I went to hitch up my trailer this morning and someone parked there 30 foot travel trailer about 10 feet in front of my travel trailer and blocked me. I didn't have time to mess with it but I only have about 10 feet of room and I don't think I can get my vehicle in there to hitch it up. Any suggestions? It's a 30 foot 5000lb travel trailer. It's parked on level ground. I don't think I'm going to be able to find the person that did it.Moved to General RVing Issues forum from Towing.

Can you hook up and move the offending unit?

Do you have enough space to hook up at an angle? If you use weight distribution you could just hook it up after you get the trailer out of the tight space. Sounds 10 feet should be sufficient space to do so.

I was thinking about trying to hook up to his trailer. :) He might not like that though. I can try to get in at an angle. Hopefully I have enough room. thanks.

If you are parked legally then call the cops to move the other car.

Why close it? The thread will fall out of favor like all the others and fade off into the archives.

Interesting, how is blocking defined? Is there separate language for automobiles and trailers? Three feet of space gets a car out but not a trailer and how do they know how long the tow vehicle is, could be a regular cab short bed, crew cab long bed or maybe a MDT.

Answer: it is blocked if you can't get it out. If it is a vehicle or trailer, It can't be blocked in by another vehicle or trailer. So whatever the owner has that he pulls his trailer with if he can't get it out he is blocked.

In our scout troop we would have sent one of the new guys to go find a sky hook, then you could lift the tongue of the camper over far enough to hitch up.

The OP suddenly realized that he was in an RV park and with a 1:00 PM check-out time, the other trailer would soon be gone. Now, he's just to embarassed to come back and tell us that he didn't know where he was.

The OP must have realized that the front trailer was his other trailer.

The OP must have gotten it out, because his trailer now pulls to the right. Uh-oh!, maybe that is why his trailer is now pulling to the right - and he doesn't want to tell us about it:R

He's also using Verizon for internet access, but apparently not to update this thread.

If the OP can't hook it with 10 feet of room, he certainly doesn't need to be pulling it down the street or highway! :R

All in due time :)
I want to give the OP every chance to update us.
I am also curious to know how it ended.
