I've driven with trailers before for work, and never had any real problems when reversing - these were big trailers with a double axle and
13" wheels.I've recently bought a 4'x3', 8" tyred trailer for behind my van. Can I reverse it? No way. Even in a straight line it wants to go one way or another. My mate says they are near impossible to reverse, as the axle is too close to the rear of the vehicle, and little wheels make it harder.
So, any tips to reverse such a trailer, or do I just carry on doing what I'm doing, by unhooking it, reversing the van, then re-attaching it? Thanks Alan.
