Rich,

I used to have a Class C with a 24' trailer and a trailer toad. I had the same problem as you as far as not having enough room to maneuver into the driveway with everything attached. Since the toads do not like backing up on pavement (the tires on the toad scuff really hard when the axle is in the locked position for backing), I decided to make a single wheel dolly set-up that would attach temporarily on the front of the toad.

When I would get home, I would drop the trailer in the street. So then I would remove the toad from the motorhome, put the dolly wheel on and attach a handle to the front of the toad, put the toad in the garage with ease, move the motorhome to where it needed to be and then hook my pick-up to the trailer and put it where it belonged. It was a lot of extra work, but I always felt it was worth the effort to use the toad and protect the motorhome.
