Congrats - we haven't exactly had an easy time getting it back on the trailer either. We bought and installed trailer guides, which I highly reccomend, and also now drive up to the trailer, (but not on) and then winch it on rather than driving. Using the motor to power it on just hasn't worked for us no matter how straight we've had it lined up. So far winching it seems to be the key.
