hello I'd like to talk to you today about how to back up to a trailer yourself okay so maybe you
want to use your mirrors some people may want to do that if you notice here's my license tag
and what I like to do is if you notice above my license tag there is a metal point you can
actually use that if you want to to help you line up you may not have to but just a little tip for
you guys so maybe you want to use your ears you know it can be helpful maybe to use your mirrors
maybe and that but just figure out what works for you okay so here we go and when you're going you
may want to try to put it into a straight line with it so I'm driving this way right and all
of a sudden I start turning if you want to you can use your mirror or look behind you or whatever but
here we go and you see when it you only see part of it check that mirror that mirror okay so how
does it look like we're lined up exactly straight but let's just try this out you don't want to go
too fast okay you want to go kind of slow just in case you make a mistake if you go too far you
don't want to hurt your vehicle you do hurt it you want minimal damage so just kind of go like this
um probably pretty close let's see where we are at okay so what's that maybe a maybe a foot so let's
see if we're lined up not quite but I should be able to move this trailer by hand so if I'm about
a foot back right let's go ahead and let me show you a little trick here go ahead and put this tool
down so I got the tool down on the ground let me put my foot about a foot away and then I can back
up and kind of know the distance I'm traveling see that okay so let's go back here see what
we're at alright now if this was a much heavier trailer you know I might need to adjust it more
but for right here I need to lift this right and I should be able to just move the trailer
back and let's go ahead and start
bringing it down and I need to probably ship the trailer
maybe a little bit more go ahead and just move it grow a little too much
this is not the best trailer stand what I have here you might want to use a concrete block
preferably a concrete block that is filled in with concrete maybe a wooden block okay
so what to jack it up once it is jacked up you want to push this down and it's nice if
you stick something in it to lock it now let's take this kind of give it the good old fashioned
okay now we need to hook up the trailer chains now if your trailer chains are too long you do
not want them dragging on the ground so you might want to try twisting the chains okay
so this twist twist some people may want to cross the chains
so okay twist twist but don't want them dragging so here we go in here is the electric wire
let's go ahead and plug this in
okay so we got the lights plugged in got the chains on get whoa it's not good to
have a screw on the ground let's go ahead and now put this in shut this and let's not
forget the tool I put on the ground so guys I hope you enjoyed the video hopefully you
