You\u2019re hitched up and ready to go, however, you realize that backing up is not as straight forward as, well, moving forward. To back a trailer into a parking spot or around a corner can be tricky at first, but with lots of practice, it can become an easy task.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Preparing To Back a Trailer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Practice:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As with anything new, practice makes perfect. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/2021\/04\/22\/types-of-trailer-hitches\/\">Hitch your trailer<\/a> to your vehicle and drive out to an empty parking lot. Give yourself plenty of room so you can get a feel for your trailer\u2019s responsiveness. Smaller trailers are more responsive and adjust quickly to the motions of the tow vehicle, which make them more difficult than larger trailers to maneuver in reverse. Bigger trailers respond slower to the turning of the tow vehicle, which makes it easier to accommodate mistakes when backing the trailer up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-293\" src=\"https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-181130829-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Hay bales stacked on a trailer, tied down, and are ready to be hauled away.

To give yourself better visual, adjust your mirrors so you can clearly see the rear of the trailer. If possible, have a spotter be eyes in your blind spots. These precautions will keep you from hitting obstacles that could be easily missed like low hanging tree branches, holes, or fences.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Take It Slow:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you go off path or jackknife the vehicle and trailer, just pull forward as far as you need to straighten up the angle of the trailer and try again. And if you need to get out of your vehicle to get a better visual of what is going on behind the trailer, do it! The important thing is that you park the trailer in the right spot without causing damage. Be aware that bumps and holes may also push your trailer in an unexpected direction. Reversing uphill will require a little extra gas on the pedal as well, due to gravity, but the methods of turning the steering wheel stay the same.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1285152433-1024x714.jpg\" alt=\"Columbia Icefield, Alberta, canada - June 2018: Truck pulling a camping trailer on a scenic road through the Columbia Icefield in Alberta, Canada.\" width=\"840\" height=\"586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1285152433-1024x714.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1285152433-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1285152433-768x536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1285152433-1200x837.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1285152433.jpg 1226w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Steer a Trailer in Reverse<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Looking Out the Window:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When you back a trailer into place and you are looking out the window toward the trailer, keep one hand on the steering wheel and just turn the wheel in the direction you want the back of the trailer to go.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Using Rearview Mirror:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When you are moving forward, you turn your wheel to the right (clockwise) and both the vehicle and the trailer turn right. Turning the wheel left (counterclockwise) will turn both the vehicle and trailer left. When you back a trailer using your mirrors, you must think backwards when turning the wheel of your vehicle. Spinning the steering wheel right, will cause the back of the trailer to move left and spinning the steering wheel left will cause the back of the trailer to move right. Another way to replicate the correct motion of the steering wheel when looking forward at your mirrors is to keep one hand on the bottom of the wheel, as the bottom of the steering wheel directs the movement of the trailer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-525248357-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Recreational vehicle fifth wheel travel trailer being towed down curving road in woods.\" width=\"840\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-525248357-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-525248357-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-525248357-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-525248357-1200x798.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.countryblacksmithtrailers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-525248357.jpg 1255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reversing A Trailer Around a Corner<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h4><strong>Step 1:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Pull straight past (overshoot) your spot or lane that you need to back into and line the rear of the trailer right past the entrance. Stop, roll your window down and put your 4-way flashers on. Turn your steering wheel to the left (counterclockwise) so that your vehicle\u2019s front tires are fully tilted to the left.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Step 2:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Begin reversing your vehicle and backing the trailer to get your turning angle. Once it looks like the trailer has the correct turn radius, start spinning your steering wheel slowly the opposite way to the right (clockwise) to accommodate the direction and ensure the angle of the trailer doesn\u2019t get too tight.
