Challenge to Park (or) the long truck and trailer




Hunter Clarifies:

Just to clarify. My F-250 is a crew cab short box.... so he's only 
21' long.

Oooops - sorry Hunter. I thought Bruiser was bigger; maybe will be 
when he gets his full growth <g>. Must be somebody else has the 
long box. That would be about what - an extra foot and a three 
quarters. But even your truck, coupled with your hitch and a 34 
foot Airstream would be 55 or 56 feet long, right? Now that is a 
challenge to park even in reverse, har har har. My setup with the 
31' trailer (which is actually 31'10") is 52' long. I had to back 
it a ways when the winding bush road I was following had a bridge 
washout, and it was a tad tense. Thank Harry for those pull out tow 
mirrors that can also be pushed in too.
