Glad he was the only person on the ramp at the time, he was all over the place.

Its kind of funny. Now, I admit, I am not perfect at backing up my travel trailer....but...I mean...you steer in the opposite direction that you want the trailer to go. Its the fine tuning, the clearance of obstacles and not over steering that are the keys. I do not see how this helps in that regard. This seems to just take away the need to remember to steer opposite. But toys are fun.

If you can't push it backwards, you should not pull it forwards!!!!


So while you're looking at the screen and the turning the little **** thing who's watching where your front end is swinging to???


I really wish they would stop putting all these "help" features (park assist, lane departure, blind spot warning light, now the bask up thing) and actually teach people how to drive.

Er, well, that's a problem for some of us even with a regular backup camera and mirror.

As I've discovered.
