    Use a front mounted hitch and just push it into position.

    Sounds like a lot of work to unhook, turn around, rehook, etc.

    But in the right conditions it's a huge timesaver.

    Not to mention you can use the front hitch for other things, like a winch, bike rack, rod carrier, etc.

    Mobtown Offroad has a slick hidden one. Much nicer than the Curt bit that hangs underneath.

    The best advice is practice. There isn't any substitute for experience. Go to a parking lot and practice backing in a strait line for at least a 100ft. Then
    put out safety cones as obstacles and try backing into stalls from different angles.
