My son is supposed to be coming later today, in order to help me to practice reversing onto the drive, which I'm still finding to be a problem! My son is a HGV1 driver and can reverse the most enormous lorry - however, I don't think a trailer is quite the same thing myself.
The plan is to go over to the local car park, which is usually empty on Sundays, with a few cones and practice there, before returning and reversing onto the drive.
I bought a Mr Shifta not long ago as some of you know, and it's ok, as long as the caravan is actually on the drive.. it seems to lift up off the road when trying to get the 'van over the dropped curve and over the pavement. So the plan is to reverse the 'van onto the drive using the car, then use the Mr Shifta to finally position it where it needs to be. If I can't get the hang of this, I really am going to spend a small fortune on a motormover for it as I can't be doing with all this stress on returning home...
Not good at reversing a car, let alone a caravan!
I managed it once onto the drive but I think it was a fluke. Hey ho.
