Here's what you do ...... place either one or both hands at the very top of the steering wheel at the 12-o'clock position...... and the trailer will turn to the opposite direction from which the steering wheel is turned as you back up..... back down very slowly, and make a tiny, minute steering correction as you watch it go perfect in the outside rear mirrors ......... bingo ....... you are now capable to parallel park a 53' trailer into a 4-car length parking spot without touching the granite curb on a busy NH main street with other cars waiting and watching!
Place your hand at the bottom of the wheel and the trailer will go in the direction you move your hand in reverse....
