Portable radios are great with a spotter.
Also ensure you both understand directions.
For example " go left" is different depending on orientation of each person. Better to understand the spotter wants the rear of the trailer to go towards "driver" or passenger side" or whatever works better for you.
I got in a hurry one time and got lucky I did not dent up the trailer.
I always chock the trailer before disconnecting and leave the nose jack wheel on sitting on a plastic leveler or special jack wheel chock. This time I did not use the jack wheel chock and when we started opening the trailer the nose swung around a little until the trailer wheels stopped it. The rear was close to a fence but did not hit it.
Don;t get into a hurry a develop a routine, use a checklist, or whatever method is best for you.
