Stacking up road train trailers onto each other is fun, too! Especially when you can't see over the loading ramp until the prime mover is on it
I have two reversing cameras on the Defender - one down low for the towbar and the other above the rear door to see over the camper - and find them very useful.
With hands on the bottom of the wheel they make backing much easier.
I just use my mirrors[thumbsupbig]Quote:

This is fine if the towing vehicle has power steering. I could never do this with the Stage 1.Quote:

Could back a 40ft semi anywhere it would fit, in one bite. Now the big rear overhang of the 130 combined with the short drawbar length of my camper trailer often makes me look like a rank beginner.
An amount of water makes a number of glasses of water.
Can't count liquids like water, but can count glasses filled with water.
So how does a Water meter work then [emoji1787]Quote:
