I want to bring my trailer home to do some maintenance while we're all
grounded, but I'm not sure if I can access my house from the road. I
have a 90deg bend to get around and then the second issue is a short,
steep slope, which may ground the back of the trailer.
So my question is, if I measure things up, how can I calculate whether
access is theoretically possible? Is there any advice on the internet - I
can't find anything?
I don't want to just try the trailer for size because I fear getting it
stuck.
First, take the glider out of the trailer.
Get someone with a 4WD/AWD short wheel base towing vehicle to tow it down there.
Lower the tow vehicle hitch so the trailer rear end is up in the air an extra 6"+.
Put it on a flat bed truck and carry it down there. The flat bed has to just long
enough for the trailer wheels to be on it - the tail can stick out back.
