Where I store my TT in my back yard I have to go through the fence which had a solid 6" clearance on each side of the trailer. Not being really good at backing this was always very uncomfortable to do. I decided to widen the gate by 2' and here is how I did it.
I first removed the panel to the right of the right gate and concreted in a new steel post. I bolted the panel to the new post. The next job was to splice the gate with angle iron where the old hinges were. After splicing, I moved the hinges to the new location. I used a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade to cut off the old steel post. The last job was to cut the 3 fence horizontal rails at the new hinge line. I put a blade in my jigsaw that was long enough to cut the rails but not to long to hit the hinges.
This seems pretty simple but it took 2 days with letting the concrete cure. The result was well worth it.
