<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Jeff, thanks for the reply. I do
have one of the wheeled dollies. The problem is with a dual axle
trailer, (and mine is pretty heavy) there is no hope at all to turn it
by hand. I use a hitch ball mounted on the end of the forklift tine
to push the trailer in place.<br>

Trailer storage idea</font>

I don't know the details of how the trailer is maneuvered with the<br>
forklift, but we had a "walker" for our travel trailer to fit
it into<br>
a tight storage spot. I can't find a picture, but it was like two<br>
upside-down soup bowls connected on the top (bottom of the "bowl")
by<br>
square tubing. In the middle of the square tubing was a hitch ball.<br>
A long pole fit in one end of the tubing. By manipulating the pole,<br>
you could walk the two bowl "feet" and maneuver the trailer.<br>
<br>
And then there's the two-wheel gadgets, like this:<br>

Still need to go to all that trouble? Can you stick one corner where<br>
it will end up, put a jack stand under it, and use a jack on the other<br>
end to swing it in place?<br>
