Exactly right -- drop the trailer and scout around. We often build in an extra day just for that. We drop the trailer at a campground, scout, and then move to our new boondocking site the next day. That does not work if you are pressed for time, of course.
On many roads, you can see (on Google Earth) where there are really wide spots for turning around. Or you could try a three point turn. Even with a very short trailer, though (the box on my trailer is not quite 12 feet long!), a three pointer sometimes turns into a tedious ten pointer.
But with a 13 foot tall unit, there is no substitute for actually scouting -- those branches can ruin your whole day.
