If you are backing up in a straight line then you can back up while using Pro Series system # 49570 with friction bar # 83660. But more often than not you will be turning while backing up and that is when you will run into problems.

Basically, it is the friction sway control unit that could get damaged if backing up with this system. As long as you disengage it first backing up won't be a problem.

For a similar system with built in sway control that does not have a backing up restriction and with the same tongue weight capacity rating as the Pro Series system (1,000 pounds) I recommend Fastway e2 system # FA94-00-1061. It costs a little more but the sway control will be more effective and you won't have to worry about backing up.
