Very wise!

I got a phone game that simulates parking with a trailer shortly before I purchased a trailer. While playing I came to the realization that the way to back up was to drive the hitch, not the car. By that I mean that I can move the car to whatever position or orientation I want without thinking, I've been driving cars for years. I simply have to pay attention to which direction I want the hitch to go and just make it happen with the car. Whatever mental trick works for you, I highly recommend practicing with a game first.

Most people ( and that includes me ) have had trouble going around a corner in a cab over. This is a vehicle where you are sitting over the front wheels. In my case, I had a '64 Ford van and also a '69 VW van. If you're not used to these cars, the first time driving and making a right turn, I bet you go over the curb on the corner. After a couple times you learn, you go pass the corner and then turn the wheels.

I feel bad for that truck driver stuck on the bollard. That's something you can't easily get unstuck from (no matter what your skill level). I remember butchering a trailer reverse. I was driving a bus with trailer and had driven into a driveway forwards. Usually you could just drive out forwards on the way out . On this night it was raining, dark and next to no visibility. I realized I couldn't go straight out as they had set up a road closure . As I was reversing out initially a taxi driver drove around my trailer and blocked me by parking there. I was like, "Man, I'm trying to reverse and you've now blocked me in". He wasn't budging (typical taxi) so I drove forwards and took a different (and more difficult) line. At this point some uber pulled in behind and blocked me. Those are just like taxis so again I readjusted and took an even worse and more difficult line. I was so crossed up now and they were not moving. I ended up driving along the footpath around a 90 degree bend with next to no visibility but found a no standing post. If it hadn't been there, I would have got out. Some crazy asian man started banging on the side of the bus (over 15 times). I had realized that I had come up against the sign and he kept banging on the side even though I drove forwards to try a different angle. Finally he stopped and I thought , "Thank goodness". As I went to reverse again he started banging again (even though I was missing the sign). I got out and asked him what is wrong. He went on about how I was hitting the sign. I said, "Where am I hitting the sign ?" as I was a good 1.5 metres (5 feet) away from it still. I asked him not to hit the bus as it is distracting and explained that I had to reverse out of here as the exit on the other side is closed. Finally he agreed not to hit the bus so I got back in, reversed it out (missing the sign). Sure, it took a while to get out because I could barely see but I made it. That stupid taxi was still there. I don't know if the asian man was the uber driver or just some crazy guy. Ps That guy with the caravan was in a big pickle. PPs I remember backing the bus with trailer out of a hotel drive in section once. It was so tight . Usually I had a smaller trailer on but this day the extra long / wide with extra axle was on. It was just too long to get through without hitting the giant pot plants (2 feet in diameter and about 2.5 feet high). I brought the trailer less than an inch from it whilst reversing out and the front of the bus mere inches from the side of the hotel but got it out. Another time I had to reverse the bus and trailer about 150 metres down the street as the bus was too long to turn at the end. That was fun. I even reversed the trailer up a steep narrow narrow bending lane (check out "ivory lane Brisbane, QLD" on google maps ( all the way to the top because the turn around was blocked)

Thanks, Sue! I'm glad your husband can laugh about it now!

Absolutely hilarious from start to finish.....Shirley, you are a true "gem"! We used to own a 26ft caravan - initially, hubby would do the reversing into the spots at caravan parks (you must realise that it's a "real man" thing to do this successfully, and in the shortest time possible). Well, the other occupants of the park would get out their deck chairs, bring out a drink and snack, and enjoy the "comedy" aspect of it all!! As he drove forward, then reverse, with different angles and "lining up" endeavours, i would then get the blame for giving "terrible instructions" ! One could almost hear the silent clapping of the cheer squad who believed they were viewing the latest episode of Lucille Ball snd Desi Arnez in real time. I assure you - this almost became grounds for divorce. EVENTUALLY, his "male ego" would release its tight grip on him, and he would relent and allow me to do it! I actually surprised myself in that I was able to do this very successfully most of the time. You see, I had read about a very important tip in the art of reversing trailers, vans and the like - you put both hands in the middle at the bottom of the steering wheel, and turn whichever way you wanted the back end of the caravan to go.Thus, there was no need any longer to do "mental gymnastics"! Btw, just to let you know, hubby and I did not divorce, but the comedy show for the park neighbours came to an unfortunate (for them) end. Keep these parodies coming, Shirley, and hope you're enjoying your rest.❤️

This reminds me of my mom when we went to get an oil change and the tires rotated. We both felt that the mechanics thought that we were dumb "blondes" . My mom was trying to follow the mechanic's directions to pull into the garage. My mom's 92 years old and legally deaf with a cochlear implant. We learned that the two mechanics were still "green". When we were paying for the services, I noticed that one fellow had a "tick" and I questioned it and found out that he had cancer which caused his "ticks". He talked fast and didn't look at us. When we asked about a discount, he asked his boss who was nearby. When we received the follow up survey, we filled it out stating how we felt about the service we received. The company even responded to it.

Love it! ❤️☀️🇨🇦🌷

Thank you! 😊

I went up one narrow dirt road and reached a locked fence. Cound not back up my trailer so I unhitched it and pulled i to the side next to a cliff. Did the Austin Powers thing and spend half-hour turning my SUV around, inch at a time. When I was pointed down the road, I pulled my trailer to hook it up again and went down the road looking for the right way to the lake.

I missed this one on the day, but I just enjoyed an extended belly laugh! Excellent lyrics, and a marvelous vocal performance. The footage is just a bonus, but WHAT a bonus! 😅 I dread backing up a trailer, but I certainly do better than most of the folks in the video. Plus, I know when to quit and start afresh. Oh my aching neck......

Thanks, Bob. Good to hear you won't be contributing footage for future trailer fail videos!!

Hysterical, particularly for those of us that can do it !

This song is about me! -I hitched a ride with a woman who forgot she was towing a trailer and backed it into the gas pumps at a convenince store. -I was coming home from a multi-day paddle and had a trailer loaded with kayaks. We pulled into the lot of a rock store for Shawna I got stuck! I tried and tried and could not get out of that tiny space. Ken, offered to try and I was so frustrated I gave up. It took Ken 2 minutes to back that trailer out of the lot. Ken is a Trailer-Backing GOD!!!!!
