Ripped my bumper..........

[bigike]

Ripped my bumper and bent my exhaust............. Backing up a damn trailer......... FUK!

I'll get some pics............... damn damn damn......... I get internet in the morning.

Right now I'm stealing bandwidth sitting in a chair half way down my drive way...

Little bitty ss mirrors and a guy that doesn't pull a trailer much, equal a huge screw up.:marchmellow: :marchmellow: :marchmellow: :marchmellow:

You weren't by any chance born under a ladder, while a black cat ran by were you?

 

[blackviper]

Sorry to hear that Jay.

 

[eddie102870]

[wesalbert]

go get ya a rear view camera set up. I ALMOST did the same thing. Luckily for me, I just put a dent in my tag.

 

[ChrisAZ]

Jay, if it weren't for bad luck you would have no luck at all. Sorry buddy.

Sad...I hate to hear things like this...I know it would rip my heart out to do it!


But just for future reference...lacking a rear camera, or a spotter...

To successfully and easily back a trailer...place on hand on the bottom of the steering wheel, look over your shoulder...and push the steering wheel in the direction that you want the back of the trailer to go...

Go slowly, make corrections slowly...

Boat owners will tell you it works!

trailers go opposite of the way you turn the wheel.

THATS IT!

I've been trying to remember what a old coworker told me when i was a travel trailer-motor home tech...... !

Thanks buddy! I might just go hook up the trailer and try it out in the pasture!

The exhaust is sooo f'ed up! but i'll get her fixed, thinking about buying a plastic welding kit....
