This might mean getting out backwards, or putting a pro behind the wheel, but with expertise and patience, what goes in is supposed to go out.

I know from personal experience that this is not true.

Several years ago I was hauling a 31' camping trailer and took it down a short steep hill into a resort on Kayuka Lake in the Finger Lake Region of NY. I could not back it up because the hill was too steep for me to get enough power to back it up the hill, could not pull forward and through to exit a second option because the turn was too sharp and could not back up to a third option without dragging the bottom rear and damaging the road. There were no more options. Unfortunately, I had only one option possible where I could get out... and it was the third one.

Perhaps what goes up must come down, but what goes in can't necessarily go back or out!
