Wow. This is painful to watch.

Some guys NEVER learn how to really back a trailer, and some of us just naturally get it. If you think one like this can be bad, try a Kentucky 53' triple-drop belly dragger, with a generator box on the bulkhead, using a condocab.
Drove our race hauler for hundreds of thousand miles, and lots of tight spaces and small roads. Rule #1; back up to an intersection and flip it around, slow and steady.

But, in all honesty, we both know our trucks are easier to back compared to a bumper pull.

I would've just recruited all of the people walking by and paid them to just get around it and lift and swivel it or something lol. How much is your pride worth
(not sure how much those things weigh, never had one or been around one)

I worked at a very large RV Dealership for a while. I dealt with everything from "pop-ups" to full size Diesel-pushers. I was responsible for prepping the vehicles / trailers for sale, fixing manufacturer errors (there were a LOT!), installing customer add-ons, then performing a "Show-Through" with the customer. Part of that was taking them on a test drive/tow with their new unit. There were times it made me extremely paranoid to know that these people were going to be sharing the road with me!

I owned a 24' camper just like that for several years...the longer the trailer the easier it is to back it up. I've offered to back camper trailers in for several folks at campgrounds while camping over the years . After I see them try three times and the wife is trying to direct them, I would casually walk by and say, would you like me to back it in ? most say if you can I'd love you too.
