Parking Query
Hello,
I'm brand new to teardrops and towing. I'm hoping to get some advice on whether it's possible to back a trailer into my tight townhouse parking spot. I don't know anyone close to me with a teardrop or small trailer to try, but if friendly people on the internet think it might be possible, then I'll get a hitch installed and rent one to see! I've tried to make the image as close to scale as possible; my car is a Rav 4 (15' long), and the teardrop will be ~ 11' long. The parking spot is 10' wide and I have ~50' between the end of my parking spot and the house
The whole driveway/parking lot is on a slight hill down towards the cars. I'm thinking I'll drive forward down past the parking lot entrance, back into the lot, and then try to maneuver the trailer as close as I can to my spot, maybe using a trailer dolly to get it in its final position - though maybe that's not safe with the downhill slope?
I have a backup plan for a permanent storage site, but I will be doing some work on whatever teardrop I buy and would ideally be able to park it here occasionally.
Thank you for any helpful advice!
Update: thank you r/teardroptrailers! So many helpful responses. I now have the confidence to give it a try!
