OP here... appreciate the banter, it gives me many ideas and options.
Just to clarify, When I used the word "state" I meant it as a term of "condition" or "circumstance", not as a political boundary. I need to get my proposed site into a condition to accept a trailer in the location where I would like to place it.
As others have alluded, there is a certain ideal position on which to locate the door side of the RV, along with a deck or patio, that will capture the view to the river adjacent to my backyard with mountains as the backdrop.
I would need to bring in fill. My excavator, with whom I occasionally contract for projects, always has discharge from his other projects and is always looking for places to dispose of removed soil. I am willing to accept it and would like to perhaps make a spot for a trailer. The way it would be placed presents the quandary of which I asked on the original post. Maybe asking to "push" from the back bumper was not the best descriptor of my predicament, but it did start the conversation to eventually getting me thinking about the options and possibilities.
Very knowledgeable folks here and I appreciate the ideas. I will think on it more as to how best to resolve. It will not be this year and most likely not next either. But perhaps 3 or so years from now at the earliest I might be able to make this happen.
But as to the question of how to place the RV... when I get the site designed and installed, I will just have my excavator move the trailer into place. He has articulating front-end loaders and back-hoes that can make it happen by pulling it into position from the tongue ...and the equipment can easily navigate the new added raised soil.
