Back in I'm cheap and it's so easy to back in it's not worth extra money. Would rather spend the money for full hook up.

never spend extra for pull through site. And back-in sites tend to have more privacy, which is more important to us.

I always just back in unless all the sites are pull-through, and, like as stated above, we prefer more private sites. I'm a fairly experienced driver and have many years experience with trailers of all sizes/shapes so it's no big deal to me, but many people are not comfortable with backing a trailer or they simply prefer the convenience of not having to do so. I certainly would not pay extra for it, but that's just me...

p.s. I generally find the back in spots are nicer/quieter/shadier anyway

I totally agree...

Same here. Pull throughs are great for a quick stop and no disconnect but I do like back ins as I enjoy backing the trailer into tight spots.

Back Ins most of the time for us.
But
Pull Throughs for a one night stand only!

I've become pretty proficient at backing. I can back around a curve! If there's an additional charge, I'm backing in. Unless the back in site is just too tight. I'll pay $5 for a better view per night if we're staying two nights or more.

X2 she just frustrates me so I tell her to take a walk. Bad part is the dog gets upset when he sees the truck/trailer moving and he's not in it. Usually makes quite a seen whining, barking and howling! It's a good thing he's cute!
But to answer the question, like others, I prefer the privacy of a back in site, but like pull throughs or long back ins for quick overnights when we are not planning to unhook.

I think I'll have a better chance training my daughter how to spot me when backing up

Looking at your profile picture gljurczyk, Somehow I had just assumed you had stayed at NAS Pensacola
Love the museum and the fact that they moved to Cubi Point O'club to the museum is a real walk down memory lane for this ol 'Nam Vet!
