BackIng Up a motorHome
Whether a long time owner of recreational
vehicles or just starting out, backing up
can be a challenge. Following some simple
guidelines may help to reduce that 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 field 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 five 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. The driver should receive directions
only from the co-pilot. When the co-pilot is
guiding the driver, five clearly defined signals
should be used, with only one signal given at
a time. Flailing arms with indecisive signals
confuse the driver. Signals should be given
with purpose and confidence. Directional
signals are directing travel of the rear of the
motorhome.
