Turning a FW around in a Culdesac
We keep our FW in a storage area about 5 mi from our house. It's not terrible, but loading for trips, water etc, gets to be a bit of a pain. It would certainly be easier to bring to the house to load....

FYI - measured the culdesac, it's 52' dia. The specs for the turning radius for my truck says 28'.
Do you think you could swing the overhang above the curb? I think it would be doable with that.
Actually I hadn't thought much about tail swing. My plan was to skirt as far out as I could, but there are mailboxes. My thinking was the FW will track inside the truck's path and not have to worry about tail swing. Meaning, the truck will follow the outside path as far out as I can to minimize the stress on the FW and it will track on the inside, eliminating any risk of tail swing into a mail box. There is no center circle/curb in the culdesac - it's just a wide open circle. Does that mean I will need to track a few feet inside the circumference? This is starting to sounds more complicated than backing down the street.
