Farmers have a big advantage. 11 years old backing an old 20' hay trailer loaded five or six bales high with a Ford 8N uphill into our barn's upper level with no mirrors. Scraping barn doors was not allowed but did give a line of sight to each side of opening. Dad and older brothers watching added pressure to do it right.
I lost two wheels off the back axle of a semi-trailer in Oklahoma. The hub didn't touch the pavement, and I didn't know until miles later, when a Honda with a caved-in door pulled up alongside honking his horn.
Boat Dealers should offer a pre/after-sale class in backing/launching/loading, with the vehicle you plan to use....Mr. Jet Ski Trailer, may need some 'Fix-a-Flat' in the tires....
Agreed, Maus! If they gathered a few customers together and put on a clinic, complete with coffee and snacks, their customers would not only be better educated but the dealership would receive rave reviews.
If I ever bought a boat, I'd first take the empty trailer to a mall parking lot after hours and try backing into a parking space between two lines. If you can do that, launching a boat anywhere would be a piece of cake. The big mistake so many people make is, they move the steering wheel way too much.
@@robertmorris8997 Good point, Robert. I could ask the dealer to keep my boat but give me the trailer until I'm ready to use it. On the other hand, your idea of diving right into the deep end (no pun intended) by bringing the whole package to the mall is better. With the boat included, you sense the extra weight and you can't see as well. Thanks for that👍!
@@acreguy3156 Well, I'm not sure it's as hard as everyone makes it out to be. If you concentrate on how the trailer responds to what you are doing, you then discipline yourself to do what you have to do to get the trailer to do what you want it to do. I don't know any other way to describe it unless I explain while demonstrating, or instruct while observing. "See, look what the trailer did when you did that". The best way to learn, as with anything, is by doing. An observer is always helpful too, especially to let you know when it's close to jack knifing. That would be expensive damage, especially in a new rig.
All of the modern day trailer handicap features, trailer back up assist, camera assist, retard assist, steering assist, driving assist, blind spot assist, ego assist on these trucks and people still eff it up.

Reggie Fountain used to take every buyer out and show them how to properly operate the boat.
Good stuff

Like hell you would you'd be just like these clowns in a rush to use their new boat
@@Zzrdemon6633 I'm not that stupid.
What do you do with the boat while you are practicing with the empty trailer? What's wrong with practicing with the boat on the trailer?

The problem is that his boat is not winched all the way forward on the trailer...not enough tongue weight. You can even see the boat rocking slightly.

PURE GREED.
To have so many Homer Simpsons in one area is soooo cool.
What's with these women that they want everyone to see their asses ??
