How Long Can I go?
Thanks to everyone in advance! We are looking at travel trailers - but we live in the middle of a long cul-de-sac and are concerned about getting the trailer around the cul-de-sac. We have a F-1...

I just want to thank all of you for your ideas and suggestions. We KNOW we cannot back the trailer into our driveway - we could barely put our 17' trailer in, it is a narrow street.
We are almost 700' from the corner to our house, I suppose that we could back the trailer in, but that sounds intimidating to me...anyone done that ?
Right now it seems the best course of action would be to take the cul-de-sac measurements to a dealer, chalk them out in their parking lot and see if we can make it. I think a real-world test will tell us if we are biting off a longer trailer than we can chew.
Unless of course, if there is anyone in the Charlotte,nc area that would like to take a shot at it :)!
If it is any consolation, a longer TT will have better "backing manners" in that it will take less correction to keep it going in the direction you want it to go. If you have a ground guide it makes the job a little less stressfull. With practice it is completely doable. A little more confidence in yourself is all you need, again it is doable, folks do it all the time and they had to learn as well. Hope this helps, FWIW!
