Look, it's got to move sideways some before you can move it forward. Otherwise you're just going to tear the permanent structure up trying to slide the trailer past it.
Like I said a week ago, some good planks, a couple of heavy floor jacks, and a comealong are all you need. Lay the planks parallel to the axles to act as a track. Put one floor jack under each side, with the wheels rolling along the planks. Jack the trailer up. Pull the trailer sideways with the comealong, rolling on the jacks.
You don't need to move the trailer 2 feet. I could get the wheels in there with only 6", but it will move so easily you could do the full 2 feet if you wanted.
