    @jormajanetzko5033 4 года назад +3

    Thanks. This was nice and easy explained. I had no difficulties with reversing a trailer, but now the caravan causes more problems, as it reacts way slower and it has been difficult to predict the moves.

    • @92813justin
      @92813justin  4 года назад

      That will just take a little time to get used to how the trailer reacts to your inputs. You now have the basics and will be set. Just give it a little bit of time to be comfortable

  • @redbrickize
    @redbrickize 2 года назад +1

    Hi mate. I was using your technique for my first caravan trip to country side. Have to say that it’s super useful, I can manage to back into the spot, though it takes a bit time(lucky it is not a busy period and has big space). Just wondering where do you suggest starting turning, e.g. you rear wheels align with the corner or the trailer end align with the corner? Every time I reverse, I always leave a big room to the kerb. Thanks in advance.

  • @MrTwostring
    @MrTwostring Год назад

    I like the hand on the bottom of the wheel technique. Move your hand in the direction you want the trailer to go. I find I have to mentally switch between that mode (which I call driving the trailer) and another mode where I'm driving the car - trying to follow the trailer. This is where you said that you have to straighten out the wheel.
    When I'm backing up, I often have to pull forward to straighten everything out. I notice you didn't cover that -- perhaps because you're so smooth at the whole thing at this point.
    Thanks for the video.
