Getting That Last Little Inch

Maybe it's age. Maybe it's bifocals. I'm not sure, but I'm not liking it. Some years back when we first were truck camper folk, it seemed so easy to "get the truck under the camper." Now I squint, crane my neck, break my arm, and express myself verbally in ways that aren't always befitting. Why does it sometimes seem so hard to get lined up for loading up the rig?

One of the more frustrating aspects is when "you're just about there," with the emphasis on the "about" part. You're lined up and ready to go, but you're just an inch or so "off" the mark. Here's a trick to give a try:

Crank the wheel hard over and pull ahead a few inches. Now crank the wheel back in the opposite direction and roll her back. That little bit of "shuffling" will move your truck tail an inch. Of course, it takes just a bit of practice--doesn't everything?

We'd love to hear your suggestions on how your making loading less stressful. Just leave them in the comments section.
