Tightest Parking Spot Ever
The tightest parking spot ever. Why would you do this? I would rent storage space before I would deal with this parking nightmare every time I returned from a trip.
I don’t know if it’s my computer but I could barely understand a third of what he says. No matter, the video speaks for itself.

Oh heck no. Props to the guy for great backing skills, but this is just nuts.
The other thing I can't fathom is how people can live with neighbors so close. I've done it but couldn't wait to get moved to the country.

I'd saw 8" off that roof overhang to the left. That would help quite a bit.

Nope, I'd find some other place to store my trailer. That's just a disaster waiting to happen. It's not "if something gets hit", it is when. Statistics are against him.

Seemed like he had it plenty off the road before he got the trailer "next to the house". Why not just back it up clear of the road and call it a day? Unless there is a HOA that restricts it? Plus, I know after traveling, the last thing I want to do when I get home is spend an hour backing the trailer into its spot. And taking the same amount of time to leave on your way to a vacation would be beyond aggravating.

He does have a pretty thick accent, but I could understand him. The music playing in the background didn't help though.
I'm amazed he does this alone with no help from a spotter. I'm curious how he looked at his driveway and said to himself, "Yea, I can fit a 5th wheel in here." I wonder what came first, the house or the RV.

I think I would build a better ramp to tilt it. I have a narrow driveway and when the elect meter sticks out and my door grab bar meet I have about 2" on each side of the motor home.

If I had to tilt my rig away from house, I diffently would looking for another parking place. It damage if he forgets to put boards down to till rig. Or trying to see if neighbor would allow the fence o be moved over a foot or so.

I wonder if this is a forum member? That is crazy tight. One little ill timed wind gust could cause some serious damage. Good backing skills though.

I think the guy did a fantastic job of backing in, but I can see that overhang getting smashed at some time. I would never attempt it, especially if tired after a long drive. BTW when we bought our house, my number one necessity was a good parking place, I would worry too much if I had to store it out of my sight.

WOW, I can't in a 25' wide place almost anymore.
He says he's done it 10 years with only one incident - didn't better man than me.
It's good not a wide-body trailer

I guess he has to pull it out to load or do anything to the inside.
