Can some one point me the way

[tmaken2157]

I remember seeing it some where here. Its a calculation on how close the trailer can be to the car before the car hits it in a tight turn, is it half the width of the car?

yeah I know,sometimes the obvious escapes me, thanks

I don't think it is a fixed number, too many variables, i.e. how far does the receiver drawbar combination stick out and will you be off road with a greater angle between Tow Vehicle and trailer. Simple solution, take a string tied to the trailer ball extend back/up/around and add a fudge factor. On top of this realize the TV you have today will not be the TV you have in the future.
