Message: <blockquote data-quote="2400" data-source="post: 177660" data-attributes="member: 3254">I've been laughing my ass off at some of the stuff in the "Patience is a virtue" thread.I grew up pulling 2 horse, 4 horse, 6 horse, flat bed and water trailers on the ranch so I had a couple of years of practice before I got my license. Since then I've had car trailers, water trailers, horse trailers, boat trailers, etc, etc and 100's of thousands of miles with a trailer behind me. When my ex and I were dating I was trailering my Willys all over so we could go wheeling and camping. She ALWAYS rode not drove and wanted nothing to do with backing up. She had no problem chaining down the Jeep or hooking up the trailer but that was it.Once I figured out she was a keeper I hooked up the empty trailer and went over to our local park. I got out and said, "you're driving, it's time you learned". I pointed out that if something happened and she had to drive home, load up by her self or whatever now was a great time to learn NOT when the pressure was on.I had her back around parking blocks, between parking blocks, around corners, even kinda parallel park it a couple of times. Then we went for a run down the freeway so she could change lanes and get on and off a couple of times. Then to the edge of a shopping center so she could practice backing up some more. Then I had her back the trailer in at the house. After that she could back up, the bumper pull, gooseneck, camper or anything else that you could tow with a pickup. I guess the point is a little practice on a nice day with NO pressure goes a long way when it needs to get done.</blockquote>
