It might take a couple times to get it down pat, but that should be pretty easy. My truck is 20 feet long and my trailer is about 35 feet long. Our driveway is 10 feet wide, trailer is 8 feet wide. Our roadway is about 25 feet wide and my neighbors mailbox is directly in front of my driveway.
Oh, did I mention my driveway is pretty steep too? Its kind of hard to explain HOW to best maneuver to back in though...
I drive as close to my driveway as I can, then start to turn away from my driveway after I pass it. That swings the tail end of the trailer in that direction and makes it easier to get started. Then you just back and turn and back and turn. If need be, pull forward and re-adjust. You have a driveway TWICE as wide as mine, it should be a piece of cake after you have done it once or twice. Just make sure you have a trustworthy set of eyes outside the vehicle to make sure you don't hit anything or run off the road!!!
