Forward is easy, backward, not so much
These SpotterCone units look like they will help with backing quite a bit.
Could possibly save your marriage

Ay yi yi... I think for $789 ( or $689 for being a tester) I could figure something different.
It was tempting

What a crock! Tuition at a driving school, teaching an RV owner how to turn the steering which way to adjust the RV's direction and "following" would be monies better spent - and probably less expensive, without the techno idiocy. To add to that, if one can't get into a space, perhaps: 1 - one should have a chauffeur; or 2 - one shouldn't have an RV requiring a chauffeur.

Looks like a BIG waste of money, and I would feel like a fool pulling those out at a campground.

That's cool technology and for $10 I might jump. But, it doesn't assist with the turn into a pad, only lining up the last few feet and knowing when to stop. The bride handles the latter as well as the former just fine, and she's much prettier.

I like the light idea.. But surely some reflective cones would be cheaper for "landing" at night Plus if you have to back turning away from the drivers side (which is never desirable) none of this helps...
A mobile DH or DW with a flashlight does.

I park by ear; when the trailer hits the tree I know I'm there! But seriously, this looks like a big waste of money. If you have no human spotter you have to get off your butt and check it out yourself.

I know that as GOAL... Get Out And Look. It's cheap, easy, and no confusing hand signals or ambiguous maneuvering suggestions.
