Perhaps the Herrings don't get mail. :) I'm familiar with that area, generally. They are subdivision streets, and quite roomy. Obviously, though, it doesn't take much effort to back a trailer up into that driveway. The street is a normal subdivision street. I don't need the whole street to back the trailer in. John (Gun Nut) H. This what I have to contend with. My slot is at an angle so apparent street width is bigger. http://www.alamedacountyfair.com/rvStorage/storage.php Where I store mine is very similar. For me, the trick is to stay close to the left side of the road as I'm backing the trailer around clockwise - and go well past the entrance before starting to back up. And, of course, patience. John (Gun Nut) H. I have been teaching my girls to back rigs lately. I am sure either of them could put the little bitch from ns trailer away easily... Both can take a trailer in and out of our driveway and put them straight in either land I tell them in the street... |

Instead of going to school, your girls can get jobs in a warehouse, or as a truckers' helper. Why bother with school, eh? |

You have to remember how narrow minded John is. If his street and driveway are a certain width and length, everyone's should be exactly the same. It was always a bitch backing that 25' Parker on its trailer down my driveway, because of the narrowness of our little private road in this part of the subdivision, the narrowness of the driveway in places and the curves. As long as I did it slowly, I was OK...usually. :) The smaller Parker was never a problem. |

If you have space enough to pull it out, you should have room to back it in. I can..and do on occasion. I just find it awkward.. hard to see where I'm backing to and of course depends on whether there are vehicles parked opposite my driveway. It's a very narrow street and a very narrow driveway... 10 feet narrow. === You might find it helpful to put a few long stakes or bamboo poles in a few strategic locations along the edge of the driveway so you can see them in your mirrors. I can always see one side in the mirrors... the vehicle ends up at such an angle to the trailer that the other side is a dead zone. Ad to that.. as soon as I start, cars always come around the corner trying to get by. This adds to my feeling of needing to get the backing-up done quickly and efficiently. Once you learn how to do it, it'll be pretty quick. John (Gun Nut) H. I beg to differ John.. With the opposing inclines, and the curb to jump, that corner becomes probably 4-5 times harder in my opinion. The technique could be mastered but every time you hit it you would have to get a running start and slam your trailer tire over the curb. I would guess with my limo and truck driving experience I can probably back as good or better than anybody here and I would not want to do that trick every time I brought my boat home. Right now I have the opposite. A huge incline up to the edge of the road and when the trailer tires make that change it really changes the radius of the turn and ****s up the flow. To do that over a curb.. well anyway... I would spend the money and get a motorized dolly.. I mean, you don't go without lifejackets, oars, flares, motor, etc.. the tools you need to do your hobby. The use of a couple 2x4s or 3x6s make a ramp for the curb. I would never try to 'hit' the curb with a running start. I always put my 'ramp' in place and let the trailer tires climb it up to the curb. Remember, my trailer weighs in over 5 tons, so I'm not going to go 'hitting' the curb. John (Gun Nut) H. All I am saying is opposing inclines at the radius of the turn, creates a lot of problems putting the tow vehicle and load, on different planes... Tends to buckle the rig... Oh, HORSE****!!!! "Different planes".... Are you trying to say that the tow vehicle and the trailer being towed are on the SAME plane usually?? And are you really trying to say that being on different planes will cause damage to one or the other?? Please, tell us more! Give examples, show us the physics behind this phenomena.... Go back and read the post of mine from which you got your wrong ideas. That'll straighten it out. John (Gun Nut) H. I guess kevin has never backed a rig over a crest of a hill or into a dip:) IF you are talking about me, dip****, I've backed more trailers than you'll ever see. The reason your stupid **** about "different planes" is indeed stupid, is that the trailer and tow vehicle are always on different planes!!!!! If not, there would be know need for a ball hitch! |

My boat lives in back of my house, I have to go between the house, and trees, curving around the corner of the house, through the fence opening. The trouble is getting started right, because when I back into the driveway there is a hump to go over that is abrupt enough that you lose sight of the boat in the mirrors unless you have it started at the correct angle. I'm used to it so no problem for me, but for someone that hasn't ever backed it down there, I will guarantee they'll fumble around with it. |

Sure was, but I found something better and more reliable... muscle power.
