I have a break in the slope at the end of the driveway where it meets the sidewalk. It gets steeper and there is a low spot and then raises to meet the road. The result is we need to fill in the dip with lots and lots of boards in order to get out without dragging anything.
I have a Freightliner diesel with air bags (2004). Is there a way to temporarily raise the coach so we do not need to use the boards? Maybe an air system? What about slightly larger tires?
Any ideas are appreciated.
We have two driveways and when we brought our present coach home, we found that we could back into the one, although just barely and not into the other, at all. The dips were a bit much and more than what was needed for a water catch basin, so considering that the black top with the dip at the end of the concrete and our actual property line was looking pretty drab, we just had brick pavers laid down to lessening the depth some and problem solved.
Also installed a hitch roller for those times, when we might drag for a bit. It's has gotten some pretty good use as well, here and there.
