BACKING UP A MOTORHOME
Whether a long time owner of recreational
vehicles or just starting out, backing up can be
a challenge. Follow some simple guidelines to
help reduce the challenge. When backing up,
the driver (pilot) should be comfortable using
the mirrors, the back-up camera and the co-
pilot’s directions (ground guide) for assistance.
Practice backing up with the co-pilot’s guidance
in a large, unobstructed parking lot. Backing up
is a team effort.
The backing process should begin while the
motorhome is in forward motion. Maneuver the
motorhome to align with the chosen site. Aligning
the motorhome with the site after the backing
process begins may require more than one attempt.
When the motorhome is properly aligned with
the site, the parking area will be visible in both
mirrors. Use road markings as reference points
when possible.
When pull-through sites are not available,
pick a solid, level site on the left side for a
better eld of vision using the roadside mirror.
If the site is on the right, use the curbside mirror
for backing up, but stay aware of blind spots.
Get out and walk the area prior to backing in.
Look for potential hazards or obstacles that
may damage the motorhome. If the site is
satisfactory, prepare to back in carefully. Have
the co-pilot provide guidance using the ve
hand signals. Use of walkie-talkies will also aid
in guidance.
The co-pilot will perform just as important a
job as the driver. When guiding the driver, the
co-pilot should be located safely at the left rear
corner of the motorhome, facing forward, while
remaining visible in the roadside mirror at all
times. The co-pilot should make a conscious
effort to maintain sight of the driver through the
roadside mirror as the motorhome maneuvers.
If the driver loses sight of the co-pilot, stop the
backing up process until the co-pilot returns to
view. To avoid mishaps, the co-pilot should be
focused only on what the driver is doing, with
brief observation moments. If necessary, stop
the backing up process to have co-pilot inspect
other areas or angles of concern.
