The five directional signals are as follows:
1. Co-pilot uses left hand and arm held horizontal,
with forefinger pointing right, to direct rear of
motorhome to the right.
2. Co-pilot uses right hand and arm held horizontal,
with forefinger pointing left, to direct rear of
motorhome to the left.
3. Co-pilot uses both arms and hands parallel with
thumbs pointing up and to rear in a waving
vertical motion. This signals driver to main-
tain a straight back direction.
4. Co-pilot holds arms horizontally, hands open with
palms facing one another. Start with a wide sepa-
ration, gradually closing distance of hands, in a
rate appropriate to vehicle speed, to indicate
amount of distance to the stop point.
5. Closed fists and crossed arms indicate STOP.
Backing Up Trailers:
Towed vehicles using a tow bar or tow dolly have
more than one pivot point and are not suitable for
backing. Attempting to back up the motorhome
while connected to a tow bar or tow dolly can jack-
knife the tow device causing the wheels of the towed
vehicle to move in a forward 'sideways' motion that
will cause irreparable and expensive damage. If neces-
sary, disconnect the tow vehicle to avoid a backing up
situation.
Trailers have one pivot point and may be backed up. The same rules for backing a motorhome
can be applied to backing a trailer. When preparing to back the trailer into a space, maneuver the
motorhome sweeping wide. Turn back to the opposite direction to maneuver the trailer into the space.
Keep the bottom of the steering wheel in the desired direction of travel for the trailer. For example: If
the desired direction of the trailer is left, rotate the bottom of the steering wheel left. If the trailer
moves in an undesired direction, use a short "pull-up" method, pulling forward just far enough to align
the trailer with the space. The co-pilot should stand safely at the left rear corner of the trailer within
view of the driver in the roadside mirror, using the five hand signals for guidance.
CAUTION:
Tow bars or car dollies are generally made to travel in a forward direction only. Most
towing equipment of this type is not designed for backing. Never attempt short back up
distances with a tow bar or tow dolly. Damage to the motorhome, vehicle or towing
device will result.
