I purchased my TT today and was so proud that I towed home alone (husband working and not into towing!!) I then found a great farm to park and store my TT (husband meet me there)  I was so determined to reverse and finish the job.  He said he would do it for me but NO I wanted to do it myself!  Jack knifed just once but got it in the space - wonderful you might think, filled up with petrol on the way home and noticed the damage to bumper, one large dent and one hole - but I did it ALONE!

Well done - has OH seen the dent yet?

We usually put our trailer tent in near enough good position and then unhitch and push - it's so light it's hardly any bother and more hassle trying to reverse I think.

Sometimes you get it right, and sometimes you get it wrong. Quite often I can reverse the FC reasonably well, but it often goes all over the place, and I have been doing it for almost 20 years. It's plain to see that you are doing something right. I hope the damage is repairable. All the best in future, it just take a little practice and a grounding in the principles.

Yes husband saw the damage!  Says the TT which was such a bargain is working out costly!!

you are correct - it's really not worth the bother and much easier to just push in place.  I was just trying to show off!!

Many thanks
