One of the tips that I picked up (I think on this forum) was to look at the inside wheel on the TM and then make a mental chalk line of how that wheel needs to track in order to get the TM to where I want it.

On most sites, I'll pull past the site and back in so the TM driver side tire is on the inside of the turn so I can look over my shoulder (out the driver side window) and track the TM tire along my imaginary line. I go slow and check progress against the imaginary line and make small adjustments as needed.

Backing into the garage, I back the other way (with the passenger side TM wheel being on the inside of the turn) because I park the TM with the TM entry door against the garage wall and want to be able to watch the clearance on that side. It's a bit harder to watch the wheel and I use the mirror more instead of looking back out the window...but same idea...a make a mental imaginary line of how/where I want the TM wheel to track.
