Project success!

Wanted to share my success story regarding storing my 2012 22' Sport in my garage. It required a lot of planning. Airfourms was very helpful in figuring out if the project would a potential success. There were so many potential variables that could have killed the project along the way. I have a very steep driveway from street level that was nerve racking to back down initially. My garage door header needed to be raised to 9'5" to accommodate the height of the trailer (9'3"). I've got 8" one either side of the trailer and 6" inches in front and 6" behind the trailer when the garage door is shut. They only way I was able to get it in was with the help of a Powermover dolly. I owe many of you who posted about how good these dollys are my thanks. The powermover is an incredible piece of machinery. Attached are some of the photos.

Now, when you need new tires be careful and check the outside diameter or you will need to raise the header again. Nice job and a great place to keep it.
