Strech it across to level and get the measurement at the place where the tires would be. I can't believe it's 8 inches. Also, tour TT's door(s) would be opening on the house side - enough room? Get your family to snap some pictures - would help. And be sure to post some pictures of your TT parked in that space.
And the latest update is that although we were originally told the driveway is level, it isn't level. In actually measuring it, it is actually at a 4-5 degree angle. That means we will be needing to have one side of the camper up 6-8 inches with a wheel base of ~7.5 feet. I'm not sure we're up for that. We have leveled going up about 3-4 inches before, but that height seems like a lot. We'd need to figure out how to cut and set up lumber to get it up that high.
Hmmm? I wish it was simpler. Would you just angle the edge of the lumber and make sure you have enough for that height? What angle would you cut the edge of the lumber? Or would you give up and go to an RV park?
