If you have to turn around like this, your trailer is going to be pushed back some. You can damage trees, shrubbery, vehicles, whatever. In some cases, you just have to back all the way down the street you entered. Then you have to watch for cross traffic if you go through an intersection. Best not to end up like this to begin with.
