As a woman, who is better at backing up than my husband, I recommend the hand on the bottom of the wheel. Move your hand whichever way the back of the trailer needs to go. It is also extremely helpful to have a calm person helping you from behind, recognizing that you start to head toward an area before you want to be there. We back into our side yard through a section of fence that we remove. We have about 6" on either side, and a couple of trees to maneuver through. I can do this with my calm 15 year old (Tim) with few mistakes, but with my 14 year old, or my husband, it gets ugly. Best to park on the street until Tim gets home.
