Default Going backwards

My TM is the first thing I have ever towed. In preparation, I read all I could on tips for towing (pushing?) in reverse. Got all the stuff on using the bottom of the steering wheel to direct the rear of the trailer, etc. My service guy swears by using only the sideview mirrors, but I prefer to turn and look out the rear.

With some parking lot practice time, I can pretty much get it where I want it in reverse, but it's not a pretty sight to see. I guess I just have to put in the time and get the experience.

But I sure would appreciate any ideas for improving my skills. If nothing else, I'm providing ample entertainment for my neighbors as I back it into my narrow city driveway on a narrow street with little clearance .
