BACKING UP A MOTORHOME
Whether a long time owner of recreational vehicles
or just starting out, backing up can be a challenge .
Following some simple guidelines may help to reduce
that challenge . When backing up, the driver (pilot)
should be comfortable using the mirrors, the back-up
camera and the co-pilot’s directions (ground guide) for
assistance .
Practice backing up with the co-pilot’s guidance in
a large unobstructed parking lot . Backing up is a
team effort . The backing process should begin while
the motorhome is in forward motion . Maneuver the
motorhome to align with the chosen site . Aligning the
motorhome with the site after the backing process
begins may require more than one attempt . When
the motorhome is properly aligned with the site, the
parking area will be visible in both mirrors . Use road
markings as reference points when possible .
When pull-through sites are not available, pick a solid,
level site on the left side for a better field of vision
using the roadside mirror . If the site is on the right, use
