Default Re: Grey Nomads - grumpy pains in the ***

Not quite like reversing a caravan, but there's also the reversing to hook up the tow hitch.
When I was being demonstrated a Territory before we bought the new one in 2016, the salesman showed me the "close up" button on the reversing camera screen, which makes it dead easy to line up your towball with the trailer.
He "loud-whispered" to me, enough for my wife to hear in the back seat - "We call this the Wife Eliminator!".

And to tell you the truth, she is absolutely useless at guiding a vehicle back. How many times have I called out to her "Don't stand behind the car!" when I am reversing up to a wall or another car!

Probably one of the main reasons I bought the Territory, the rev camera is brilliant.

Cheers.
