I can..and do on occasion.
I just find it awkward.. hard to see where I'm backing to and of
course depends on whether there are vehicles parked opposite my
driveway.
It's a very narrow street and a very narrow driveway... 10 feet
narrow.

My trailer backing skills improved dramatically after I learned to use
the side mirrors only .... no more turning your head to look out the
back window.
It was necessary when we had the fifth wheel and once I practiced
enough it became instinctive rather than having to think about which
way to turn the steering wheel. I use mirrors only on all size
trailers now.

YES~! My cousin was a long haul truck driver, and he was adamant about
using mirrors only, no matter what size trailer.
