    I want one of those. I'll feel real safe. Even in downtown L.A. :)

    Just inside that entrance is the right hand turn on the satellite view.
    Typical subdivision street with curbs on both sides, and the trailer is still partially in the entrance so you can’t cheat to the left.
    Overinflated the front so the bumper would clear the curb, dump the back axle on the trailer, pull the steer tires up to the curb, three point jiggle, and when the trailer tires got to the curb, drop the rear axle again. Only the outside tire was up on the curb. :(
    I hate doing that, but at least I was able get the tires square with the curb, and not still pivoting.

    Should have stopped right there and told them to either widen the entrance, or come get the stuff right there. :)

    If I go in there again, I’ll go in the exit side of that entrance.
    I’ll be able to stay off the curb that way.
    I just hope some rich guy in his Lamborghini has to wait while I do it. :D

    Now that you know how easy it is to get in and out the next time you go you’ll be able to make an offer on that house :p
