One more thing to mention tonight: Turning.
Not a problem, once you learn it. My setup is 55 feet from bumper to bumper. U-turns are just over 2 lanes wide. Which means residential streets (the ones out west, not the carriage lanes in the east) are not a problem. Just got to the next intersection, turn wide and crank tight. Open it up part way through and the trailer just pivots in pretty much the same spot.
It needs to be practiced a few times before you get stuck somewhere.
'S' type backups are about the same. Just watch the mirrors. Normal safety practices of course about having a spotter, watching the rear for obstacles, etc.
