I have a 97 skeeter 202 on a dual axle trailer. To my best measuring it is 26ft on the trailer. My new house has a garage that is 24ft long. It is a bear trying to maneuver the dual axle trailer into the garage to make it fit. I have to back the trailer at an angle and then push the tongue of the trailer to the side to make it fit. This process, like I said, is a bear! Are there any tricks to this to make the job any easier?
I'm always moving trailers around my yard. I've found that the "trailer dolly" that is kind of like a hand truck with a ball on top is great. I keep the tires at max inflation on the dolly AND the trailer I'm moving for less rolling resistance.
If it doesnt have wheels, swim, or run naked in the woods, I don\'t know anything about it.

Do a search on Go Jaks. One under each front tire, and it will push like a single axle. I back in at an angle, unhook, put on the Go Jaks, and it pushes back to 45 degrees with ease.
How do the go-jacks work? What style d you have?
I have a single axel and it is a pain also trying to push in the corner of the garage.
How good do the go jacks role they look like a good thing to use.

I found a cheaper version of lo-jacks on etoolcart.com, $95 dollars a piece, they work great I went last weekend and slid the jacks up under the front axle and it pushed the trailer around like a dream. Definitley would recommend it to other people $200 is better then a new garage or new trailer!!!!!!!!
I just use my big floor jack under the back axle.

This is the style I use http://www.amazon.com/Unitec-5...MUAW6
Here is a video showing how they work. The video shows the process on an auto, but it works exactly the same on your trailer. http://video.google.com/videop...86323
Basically it turns your tandem axle into a single therefore allowing you to push it by hand. I have the Go Jaks 5000 and they roll like nobody's business. My garage floor is super smooth, but as you can see in the video, towing companies use them all the time on streets. I can have both of them under the wheels, locked, and tires off the ground in less than 2 minutes. Honestly, they are one of the best investments I've ever made.
