You'll have ta find an empty city block to park that rig. And don't forget to pay attention to bridge sign clearance heights.

I doubt the setup is very much longer on the overall length than it was with the travel trailer.

How much fun is it to back into your yard?

It is true, when hitched up, the overall length is about the same.

It is much harder to back through the gate. I need practice.

Practice needs to come first. Otherwise I might get an unplanned bigger gate.

Well, somewhat good news. Using a jack adapter that my uncle gave me for my birthday (forgot I had it), we now have it held in place,but it's time to shower, shave,and get the uniform on. Got a long shift tonight.

The adapter goes where the floor jack saddle goes, and it is designed for ATV's, motorcycle's, and transmissions. Tomorrow, we will bolt it up.

Didn't feel it here.

There are dozens of quakes every month in CA, most are 2 or less.
