Don’t shout at the wife/ spouse/ partner because “you are standing where I can’t see you”.
How do I know what you can see unless you tell me?
In fact don’t shout at the non reversing partner at all. It doesn’t help.

With my Superb and it’s DSG gearbox I tended to use the motor mover most times.Don't .save your clutch and car and get a motor mover.!😄
Why would anyone have a ding dong about erecting an awning as that is probably simpler than levelling the caravan?Thats absolutely right, as within 30 minutes you can really have a ding dong erecting the awning. Another episode of spectator sport too.
I’ve seen more domestics wrt putting up an awning than pitching up or levelling. Some even refer to them as “ the divorce maker”Why would anyone have a ding dong about erecting an awning as that is probably simpler than levelling the caravan?
One of my early caravanning lessons was to learn to put an awning up on my own - much more harmony that way!I’ve seen more domestics wrt putting up an awning than pitching up or levelling. Some even refer to them as “ the divorce maker”
We have never had that issue as from day one followed the instructions as we work together and let OH do most of the work. However from next year we have give up the Isabella Magnum for a small 260 air awning and not bother with erecting a wikndbreak to keep in the dogs as they are getting elderly now and not wandering away. However we do have arguments about other things as nothing is perfect. LOL!I’ve seen more domestics wrt putting up an awning than pitching up or levelling.

I got plenty of practice putting it on a hardstanding pitch when it came to caravan storage i found it very easy31 years of reversing your outfit onto a pitch Beachball????
Blimey,must have been a big queue behind you.🤭 .
Only joking👍
I've had to reverse once - coming out of a CL in Ingleton, it was half a mile of single track with no passing places to get to the main road - met an artic coming the other way who was adamant I was nearer the entrance than he was the road, so I had to reverse about 200 yards, no as bad as you might expect once you're in the groove.In 7 years we've never had to reverse for an HGV- we went wrong in Norfolk and carried on till we found a farmers 'pad' which we used to do a u turn but wouldn't consider reversing on a public road tbh-and went wrong down a single track road-that turned out to be a dead end-no one would've reversed out of there -we unhitched turned the van, drove the car down the grass verge and got out that way! You may come across the situation when you need to reverse eg small entrances etc-happy to do that but extended reversing-no thanks!
