BackIng Up a motorHome
Whether you are 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, only five clearly defined signals
should be used, with only one signal given at a
time. Flailing arms with indecisive signals only
confuse the driver. Signals should be given with
purpose and confidence. Directional signals are
directing travel of the rear of the motorhome.
