    Funny video - backing a trailer

    This is one of the funniest things that I've seen in a while. Be sure to see the last minute or so.

      The trailer is built out of the front half of a car, so he's actually turning the trailer wheels. If you watch closely during some of the tight-turn sequences you'll see the wheels turn like a car's.

        If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

          I wonder how the trailer is tagged? Trailer or Vehicle?

              I borrowed my Dad's utility trailer to haul some yard waste to the dump. I have very little experience with it and even less backing up. It's a short trailer so it goes all over the place when backing up. I actually unhitch it and pull/push it into place rather than back it up.

              At the dump, I had no choice. 10 cars lined up side by side with some hauling trailers all backed up dumping their load. The guy at the dump directed me to an empty spot. I start backing up and nestle myself between two trailers. The guy I park next to tells me that was pretty impressive since it's so hard to backward steer a short trailer like mine.

              What he didn't know was that I was actually trying to park on the other side of his trailer.
