hitching with a backup camera...

let me say, WOW, thats SO much easier. for decades I've towed with vehicles that had no backup camera, and hitching was always a trial and error thing. 2nd time I've hitched my Escape 21 to my new-to-me 2019 Expedition, and that backup camera makes it SO easy, first try today I got the ball directly under the hitch in the sweet spot to postively latch the $#@$#@ Escape's hitch.



and, WOW this Expedition is SO much easier to maneuver than my longbed F250 was.... The Eff TwoFiddy had a 62.5 foot turning circle, curb to curb, so backing the trailer up into a tight campsite, or making U turns was really challenging. This Expy has a 42 foot circle, swooop, and you're there. I do have to be careful not to turn TOO sharply or my cargo bin can scrape a $#@$ expensive LED tail light if the road surface is uneven.
