At the bigger places, that's generally true. I once went inside to ask where the diesel pump was.
Answer, "Oh, it's around back."
Most definitely wouldn't try to take a 33' trailer 'around back'.
Not without looking anyway. ;-)
I have been in some tough spots towing my pontoon, behind a stretch
E-150.
Haven't had to unhook it and take another swing at it tho.
A few years ago we had a 25' Winnebago, and I towed my wife's car with it on a tow dolly a few times. There's no backing up with a tow dolly, at least not for more than a few feet. One time I made a wrong turn, got into a tight spot, and had to unstrap and unload the car, get the rig turned around, and load everything back up. What a pain.
I bet if you had a camera on the RV that watched the car, you could
learn how to do it
That would take a lot of practice. Trying to back up something with a
much shorter wheel base than the towing vehicle is tricky. Conversely,
the other way around, like backing up a 53' semi trailer is relatively easy.
Even backing a little lawn trailer with a lawn tractor takes some practice.

Might try it with the whole car on a trailer, but not with a dolly.
Never towed a dolly so I defer to you guys on that.
