Can a Trailer Be Reversed with a Fastway Weight Distribution System Installed
Question:
Can you back up without removing bars?

Expert Reply:
With the Fastway weight distribution system part # FA92-00-0800 you can back up the trailer while leaving the bars connected if you are backing up mostly straight. If the trailer is going to get "jacknifed" though you do need to disconnect the bars otherwise you may damage them as they don't allow the trailer to turn as sharp.
This is basically true for all weight distribution systems. You can turn slightly though while in reverse. Basically you can turn the trailer as sharp in reverse as you could if you were travelling forward and making a tight turn. Hopefully that gives you an idea what it would be like.
I attached a review video for more info on this system for you to check otu as well.
