I welcome any tips on backing up trailers, start a new thread if you want.

I'm still not very good with the mirror method. I do it the way my Dad taught me. Turn around and look out the back window. Grab the
bottom of the steering wheel. Move the wheel the same direction you want the trailer to go. Small movements of the wheel is all it takes. Longer the trailer the easier it is to maneuver. With shorter trailers it's harder to find the sweet spot when backing around corners.
I duck hunt. I spend every winter backing a 16ft boat into some crazy places all in the dark.
