Hi Guys,

I'm about to buy a 30 foot land yacht(A travel trailer). I can fairly easily backup my C250 to the back of my house from an alley but it is a bit tight. Today I winterized my C250 and forgot to measure from hitch to the very end of the boat and now it's stored 1 hour away. My idea is that if I can do it with my C250 (I estimate it should be about 28.5 feet) then I should be good with a 30 foot travel trailer (same 8' width).

Could one of you gentle souls that has a C250 nearby measure from hitch to stern for me please?

Steve, if you haven't heard from someone by morning, I'll measure SL on her trailer for you. I'm not certain if a WK length will help, so let me know. I'd go now, but it's sort of monsooning right now, plus black outside, and I don't wanna.

Thanks guys. That's exactly the same length and width of the travel trailer I was looking at. I can back it up with a fair ease. Now I can get my little cabin next to the lake where my sailboat is. This should great increase the use of the sailboat.

Steve, I would think the back end the corners will be the issue
