When you're leaving the campsite, get the DW to watch the trailer. It is very easy to strike something with the tail swing. It's also easy to get into other troubles as well.
We stayed at a CoE campground that had a raised entry to the camp site. When we pulled out, I pulled the trailer slightly off line and the wheels dropped off the entry ramp over the retaining boards. The drop was about the distance from the axle to the ground. Looking back, I think this was when we bent our rear axle.
Another tip is to get a cheap pair of walkie talkies from Walmart so that you don't have to do the DW hand-waving thing. She can still guide you even when she's out of sight of the mirrors.
