I haven't read the thread, but I learned this trick on backing trailers from a truck driver when I was 15 and ever since I have been great at backing trailers. Put your hand at the 6 O'clock position of the steering wheel. The direction you want the ass end of the trailer to go, move your hand that direction. Super easy.

When you are pulling into a spot you need to back into, pull forward into it at a 45° from the drivers side and back in from there.

Hope that helps.

It works if you have your hand at the 12 o'clock position too.

Idiot
No it doesn't. If you are backing a trailer with your hand at the 12 o'clock, the ass end of the trailer will go the opposite direction of your hand... Edited. I remove me calling Marty an idiot. I felt bad. Even though I was kidding, I felt bad. Now I feel better for removing it. It's like it never happened.

I removed the "idiot" from my prior post. I was feeling bad Marty. Even though I was joking. There are so many better names to call you :)
