Joann,

Trick to backing up is put your hand on the BOTTOM of the steering 
wheel.  Push the bottom of the wheel in the direction you want the 
trailer to go.  Watch the trailer in your side view mirrors (electric 
ones are nice, you can move them around to scope out the terrain)  If 
you see more of the trailer appearing in one mirror or the other, that 
is the way the trailer is moving with respect to the prime mover.  If 
that's not what you want to happen, "push" the trailer back with the 
bottom of the steering wheel.  It's best if you can start out with the 
trailer and mover in line with each other, but that's not always possible.

If you can get to a nice big parking lot (school or shopping center) on 
a "closed" day, practice backing along the parking space lines.  An hour 
of practice and you will have a lifetime skill.

Go for it!
