At this point...in my back yard at the city house.....is a camper trailer and my cargo trailer used for a job trailer and rendezvous gear.....have actually been keeping the rondy gear in in at all times....last couple of years.
The way the yard is set up....with trucks out of the way....I can just pull in the driveway into the garage and drop off trailer...and roll out of the way......
When unloading....depending on what trailer it is....camper can be backed into the yard.....the cargo trailer, swung around and pulled in the spot along side the garage.
DW and I can generally swing around and pull prailers into what ever position we need .....but was easier when we were 10 years younger.....LOL.
Anyway.....the cargo trailer is still loaded so is heavy....and the parking spot is slightly up hill.....real PITA for only two old people.
I need help.......and as luck would have it.....neighbor moved away, other neighbors don't want to be bothered......sooo..
Now we get to mechanical assist.
Harbor Freight had their 2500# $159 buck winch inn sale for $90 bucks....and weekly coupon flyer down to $54 bucks...

Bought their mounting plate....and added a piece of 2" angle I had in my "stuff" mounted to the plate ....with a trailer hitch ball.

Decided on this, after several idea of over engineering brackets and such......as all I want to do in pull trailer into position uphill......This can be installed and removed at the trailer hitch, latch.....so can be used in other trailers/places, as well.
