Flo,

 

I disconnect the battery and then with the key in the ignition turn it
on so the steering column is not locked.  The front wheels will and do
turn as you make the turns.  Backing up is next to impossible.

coming from a country where the all-four-down tiowing doesnt exist, I
just dont get the concept. what do you do to the wheels when you turn?
do you just leave the sterring wheel free spinning and the front wheels
will adjust??? 

the first time i saw an RV in the US towing their small suv I shouted
out to my then girlfriend (now wife) "oh man, that guy is tailgating
like crazy!".......
