Parking an RV - dang!!?

Question:
Some say, when the rear wheels are close to the driveway, you stop and back up the RV. Some say, when the tail end of the RV is lined up with the driveway, you can then back up the RV. Hum, either one is difficult for me!! What is your trick? I almost always end up jack-knifing the RV. It is a 30 foot rig. A far cry from my ex-pop-up. Got a sketch?
