I towed for eleven years, and once or twice backed up maybe a distance of 18 to 20 inches. In that short a distance the toads front wheels were turned almost to the lock. When towing avoid situations that may require backing up, its something that should not be done. I once watched someone driving a 40+ foot DP with a Jeep on the back, backup for about 30 or 40 feet. The Jeeps front wheels were hard locked to one side, and skidding in that position as it was being pushed backwards. Don't know what damage may have been done, but it certainly did not do it any good. I would guess at the very least it would have required a front end alignment, maybe some components replaced.
