How will you lower the rear ramp door to load your toys into it in your driveway if the trailer is that close to the house?
Well that thought never really crossed my mind before. I suppose when I want to load it up, I will have to pull it up away from the house.
I also looked into those portable battery powered trailer dolly. I had the theory that if the trailer was too long, I could flip it around and put the tongue towards the house. I have a 2 foot overhang on the second level which prevents me from backing the trailer right up to the garage. THs seem to have no bumper so OAL can't be stored "under" that overhang as much as my current trailer.
Only concerns are
1) Trying to see around the trailer at the sidewalk when I have my truck parked on the driveway. I would be contending with the back end of the trailer vs the tongue which is basically a couple feet of open space to see around.
2) My street can get a little busy at times. Those machines are not particularly quick. People get impatient waiting the 10 seconds for me to back in now.
Benefit is
1) I can get a trailer slightly longer (36') which seems to be the sweet spot for the shorter THs
2) No one can easily steal it!
3) Easier to load. The side door is on the correct side of the house, and as mentioned above, the rear door has full room to open and load.
I will do some more looking around online when the weather is cold out.
