Backing a trailer

Chapter 10: Towing a Trailer › Towing a trailer · printed page 121 (PDF page 123)

Backing a trailer Backing a trailer takes practice. At times, to manoeuvre the trailer when reversing you will turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction than you would when reversing without the trailer. When using a vehicle to back a trailer, do the following: • Have someone guide you. • If you do not have a guide, walk to the back of the trailer to be sure the path behind is clear. • Always reverse no faster than a walking pace.
