Do like 18 wheelers do. Swing WIDE. Swing out over the line.

FIND AN EMPTY PARKING LOT AND PRACTICE MAKING TURNS AROUND SOME CONES TILL YOU GET THE FEEL OF IT IN TIGHT TURNS THE TRAILER LIKES TO CLIP THE INSIDE EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK CLEARED. LIKE THE OP SAID GO WIDE GO WIDE GOOD LUCK IT WILL COME TO YOU PRETTY QUICK. JUST DON'T LET ANYBODY RUSH YOU TAKE YOUR TIME AND THINK IT THROUGH.(Sorry about the caps i forgot to turn them off):banghead:

What type of mirrors do you have on your truck? If you have a second adjustable mirror, set it so you can see the side of the trailer in the turns. If you don't have a second mirror, try adding the small double sided tape ones. If you can get it set up so you can see your trailer in turns, it will help you a lot until you get more comfortable with the space required. If all else fails, just as everyone else has said, swing wide.
