Hi videos, could you use the 20p annalogy to reverse in the opposite direction? I am also bit confused as you are steering the same way as you would with just the car without the caravan
Hi, yes, you could use the 20p analogy reversing blind side. It actually lends itself better this way because you are reversing blind side, you are more than likely having to get out of the vehicle and check your surroundings more. You only reverse as normal once you've already got the caravan turning. To turn a caravan, you steer the opposite way to the direction you want the caravan to go. Straighten the wheels to allow the caravan to turn more gradually before steering as normal to follow the caravan around the corner/ onto the pitch. I hope that helps?
Apologies I've just realised what video you were watching. Have you watched my other video for reversing onto a pitch? That covers reversing to the right
Ok, try to imagine the shape of a 20p piece. It's a circle but not a perfect circle because it has straight edges and corners. If you use a straight steering wheel (straight edge of 20p) and a full lock steering wheel (corners of a 20p), the caravan will still go round the curve of the corner. Not many corners are perfect either, so holding your steering wheel in a fixed position is almost impossible. I hope that explains it better?
