For some reason, I am having a bit of difficulty learning to back our '99 PT into many of the SW Florida CG lots. The steets seem way too narrow to allow me to manuever our rig easily into place and I'm hoping someone might have some tips on setup of the turn, etc. Most CG's here do not have pull thru's and tend to be a large mix of Mobile homes and RV's.
I'm a licensed pilot, licensed maritime captain and can back a trailer into just about any space imaginable, but this Beaver is getting the best of me. I've tried to understand the turning point at the rear axle as well as the swing of the front end which has helped a bit, but I think there must be a trick to this as there are handleing other vehicles, etc.
I seem to be able to get out of the lots reasonably well so I have to think I could get in with the same amount of planning. Usually, I can just barely (with a lookout) slip out without hitting any driveway marker posts (I hate those things).
So if anyone has a few tips on how to set up for the backup - please share.
Thanks
Jim
