Default Solution for pulling boat in driveway?

Actually, I do back it in but if the street is busy and I don't have the wife watching for pedestrians or stationery objects

Just looking for a way to make it easier and more enjoyable.


I back my 33' fifth wheel into the driveway every time we go out. Once I get positioned to begin
backing, it never takes long to get the whole rig off the street.

My advice - try backing in a few times on a quiet Sunday morning while everyone's still in bed.
After a few trys, you'll pull up, crank the wheel a bit, and put it where you want it. Yeah, you may
get yourself jacked a time or two, or have to pull up to pull over, but you'll very soon get very
good at it, especially with the Highlander.

Quit worrying about the neighbors. They'll understand.
