Can a Trailer with Weight Distribution be Backed Up

Question:

We purchased BLU45FR Blue Ox Weight Distribution System with Shank - Round Bar - 10,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW Can you back up with this hitch or do you have tp disconnect before? Please get back to me today before 4:30pm Est time. We are putting it on the trailer today and going camping in the am. Thank you,

With a weight distribution system like the Blue Ox part # BLU45FR you can back up as long as you back up mainly in a straight line. You want to avoid getting the trailer into too tight of a jackknife situation.
