A tip when reversing a trailer -hold the steering wheel at the bottom. To turn the trailer to the left, you move your hand left and vice versa, just like you would without the trailer and your hand at the top (normal position)BushWacker wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 3:53 pmI had a lot of difficulty reversing my

Yes indeed Thys, that is the best trailer reversing advice I have ever received many moons ago when a friend of mine (Icemanza’s younger brother in fact) explained this to me when we reversed boat trailers into the Krom River in the Eastern Cape.
It works very well!
