New Rockwood owner from NC

We are picking up our Rockwood TT 2608 BS in 2 days! We sold our 43' Monaco motorhome and are looking forward to being more nimble. This is our first towable so we have a lot to learn in regard to backing up, etc. Any tips are always appreciated

Biggest tip for getting the trailer to go where you want......place your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel. Whatever direction your hand moves, that’s the direction the rear of the trailer will go.

Second tip.....if you’re not sure how far to go....G-O-A-L

Get Out And Look.

The rest.......just takes practice.

Congrats, we love our 2608BSD.


Just take your time, don't let more than one person tell you how your doing while backing.
Remember, you will need to stay with your significant other afterwards... be clam.
