Not much progress has been made on the inside this week. I got the plywood off and have some gaps to fix in the V but over all I'm satisfied with the build quality. As I said earlier I admitted defeat and ordered a trailer dolly. I really didn't want to spend the money, but it is the best cheapest solution for my parking. As you can see in these photos there is no way in hell I'd get this trailer in and out with my truck even with a front hitch. the clearances are just too tight. I'm a bit worried about the additional width of an awning to be honest.
As you can see I needed every inch available to get things lined up.
I have about 6" right now between the house and trailer. The sand bags are to add some extra tongue weight. I had traction issues with the dolly. 220lbs of extra weight around the jack fixed that.
I've got a little more room to work with on this side.
Needless to say I don't think I'll have to be too worried about theft. There's no way to get this out without totaling the trailer or significant damage to the house or deck. The ramp is even blocked on the back by the house. The side door and dolly are the only ways to access it.
