Yes ii's harder to make a 5er turn sharply but not if you pull the PU ahead several times to increase the angle of the turn when backing up. The ability/experience of the driver has more to do with where you can put the trailer than the type of trailer.
"Turning radius is a function of the distance from the pivot point to the CL (center line) of the trailer wheels." Guess you have never maid a 5er go backwards while turning around.:S
12 years ago I made the mistake of believing posts on here that 34' was the max for NP, SP, USFS CGs. Did not take long to learn that's not true and just because a CG has 26' max, that does not mean every site like the USFS CG below.
PS: there is another site at this CG with only 12 sites that I can get into, but the trees will block the Sat internet.
