100% There is nothing harder to reverse that a little pr1ck of a short single wheel trailer. The slightest twitch of the steering wheel and the little fcuker is at a 90 Degree angle to the car.

A good long trailer with double or treble wheels is very forgiving, and once you take your time, very easy to reverse.

Yes, I can do it. I'm not any fantastic hot-snot at it, but I started a long time ago and have done a lot of different shapes and sizes. Mind you, it's been a while.

If it has more than one axle, easily.

Those little single axle trailers are the work of Satan, easier to just unhitch it and move it yourself.
