Well here I go. I'm leaving tomorrow for several days with the travel trailer. I'm not concerned with getting it out of the driveway. I can hook up and tow it so it will clear the Lance. The challenge will be getting it back in without going through a dance of: Disconnecting the TT in the streetloading the Lance and moving it temporarily to my (very kind) neighbors drivewayhooking up the TT and putting it in the driveway loading the Lance. Here are some pictures:Wish me luck!

Depends on the Street and the room you have. That would make a big diff.. My guess from the pic the road out front is paved. Need more pics. I have been dealing with a similar issue.

I take it you don't park your daily drivers in the garage, do you?

Yay! Glad you made it back in with no issues! Now keep the confidence going and do it again soon! You'll be an old pro soon! :)

I'll settle for semi-pro and not giving the DW a coronary.

Made it back in, it ain't perfect but it'll do!

No scratches on the Lance or the TT and the garage roof is still intact.

It wasn't as difficult as I'd imagined, but maybe that's just beginners luck. Only time will tell.

I've been off HF too long, didn't even see them. Time to get the portable out. I vote hamstick dipole on a push up pole.

Once you have an eye for them, it never seems to go away.

Well I got it out with the DW only screaming occasionally, so I guess that's a good sign!

I think when I get back on Monday I'll park the TT in front of the house, have a nice nights rest and tackle getting it back in the driveway on Tuesday A.M. I did sorta remember to stop when I got the rear wheels to the street and we put down some marks there so I'm hoping with all the "hints" I can work it in without taking out either the Lance or the garage roof. We shall see.

So I guess if you live in San Diego, have a boring life or haven't had a laugh in a while you can PM me and I'll send you the address. Of course it will be adults only because of the language! :W

It's always easier to put it away when you are rested as long as the sun is not in your eyes. JMO

I don't see the problem. I could easily back it in there right around the Lance. Just make a mental note of how you pull it to get it out and then back it in just the opposite. You could also put down some marks on the driveway as you pull out for reference.

Want a challenge, back a 35' FW over 1/2 mile down a twisty narrow one lane gravel road at night without a street light in sight. Always told my wife I could back it out of any place I drove it into.
