Planning for an RV - side yard parking
Wondering about how easily a novice (with a little practice) could back up a trailer or fifth wheel into the above side yard. I live on a divided street that gets a fair amount of traffic during...

From experience: Don't plan on this RV, plan on the next one. What if the MH has front access, will you be able to open the door...I can't. Thus, I am limited to a mid-entry RV. If your pouring concrete, think of tire location for various sizes, and try to wave (raise) the concrete under the tires to make a level pad. Put a dump station in the plans. In LA this is not allowed, but a sewer clean out access is allowed...go figure. If you can widen the driveway access, do so...if zoning prohibits this, we had steel sheeting made to allow driving up the curb. I call the kids when I want to move the rig to help, but it is better than going over the curb. As for backing into the spot...practice makes perfect. I personally could not do it, I just know my limits. My wife used to back the MH onto the highschool football field thru gates just inches wider than the rig for all the football games to support the snack bar. My fireman friend would not even hesitate to back a trailer into the envisioned spot on your post. Me, not so much. As for the traffic, get some cones and make sure you have family or friends available to stop traffic while you slip into your spot. Good luck to you, and Happy Trails.
