    It's just like backing up any other trailer: the shorter tongue just makes everything happen faster...
    When you cut the bars: the trailer will turn to the side that has your bar end pointed forward...
    Of course: turn your head in the direction that you want the trailer to move...

    What I found , was that you need to make very small corrections to put it where you want, my wife still struggles but if I get off my bike and stand behind her and talk through our coms she does better. I can put mine where I want usually on the first try now. It did take a lot of practice.

    If you have a lawn tractor and a garden cart: it's pretty good practice!

    Lots of practice makes it much easier. I know a guy that no experience and had a terrible time. I just told him to unhook it and roll it by hand.
