How do you even back that thing up?

I can only think of two answers for that. Either very carefully, or you don't.

Show me how to get it in a standard parking spot and I'll try to do better next time.

No backing up. I've seen it done, but I wouldn't attempt it. I would not pull tandem without a carefully planned route with all stops planned to allow plenty of room to park, etc.

picked up a new car hauler today. Took me about 12 tries to get it in the driveway but finally made it. Need a lot more practice. 13mpg on the way home using tow/haul mode

2 yards of mulch fits nicely in the short bed

Remember: hand at the bottom of the wheel, turn in the direction you want the trailer to go. ::

Or just trade in for a new one that backs itself...LMAO

Just kidding, I've embarrassed myself more than once on the boat ramp.

Took a couple buddies to pick up their new whips! Lol. Was hoping to fit both of them on the trailer but it was about 6" too short.
