If you've ever operated a pallet jack, you might want to think of backing the trailer up like you would push a pallet jack. Might sound silly, but it helps me (probably because I use a pallet jack almost every day at work).

Welcome to the forum.  As for backing up find a nice open area and use some cones or something to practice.  It doesn't take long to get the basics.

Happy Podding

The bulbs are a little bit dimmer than the original ones but not having spent any real time in the pod before I replaced them I probably won't notice them next time.  The fact that they run cooler when the fixtures are about head height is also a bonus.

I'm curious regarding the bulbs you bought and what you think of them?
 
Hugo - don't worry about language.  English is my second language also... my first is something called "Hillbilly".  LOL

Hugo, I really admire you for trying to post your question here when English is not your first language.  Writing a 2nd language is MUCH harder than speaking it.
 
I teach English as a 2nd language to children in Kindergarten - 2nd grade.  Most of my students are from Mexico.  I could not go to Mexico and speak and write in Spanish the way they have to read, speak, and write here in school in English.  I think my students are "muy intelligente!"
 
And from a teacher -- I give you an A+ for your effort here in this forum!  Big smile  You have come to the right place for help.

LED?  There are several posts around here on that, but I'm just about ready to go to bed so I can't look right now.  Use the search feature at the top of the page and plug in LED, I'm sure you'll find posts of interest.
