If you have a hatchback car, reverse with the boot door open and you can hear the wife shouting STOP

Also if you are hitching by yourself do the same open the boot but also drop the rear center seat and you can see right through to the towbar and how far you are from the hitch.

Better still leave the wife indoors and buy a mover, saves all that hassle

instead of going to all that hassle of backing the car to the caravan just leave the car on the road and get the wife to pull the caravan to the car.

Simples!

Even better still, you stay indoors and get the wife to do the hitching up and towing.

Thats what I do. PMSL

"you can hear the wife shouting STOP"

The number of times, this past three weeks we have been away, I have seen the lady at the back of the car shouting stop and putting her hands on the back of the car to stop it whilst hubby keeps reversing!!! Helps if both agree the signals beforehand. Two hands palm forward to hubby means stop. No shouting.

or put your cell phone on loud speaker and get her to use her phone at the rear.

I think if my wife was in the boot, i'd hear her whether the lid was open, or not!

Best idea yet.....  Reverse car and caravan oneself.   Place husband behind caravan to shout instructions.  Put ipod buds in ears, turn up ipod volume real loud.  Wait for bump.  I recommend this for all wives of the posters on this thread.

You recommend crashing your own caravan?
