Parking a Class A within 4" of a wooden fence

Unfortunately, if the fence can't be moved, your original "don't hit the fence" is the answer.

Take it slow and maybe have a spotter (positioning the spotter safely needs to be considered since they won't have much space to stand in)

I don't think a curb will help as the overhangs will go over the curb by way more than the extra space you have.

Any way you cut it, if you hit the fence you will likley leave scratches or dents in the MH.

Make sure you measure carefully and include all the little protrusions like furnace vents and cargo bay door hold-opens and clearance lights. Often the published width of a vehicle excludes these things (and legal width limits generally also exclude them provided they're no more than a couple inches). Measured width also generally excludes the projection of the rear view mirrors, so if you're parallel to the fence, you will have trouble using the mirror to guide yourself unless it extends over the fence when unfurled. Also be alert to whether the ground is level; if it's tilted towards the fence, two inches at the ground could be a lot less at the top of the fence (particularly if the fence also isn't perfectly plumb).

Basically, though, it's a matter of going sloooowly and cautiously and preferably having a competent spotter or two to help.

On the positive side, you should soon have no trouble at all positioning yourself within the reach of the gas pumps!

Use some landscape timbers to create a curb. That will help prevent you from drifting. However, the driver's side is right outside your rearview mirror, you really shouldn't have too many problems.

The fence is the border of our driveway on the property so we cannot move it.
The fence would go along the driver's side of the coach so we can get out the other side.

Will you be able to open the door to get out??? Oh and how about the mirrors?

We're moving to a 32' Class A from our 23' Class C. The longer coach will make parking somewhat difficult on our property. The only way to make it work is to nose it in to the side yard a little (roughly 2'), which is just over 9' wide. This will pull the coach very close to the wooden fence we have. To avoid the possibility of grazing it and shredding paint off the coach, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions of something to do on that side of the wooden fence. While the right answer would be "don't hit it!" , its bound to happen once ... and I'd like to avoid an expense paint job as a course of that.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have!

Move the fence.
