Great video, great info delivery. Spot on. Thank you so much for making this for us newbs ❤

Good stuff. I'd really like to see one of these done in a campground than on a 40 acre field.

Thank for the tips

One of the best videos on backing.

Really helpful to have the videographer stand well back to keep a good vantage point on the position of your front wheels. My 2024 Silverado HD has a bunch of camera views but sometimes I wish there was a camera view of the front wheels. When you’re doing a lot of maneuvering and using small movements sometimes you can’t tell if your front wheels are slightly left or slightly right. We used to also have a large boat. It’s funny, I always tell my wife the easiest way to get other guys up out of their chairs is when someone else is either backing in a trailer or docking their boat. It’s like you have to get it right or your “man card” will be revoked! 😂

No, first mistake people make is not "backing on the left!" Drive around the building from the other direction so you can the back of the trailer from the driver's mirror!

Great video. We reviewed this again last night before practicing today. Your techniques and method are easy to understand and duplicate. Thank you.

Really thankful for these guys who know how to back up a trailer doing demos. It definitely helps.

I watched this yesterday before picking up our 43 foot fifth wheel today. With barely any towing experience and zero trailer backing experience, I was able to successfully back it up 4 times today. The tip of holding the steering wheel at the bottom and moving your hand where you want the trailer to go absolutely saved everything. Thank you so much for making this.

Ya I wish I would watched this before I was over here looking like a complete loser tryna back up bc I went to far up and I couldn’t straighten out & I was in a pull thru site I was ready to cry and it was pouring rain I just gave up now I can’t park my truck in my site over it fr

who cares if you offended people!!! 90% of people now days are pussy's.... Offended them they need some skin......

Nice job

did it work with a fifth wheel that has higher ground clearance than these z lips? I think at least that's what they're called, so your model is built deeper than some others. is there any possibility to drive on this place or basically not?

Perfect spot on demo of Anderson Levelers do’s and DONT’s.

I have literally backed a trailer up thousands of times. The longest has been 27 feet. Recently we purchased a fifth wheel so I wanted to do a little research about packing up a fifth wheel. It is a little different I can see where I’m going to have to practice that.

Very well done.

thank you, your video is so helpful backing and turns. Picking up my first rv/travel trailer and nervous to drive it. There are many backup videos but so far yours has been the best. I feel more confident now. I do however. still feel nervous on turns. stop sign, what do I do turn left or right. Did you make any videos for that?

Excellent video

Very helpful video! But can we just take a moment to appreciate how CUT this guy is?! 😄💪

Sorry, this was not detailed enough to be helpful to a beginner.

"Gription" ????

EVERYONE no matter how experienced should always practice with a new trailer. Find an empty lot or field, get permission and set up some cones. Even if just for 20 minutes to get a feel for the trailers quirks

If a battery is your lifeline while you're out camping, you suck at camping

Where can I get rubber mats?

Homeless man trying to learn how to back up a 5th wheel before I buy a truck and 5th wheel next year so far in the work truck with a 20 foot tow behind test run didn't go great I can go forward but yea

Thank you so much ! I am getting ready to do the same. My husband and I full timed in a 44 foot and he recently passed away , this is my home and I want to keep it so I will be practicing pulling it and backing up.

I have never seen so much shit in my life.

I appreciate your lesson but many campgrounds don’t have all the space you have there.

Best back-up trailer instructions by far. thanks

"Stay underneath the trailer" that phrase made it click for me. I would have trouble at that exact point and instead pull it.

I just got my Andersen's i am about to go outside hook up and try them out! Thanks for the how to video!

Great idea is to have a drone flying overhead getting the shots of you lining up/backing up. Thanks for the video. I used to drive school bus. I had one that was 45' long. I never had issues backing (it's not a trailer of course) but it did give me knowledge on how to back a bus perfect the first time. I know it would help to have a reference point which I did when i competed in a school bus rodeo (precision driving competition). I would look out my right or left mirror and see how far back the back line that you would back up to would reference in a mindful angle along your vehicle from that back line to a focal point on the side.. close to the front reference point. The back line I could line up all the way to the front left wheel well. When that back line in my sight lined up to that spot (about 9" up the front of the wheel well on front tire then I would stop knowing I was backed all the way. That could be done in this case also. You would have to know the length of the spot you're backing into ahead of time. If the stall is (typically for a car 16-24 ft) for a long 5th wheel is about 45-50 then you could measure from your truck wheel to the back bumper of the 5th wheel tand further (to the 50' mark) to see a reference point from your side mirror where that would angle down the side of your vehicle. A picture would tell this better with a drawing on what I'm saying... but hopefully you get my point. Cause many times you might not have someone there to tell you when to stop and help ... thanks for the video.

If your RV has a self leveling system (which I see it does) why on earth would you use these then? I'm confused.

I've always found the bigger trailers are easier. The real pain are the little ones that have the whole spirit of little man syndrome lol

Great video!

Do u only nee to do one side of the trailer or can u do both sides?

I only need one set, correct? One for either side.

Great video! Very simple and very well explained. I had never heard of the tool until today. Just getting back into camping and really like the concept. Thanks.

Video starts at 3:00

Great video!!! Thanks!!!

First of all, you are facing the wrong direction. In the trucking world what you are attempting to do in blind side parking. The correct way to back in is always from the left so you can see the area you are backing into. Just a tip from a trucker.

I've had my 5th wheel for almost a year now and 3,700 miles logged, but can be dicey at times. My problem is 35 years of bumper towing. Totally different reactions while backing up, due to the location of the pivot point. The only time I've had an issue was when pulling past the site and trying to take a sweep make the tight turn, catching a tree with the swinging rear end. That approach is from my bumper towing experience and a unit with less tail-swing. Your point on alignment is great. Taking it slow is also imperative. I've got a 43' triple axle similar to this and usually pulling it alone. Backing in on the passenger side is the toughest, but I've been able to do so without incident on a tight Michigan and Florida State Park campsite, by jumping out to check my position about 10 times, just to be sure all was clear. The only improvement to your video IMHO, would be seeing this in a tight campsite condition, instead of a wide-open area.

I am not following this at all. 🙁

Mmmm Dots pretzels!!

Thanks for the video man. I appreciate that you criticized the people at RV parks for not being able to park but also offered them advice. I’m going on my 4th year traveling full time mostly by myself with my 32ft fifth wheel. I move every 2-3 weeks for 9 months of the year and usually stay in one place for winter. I’ve had some drivers training in the military and considering myself a decent driver (not great). I was mostly watching this video because I’m considering an upgrade to a large toy hauler similar to yours. Plenty of my campground neighbors have large rigs but the length is still intimidating to me.

Being helpful is what most of need Should be a book or video trailers for dummies lolo bummer goose neck Or 5th wheel ect ect Like I said trailer backing for dummies Ha h

I didn't realize Brad Pitt's brother was into RV'ing. haha! Nice job, dude. Lots of good pointers. I've got the Kojack leveling system which came with my almost new popup. Very similar to BAL leveler, but it uses a drill instead of a ratchet to crank up and down. But the darn bag is over 20 pounds. This looks like a much lighter and workable solution. Thanks.
