Thread: Reversing small box trailer

They can be tricky. He would have been better of opening one of the back doors. If the draw bar is on the short side then the trailer turns quicker.

Lol. He can't even reverse his car.

Admittedly, a small box trailer behind a big forby can be a challenge, as you so rightly point out Mario, you can't see the flipping thing until it's already turning, but seriously? This just reinforces my contention that people should not be able to tow willy nilly without some form of training.

That's why even dummies can back boat trailers. Well, most dummies.

IMHO, If you cannot reverse it, you should not be allowed to tow it.

And just when you get confident John, you get chucked into a set of Stags, learn all over again.

As for the first clip, I've seen worse.

Worked at a place that had a airport style tow motor that was connected to a articulated trailer. Trailer was for loads of up to twenty tonnes, so a reasonable size. That was some fun backing down factory aisles with expensive machinery close by. Got the hang of it after a week or so. Got real close to hitting stuff though. You either drove down the aisle and backed out or backed in and drove out as there was no room to turn around.
