Parking Your Motorhome Alone


When I start talking about how to park a coach in the Driver’s Confidence Course offered at Lazydays, one of the first things I say is, “Your partner should stand here.” Almost always I am asked “What if I’m alone; how do I park?”

More and more, people are attending the class alone. Some work in sales, some are widowed or disabled. Others are independent travelers. So, I have come up with a simple solution to park a coach without human assistance, under good conditions.

How about backing up a fifth wheel both solo and with someone? I did a search but got a pile of unrelated articles.

get a rear view camera, only thing to worry about then is overhead, I always back in by myself, Worth the money, plus it helps on the road to see what s coming up beside you. and to check your toad.

Would you please do a version of the same backing procedure for a 5th wheel?

Great article with class A RVs, but any advice for those of us that have a 5th wheel in backing it up alone.

How about backing a Travel Trailer? Any Suggestions?

I would suggest you have the RV at the top of parking spaces facing left. From a truck drivers point of view, that s how we always see the picture. You have the RV backing in from left to right but it appears to be upside down. Just sayin. Thanks.

Trailers & 5th wheels, also always back from left to right. Practice, practice, practice is what makes it work. Practice backing into your driveway or practice backing into a striped parking spot in a large parking lot. Practice gets it done.

I just read your article on parking alone. I recommend that all RV owners look into adding cameras and a parking assist system to their RVs. The products are not expensive and help tremendously in doing alone or blindside parking manuvours.

Thanks Barney! That is great info with very clear instructions. You were also a great instructor when I took the course.
