Actually .....would have only needed that when some CG Staff attempted to 'guide' me into a site.
SHE on the other hand........we worked out OUR system many years ago that is strictly silent hand motions (NOT gestures!)
On the other hand I have witnessed some interactions that would require multiples of that pillow....one would cut it
CG backin sites and boat ramps

My wife and I have worked together in our business for 29 years every single day.
Things I yell while parking is like a love poem compared to some days at work.

Two of my most favorite camping outings was sitting in my Class A in the pouring down rain. My dog Wyatt Earp and I were watching a couple of fellow campers trying to back there TT into the park site. Best entertainment a guy could ask for. Wyatt had his regular meal and water while I had Pork chops and Jack Daniels.

When we first got our TT, Pammi had me back way too far away from the hook ups, so I wound up having to buy another sewer hose so it'd reach the drain.
I'd spent a good 10 minutes getting it leveled and really didn't feel like moving it again.
On the other hand, last summer the guide at a KOA had me back into the water hookup.
While he was guiding me back.

My friends and I pulled into a small campground in Quebec. He has a 42 ft DP, and mine is 38 ft. We were both pulling tow vehicles. The campground was quite small, and I don't think they ever got many class A mh there. The sites they assigned us were across from the swimming pool. We pulled up by the pool and both unhooked the toads. A small crowd had gathered by the pool, I guess in anticipation of these Ontario guys who were going to try to shoehorn these great big rvs into these little spots. Some had camera phones going and everything. They seemed quite disappointed as we both wheeled into those spots like it was nothing. Maybe some previous rvs had provided some good entertainment. I know we like to enjoy a cocktail, and watch the show when all the new arrivals show up. Can be quite the spectacle some times.

I 100% agree. My wife and I use the same system and have never had a problem.
Worst time is when campground folks try to "guide us in"
And it can be kind of funny to watch some others attempt to park their rigs.

We've never used words - silent hand signal only. No issues. I will say that we both drove equally so we knew what was required to get backed in.

Once had a CG staffer insist in backing me in, I told him if he will sign a statement accepting all responsibility for any and all damages to my rig or CG property, he could. He shut-up and walked away.
DW and I use the , neither say a word. If I lose sight of her I STOP immediately and GOAL.
