Got any tips on how to manoeuvre with a trailer (hooking one up, 3-point turns, tight corners, etc.)? Share them with the rest of us.

When hooking up to a travel trailer, any ball trailer

Simply raise the hitch of the trailer just enough to hit the ball on the top portion so when you here the clunk you will be almost dead on the hitch with and inch or so more to reverse.

Making sure the trailer has its wheels blocked !
Works for me every time when I have to do it myself.
