Parking question..

[Rick F]

Thanks for the suggestions.. As for parking it in the garage, that's out of the question.. Our garage is barely 20' long and I can't even fit my p/u truck in it let alone a trailer.. I don't mind annoying the neighbors a little as this is just what is done in the city I live in (if you've got a driveway that supports an RV or trailer, that's what people do) -- if you park it on the street I guarantee you'll have a ticket in < 1 hour (been there done that).. You're required to get permits for each occasion to park on the street with a 3 day max.. My big concern with parking in a unmonitored storage facility is regarding vandalism.. My current trailer has a broken roof vent because someone climbed up on the roof and tried to pry the vent open -- not that they could get in.. Anyway, thats the big issue and of course spending $300/quarter...

I'll checkout the frame issues with the smaller trailers.. Thanks for the headsup!

I've used a car floor jack to move the 22' Safari on level ground. Working on an incline on the other hand is unsafe,even with two people.A stationary mounted wench would work.

Sorry about the delay.

Trailer Tug Pro: The Gas Powered Trailer Mover make several gasoline engine-powered tugs for trailers. The fellow who owns the storage facility where I store my trailer has one of their tugs - he has a bunch of heavy-duty flatbed trailers himself, plus a camper trailer. It works great for unloaded flatbed trailers and for camper trailers on FLAT ground ... but my 23' Safari nearly got away from him one day on slight incline (probably not 1/4" per foot). Never again. And they cost $2.5k-$3k ... but if you've got a fat wallet and your eventual parking place is pretty flat, you might want to consider something like this.

Just posted about our new Powermover. It moved our 25' Airstream without a problem.

I should be done with the crushed concrete camper driveway soon. I will then know how the dolly handles in looser ground.

Nice looking unit. Hope it works well for you on the crushed concrete.
