just a quicky on backing up with a trailer,,instead of putting your hand at the top of the steering wheel put your hand at the bottom..If you want the trailer to go in the direction your backing up turn the steering wheel in that direction..
I showed this to my X g-friend and turned her loose in a sams parking lot with the trailer on back after it closed..
now she is a pro!

That would be ideal with 2 cameras and a switch button! I will have to try the bottom of the steering wheel as I have not tried that yet. I think that with us using the radios and him guiding me sometimes helps and sometimes makes it more difficult because he says turn this way, then more and then not that much lol. Thanks!
To the OP good luck in your search!

Ford F450.....
Heck with the way these illegal truckers are killings us legal ones, I'm thinking about selling or trading my F450 for a smaller rig. Love the truck and it's been perfect, but need better MPG to compete. Take a look at BisbeesMarine.com where you can see some pics. 2001 F450, 6 speed manual with ZF gear box, 4:88 rear, custom bed, 5" exhaust from turbo, comp programer, cold air induction...nice rig and it all works like it should. Any interest please let me know. Just thinking about it but saw your post and thought I'd pipe in.
Thanks,
