There's plenty of good boating talk on the boating discussion boards.
Rec.Boats is just a right-wing sewer now, and most of the sewer dwellers
haven't had a boat for many, many years, if they ever had one.

Why is it that you can't back the trailer into the driveway with your

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.

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

Can't tell how wide the street is but I could probably back an 18 wheeler up there.... although I might scrape the bush that hides his mailbox.

Again, check the width at the entrance - not the width at the garage.

Donnie, the suggestions you've been given were not given out of spite. They were offered as a help -
from several folks here.

You might consider just saying 'thanks', but that may be too sociable for you.

He can't... he is just too stupid to get it.

I wondered about that mailbox myself. 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.


Neither of them can back a trailer John... That's why they are crying
like this.

Hope you're having a great day!

Trouble is..Johnny, at least four of those offering "help" added smart comments, ridiculed me.. or called me names.

That would be you, Snottie, Slammer and of course..Hank.
I do thank and appreciate comments and advise from those who offered them in a constructive manner.


Every ****ing fake boating post of yours has insults in it... So does
every question from you. You are a ****ing asshole, we are trying to be
nice but you are worse than krause......

Suggestions were made in good faith. You proceeded to trash the suggestors in the same or other
threads. What the hell would you expect? You might try getting your nose out of Harry's butt for a
change.

Please cite where I "proceeded to trash the suggestors".
You're getting as bad as the little bitch in South Windsor... who doesn't even own a boat..
wait a minute.. neither do you.
