Manoeuvring

Remember to allow for the extra length and width of your vehicle and trailer when taking corners or manoeuvring in a confined space.

Take a wide line to ensure the trailer does not clip the kerb, keeping a watchful eye on both door mirrors. Reversing a small trailer is far more awkward than a large one as it is a lot more sensitive to steering, and can be difficult to see.

When reversing into a space, turn the steering wheel the opposite way to normal to start the trailer turning, then slacken off and turn the normal way to enable the car to follow the trailer.

If you oversteer your trailer it could jack-knife and cause damage. Therefore, stop, pull forward in a straight line, and retry.

Don't give up, keep practising.

It would be useful to practise in a large open space before you are competent enough to go out on the road.
