Turning radius calculator
Does anyone know of an on line calculator for calculating 360 degree turning radius's for a truck and trailer given the length etc.? My current house has 3 bay area for parking campers, boats etc. The old farmer used it for his equipment. When coming down the driveway you have to come down the side and around the back then back into the bays. When I put my fence in I was not thinking about how much space would be needed for longer trailers etc.
Now I need to move my fence back to make room to come in, pull straight and back in. Or come in and jack knife in. Also need enough to do a 180 when pulling out.
Ideally I would make enough room to do a 360. curb to curb. ( If I have it )
Thanks

Too many variables for a simple calculator. Truck wheelbase, full lock turning angle, trailer length, bumper pull or goose neck/5th wheel, length to trailer axle, etc. I think you would be best off to just try it and see how much room it takes.
