Using a Front Mounted Hitch to Park Trailor?
We have a front mounted hitch on our truck. Normally we use this to carry our gen set on a rack at the front. However, the other day I was trying to reverse into a particularly tight ad tricky spot...

I used to park my 25ft Jayco 232 at the side of my house. I had 3" of room on each side of it (brick wall on one side and a 6ft fence on the other). The first time I backed it in took 1.5 hours with 2 spotters. We needed a better solution so installed a front hitch mount. With some pratice, my wife and I were able to park it in place in less than 10 minutes.
The advantages of a front mount hitch was that I could watch exactly what was going on and use the edge of the house to line the trailer up straight. Also, the steering response was immediate.
When we get our new trailer, I'm going to immediately install a front mount hitch to help us get our 37ft. beast (Coachmen 312) in to tight campground spots.
