ependydad...Doug 176 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I feel like this is the right thread to share this now. My first time parking at a storage lot took 50 (yes, fifty) minutes and 3 complete pull outs and startovers. The parking is simple and an ideal setup- angled spots, driver's side backing, and plenty of space in front of you. Here's the layout: I let my buddy film it for prosperity. He setup his phone to take time lapse photos every 5 seconds or so. That 50 minutes compressed down to about 19 seconds, so you don't get the full pain of the experience. http://youtu.be/2k57p1WonJQ As it stands, we're in the lot, unhitched, and parked in 5-6 minutes now. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You had two RVs that you didn't want to hit...haha :) That guy, I agree with Ray...if it was too tight (maybe, maybe not) I was wondering why he didn't back up. Then again, I don't think he had anyone else with him, so maybe he didn't feel comfortable doing that on his own in traffic; I can see that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigTom 76 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I think he needs to learn how to back a trailer. He had several times where he was 1/2 way around and did not finish the turn There was also a drive in he could have used for more room if needed that he didn't use.

caveat lector 181 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Watching that reminds of sitting at a boat ramp watching the Sat. show!!!Brutal days. At the end of a long day of boating, putting a 25 foot tri toon on a trailer was a drag. The public access I had to use was right on a nice cross current. Throw in a breeze whipping through the cove, and let the profanity fly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Watching that reminds of sitting at a boat ramp watching the Sat. show!!!We keep our boat at the marina in a slip. Our slip is right by the ramp. I love coming in late in the afternoon and just watching the people trying to first back their trailer and then watching them try to load their boat. And if we are luck we get to watch a newbie drag their lower unit on the concrete as they pull it out. That noise is worse then someone running their fingernails across a chalkboard. Oh the stories I could tell. God times. Good times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haha... see, the first time I watched this video I kept saying, "Good thing he's not at the Fort. While a Fiend may have (eventually) helped him...I bet they'd bring out their chairs and watch for a while first". Guess I wasn't too far off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
