Turning 34' TT in Cludesac?

I have been in plenty where you could not turn out , be prepared to back out !

Also watch TV rear bumper into TT, depending on how you are set up, if you turn to sharp and there is not enough clearance between the two and it goes crunch. Takes awhile to get the feel of how sharp you can turn. I can't turn around in my sons cul-de-sac. I call him if I'm alone to guide or if wife is with me she walks behind and to one side and we "walk it back. To many kids and parked cars to back up without extra eyes.

The one I truly hate is a side street that dead ends and no where to turn around and have to back out into busy 4 lane. Darn GPS!

We live in a cul-de-sac. In this part of GA, they make the streets as narrow as they can get away with. We've had tractor trailers with 53' trailers turn around in our cul-de-sac. If they can make it, so can you.

If cars are parked in the street, it may be a different story. You may find you'll have to back up a couple times, but it should still be do-able.

Can you turn your tow vehicle around without backing up now? If so then your trailer will follow your tow.

I am going to pick up my new TT on Monday. I live on a cul-de-sac in Indiana. I think its a "standard" size cul-de-sac but don't want to get down there and not be able to turn around. How can I tell? I thought about driving to an open parking lot and measuring how sharp I can turn. Any suggestions from you pro's. I'm not a complete newbie at this, but I am new at this length.

I will be pulling a Forest River Cherokee Greywolf 27RR TH.

Measure the curve of the Cul de Sac then take the rv out to a big parking lot and drive the rv as if you were driving into the Cul de sac, when you get about 1/2 way through your turn, stop and masure the distance of the truck and RV from outside to outside. compare the 2 measurements.

We have a cul-de-sac on our street too. I'd estimate it to be about 60' in diameter. I can turn our 35' tt no problem. We're about 58' bumper to bumper. There is a lot of tire scrubbing as our tt has wide stance axles.

Well, first time have someone outside to watch for tail swing. Watch for excessive tire wear if you'll male that turn often
