I am wondering if anyone on the forum travels alone? I will be traveling solo most of the time and am concerned about what to do when you get there. Any hints or tricks for maneuvering into campsites or moving sliders in and out?
Thanks in advance,

Marybeath,
I have and will again this year travel alone for a spell. My Bride is once again traveling to our daughters for Grandma duties.
My suggestions for maneuvering the RV into a back in site is to get out of the vehicle and look things over... even if you need to do this several times. I also attempt to back in, turning into the site... so I can see the RV side as it makes the turn... looking out the left (drivers side) window as I back. I watch the placement of the wheels on the RV as I back... having learned where they need to be before I swing the steering wheel and make the turn.
Knowing the distance your slide out rooms take... using an arm's length to help measure from trees or posts sticking up... helps you know the slide room will not be bumping into things.
Beyond that... Practice... Practice... Practice... backing up is the only answer to feeling comfortable by your self.
If all else fails... ask for a helping hand. Many campgrounds will have someone that could be your eyes behind the RV. Maybe have two portable radio's on hand for those occasions.
