Then pull out of it, come around, and try to repeat it with the cones still in place. I did this over-and-over several times. It took about a year, before I realized I was backing into campsites and not stressing out any more!
Great advice, we used a empty Kmart parking lot and spent hours turning around, backing in, twisting and turning to get a feel. I will be honest, I did run over and kill a
few orange cones, but it was worth it!
