Impressive reversing
Gotta say, this is mighty impressive as I am totally useless at reversing with something attached but this driver makes it look effortless:

for reversing with the caravan, I was show a tip many years ago which works every time.
Select reverse (good start )
Take both hands off the wheel, and just put one hand at the bottom of the wheel.
Now to make the 'van go left, move your hand left - you are in fact turning the wheel right, but thats what needs to happens to make your trailer/'van go left.

Small trailers are way harder to reverse than large ones

I reversed my old caravan into a water tap at a site once. Very embarrasing
