Our previous RV was a 2017 Laredo 330RL travel trailer - my first long-long trailer. We picked it up at a Dealership in Fort Worth late in the day and headed to The Vineyards campground in Grapevine TX. It was dark by the time we were headed to camp spot. The right turn in the pic below does not look difficult in the light of day - but it was dark, no street lights and the RV was 37' long. I cut way to close to that pipe rail and the pipe post (red X) raked/scratched the skirt from the door back to the tire. $3500 to fix it. If I had just swung out 12" more I would have missed the pipe. That is how I learned wide turns for long rigs.
