you dont reverse a roadtrain

[TheRoadTrains]

@ben83aus You have to reverse a Road-train to hook it all up, lot of cursing when you get it wrong.

[nesh2003]

Sir is it difficult to reverse it?

@nesh2003 I know that your comment was over a year ago,when backing if one keeps the primemover sweeping from side to side ever so slightly whilst reversing,seems to keep the trailers from"oscillating" sought'a nipping it in the bud from where the trailers want to go there own way,it worked for me, I used to be able to back a road train.......enough ,you don't reverse roadtrains if you can get a way with it and as far as last hitch up use a chain between trailers go forward then back in straight

@TheRoadTrains

My step father just does it in the order of.. Say a 3 trailer road train... middle trailer hooks up to last.. and then hooks up the front to the middle; I only drive b-double.. would love to be a road-train driver; been told next year I may get to team up with him.. I may not be solo.. but its a start.

[ben83aus]

only when hooking dolly up dont get me wrong yeah very very select few have backed road train but not far so i give credit where its due
