Honda 1999 CR-V Reference Owner's Manual page 168

When parking your vehicle and
trailer, especially on a hill, be sure to
follow all the normal precautions.
Turn your front wheels into the curb,
set the parking brake firmly, and put
the transmission in 1st or Reverse
(manual transmission) or Park (auto-
matic transmission). In addition,
place wheel chocks at each of the
trailer's tires.
Backing up with a trailer is difficult
and takes practice. Drive slowly,
make small movements with the
steering wheel, and have someone
stand outside to guide you. Grip the
steering wheel on the bottom (rather
than the usual position near the top).
Move your hand to the left to get the
trailer to move to the left, and right
to move the trailer right.
