Not got the bottle
I'll have a crack at reversing the van so I can brag how well I did but I've not got the bottle to try this one.
up and 5.30am, full days work, drive 180 miles, arrive at about 10 or 11pm in the dark and reverse 90 degrees where I cant the car and van straight and go through a 9ft 10ft gap. done the drive and reverse with a 6x4 trailer, piece of cake but I aint doing it with the van. 9ft 10, really that wide...... na, sill not doing it. macafee2 |

The smaller the tug in relation to the trailer, the easier it is to control the reverse - the slower the trailer reacts. The very worst things to reverse are the tiny garden trailers.
