I disagree. It takes practice, trial and error, and more practice to
back up a decent-sized trailer with accuracy. Best place to practice
is
an empty parking lot and bring along some traffic cones or a
substitute.

It's easier to control the direction of a large, longer trailer than a
short one when backing.

I'd agree. With my 1990 Merc. station wagon, I hated backing my 18 ft
Chris Craft on a single axle EZ-load trailer. couldn't steer straight
back for spit.

However same tow vehicle I didn't have a problem with the 23' Marquis
on a dual axle Shoreline. I did prefer to have plenty of room to
turn and back because of the trailer flexing and tire skidding,
though.
