Hello to All:


Stopping by to say Hello and to say.... Thank you for having me as member of your Forum. I am new to your Forum, not new to camping. (Pulled 5th Wheel and drove MH)

New to pulling a 33 ft Keystone Grand Touring. Purchase post MH. Since purchasing it my back up helpers (SIL and Mother) have passed away. So my pulling, backing up, and parking will be done by little me, me, and big me with furries. Ouch... for me. Color me fearful... to take it out to camp.

Pulling not an issue... parking and backing is.

Welcome to the forum, congrats with your new trailer, and my condolences. If you have an questions or concerns with your coach, ask away. It's a great forum with a good group of RVing folk. Safe travels.

Welcome to the forum from W TX and sorry for the losses.

Backing can seem daunting if you haven't done it much but it's a piece of cake if you spend a little time analyzing what each input does from the wheel, how it affects the trailer and, above all, you need really good towing mirrors.

Backing into tight places with objects/trees around on your blind side and obstacles at the back that you can't see will require either a back camera, spotter or just get out and look as you progress. Doesn't matter, whatever it takes it's doable and not a big deal. Just take your time....it will be OK. Remember, take your time. If you are trying to get into a space take the time. If someone seems impatient.....that's what they make valium or Jack Daniels for... Good luck and good towing.
