plan and know that it’s ok to change that plan if you get out of line. I was a professional truck driver for years and a slow and steady plan with a “goal” in mind helps tremendously. And remember, you’re not the only ones having trouble backing up. CDL drivers no matter how good they are still have trouble backing occasionally. And practice, practice,practice!

@Hanginwithherky Месяц назад

I also think people should not be so hard on themselves these little campers react vary fast. Like everyone says slower than slow.

@austinwhipple1136 Месяц назад

@@Hanginwithherky these tiny trailers are harder to back up than a semi trailer. A good portion of the time I don’t unhook and just push it around by hand but that’s not an option for everyone.

@cathyarmstrong7583 Месяц назад

Really good useful tips thank you “small adjustments” So helpful I turn mine like I’m driving an 18 wheeler-not good. Nancy your vocal directions are so calm and spot on! You too have a good week!

@Hanginwithherky Месяц назад

We try to remain calm. It drives us crazy when he hear folks yelling at the driver. It just makes things worse. Learning to back is frustrating and takes practice

@eutimiochavez415 Месяц назад

I think I’m taking mine to practice after church

@Hanginwithherky Месяц назад

Have fun !

@simplymejourney998 Месяц назад

Thank you for the video. I can barely back up my small suv let alone a trailer.

@Hanginwithherky Месяц назад

Pick your imaginary line on the ground and try to get the trailer wheels to follow that

@simplymejourney998 Месяц назад

@@Hanginwithherky ok, 👍🏽

@rockesark9689 Месяц назад

Great video and the only thing I'd add is to be careful that you don't jack knife the trailer into your bumper. Keep an eye on the mirrors but don't forget to look at the backup camera every once in a while too. There will be a day when a light bulb comes on and it's not as hard as you though.

@Hanginwithherky Месяц назад

Good points

@markfulwider Месяц назад

Such a great job you two! That was great! I drove a tractor trailer for a couple of years and you are correct! Practice, practice , and more practice! That is how ya get good at backing! One more tip for backing NEVER back into your “blind side” if you can help it! Blind side being the passenger side. It is referred to in the trucking industry as blind side backing! BTW…love the music ya got going there at the end! Who dat be?

@Hanginwithherky Месяц назад

Thanks for the tips!

THANK YOU! I really struggle backing in our RangeRunner. I have a little tow dolly and it's great getting parked in the garage - which is an odd angle anyway. I always look for pull through sites, but that's not always possible.
