I used this video to learn how to back a motor home before we rented one. Really helped a lot. The first time I backed into a spot went nearly perfect which really helped build my confidence. Thank you for the video. I've been looking for a video as good as this one but for a fifth wheel.
It stated the passenger side would be more difficult, some campgrounds there is no other choice the way they direct traffic patterns. Would you apply the 8' rule on the passenger side as well???
Excellent video. However, most people don't own motor homes. Do you have any tips and videos on how to back up travel trailers? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Its easy. Like backing a semi up, go watch ScottieD67 and look up his backing videos. I've been driving Class A rv's since I was 16...after 23 years, ScottieD's videos actually made it easier for me to back up the behemoth rv and get it right with minimum pull ups to reset myself for the backing.
Great video!. It looks like the spotter was tapping his left shoulder and the driver turned the coach until they couldn't see his left shoulder. Am I missing something here?

Great video! Can you make one for fifth wheels? that would be very helpful.
How about a similar video for a pull trailer?
THIS VIDEO IS GENIUS. THANK YOU!!! It saved us on our RV trip

Very nice instructions picking up my motorhome Monday at Coastal RV in Charleston Monday Jan 15 2017.
Thank You THANK YOU !
Outstanding teaching aid. Thank you
Nice and easy thank you very much for your effort
Will the 3 and 1procedure work with a 5th wheel camper? Doyou set it up with the 8 feet from the back wheels?
What is there isn’t enough room to pull the coach forward before he can no longer see the spotters right shoulder?
What about the person RVing alone? You can't back into a site if you are alone?

It looked like his left shoulder because it was a "mirror image" Go stand in front of a mirror and tap your right shoulder and see what it looks like!
can this work with a 5th wheel as well?
Amazing:-Good video! ☺
If you have a tag axle, do you make the mark 8 ft in front of the center of it ?
You mark from the center of the main rear axle …. Not the tag
My coach is 101 inches (8’5”). Does this make a difference on the 8’ mark?
Excellent
MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how do you backup if you are by yourself?
I’m guessing this applies to a tag axle for the correct measurement on the back tire also ?
You measure 8' from the front-most axle, not the tag axle.
thank you!!!
Does the length of the coach change the 8 foot mark?
No. The 8' is the width of the coach
I wouldn't risk my spotter being only an arm's length distance.
Thanx for this helpful info
Does this hold true for a Class C also?
How about backing into a campsite with a tag axle
That’s very helpful
Do you have one for a TT?
Suet
Man you dont say good with right turns
Only good for motor home. Not useful for towed trailers
Massively overcomplicated. If you need to apply this system you provably shouldn't be on the road
Ah I know what the DA stands for
useless info for a 5th wheel
