I'll just use my truck. I can put it any where I want it with my truck. You should see how I have to park it at home.
I have to back out of the road, between 2 trees, then turn it go go down beside the house, then turn it to go in thru the gate, then turn it the other way to back it under the camper port.
Like I said. I can put it any where I want it. But then I started backing trailers at a young age. My first real job was backing new boats into the warehouse, and turning them to park side, by side once inside.
But as self proclaimed awesome of a trailer backer you are, you can’t get a trailer in where the truck and trailer won’t fit. Like our old house with a side loader garage. Not a chance of getting the boat in the garage with the truck. But with our CJ 5 with a front hitch, could jack knife it right in and back out again.
come and try my parking spot, and then we will talk.
and yeah. I'm pretty awesome at backing. Living in town with the houses pretty close together, and the backyard being the only place I can keep it. I have to be. I have to make 3 90 degree lefts, and a 90 degree right to get it under the camper port.
Also having learned backing boats worth tens of thousands into a ware house, and parking them side by side. Kind of gave me incentive. they didn't let just any one do it.
But then I've had 50 years of practice.
Thing is. every one has different talents. One of mine is driving. I was taught by the best. I know there are lots of people on here that are much better at lots of things than me.
