I hear ya about backing it in. My wife was terrified the first time she drove the tow vehicle. But, now after a year doing it, she is so good at towing it and backing our 5th wheel into a campsite. Our system is simple: Walkie talkies! I normally direct her backing into the spot, and we have a system down pretty well now. I'm sure you guys will get very good at it fairly quickly. One suggestion, in the beginning, is to work off of checklists--one for inside and one for outside. These checklists have kept us from major mistakes and kept us safe. Have fun and good luck!

Our maiden voyage will be to a nearby state park for a long weekend on December 8th. In January we are heading to Florida for a practice trip. We have reserved pull through sites for the whole trip as backing in is our biggest challenge so far ��. Happy camping to you!
