New to the club

I will be picking up my new 17b from Chilliwack in a week and a half. Looking forward to camping again. Will be a learning curve, especially backing in. Will be towing it with my new Ford Ranger

After a few tries, you will become very proficient at backing your trailer. Congrats on your upcoming delivery and welcome to the forum!

Take a look at the video on the "scoop" method. It really helped me.
