This is a funny one - I just go it alone. First of all, I'm sometimes out with just some combination of the kids and not my wife. Second, well.... some things I think are just better done alone. I've seen far too many husband/wife teams turn REALLY ugly when parking at the campground. I'm pretty we'd end up there quickly.

Ultimately, just go with whatever works for you. The #1 thing is to just take your time. Most bad things happen when people are in a rush. I'll often get out 3 or 4 times (especially when backing to my blind side) to be sure I'm on the right line and am not going to hit something.

Honestly, backing in at the campground is the easy part of my RVing. Sliding the trailer beside the house is the challenge with my setup.

Most of all have fun.... that's the whole point of all this.
