Car port too flimsy to snatch block and winch. A big tree around?. . . Or untie it put it on the car and do some circle work. Will be off in no time! ! !

Lift the drawbar of the bottom trailer up and the one on top should roll off the back?

The one on top is a timber trailer so dont want to be too rough with it.

No big trees around and the carport will not cope.

Bloody cold and pissing down with rain.

Cant believe i forgot that i had to take my gear back too toorak tomorrow.

Don't interfere with
mating trailers. The
male might get a
bit stroppy if you
try to uncouple him.

Leave it there... Gives you 2 trailers worth of room to work with....

Are you able to
hook the bottom
trailer to a car
with a towball and just
tie the top trailer to
yours and gently
tow it off?

You will have to position
some sort of a stop
so it doesn't keep
going and ramming your vehicle.
though.

remove the jockey wheel off the bottom trailer and drop it to the ground, chock the wheels. You would near on hook the top trailer up to your car at that point and using a couple of pieces of 4x2 make some ramps and tow it off front ways. if you need to tie the back of the bottom trailer to your carport behind just so it doesnt roll forward.

Firstly that tree is not across the road and its not that big.

No mark the crane is no longer here.

I will try darrens suggestion tomorrow morning if it has actually stopped raining.

Well I am sitting with Alexander watching him have some cereal.... then looking outside it is worse than it was yesterday so gardening is not an option so busting my butt to get a trailer off is also not a priority.

There ya go !!!

I notice you have a few weeds growing through the gravel there, you should get a gardener around to sort that out.

How about a brick........ they have been sprayed smarty pants along with all my lawn so in another month my place is going to look like shit, all part of the master plan.

Whats with the second trailer? You going B Double style?
Actually wish we could do that. Then I could take the camper and a trailer to collect fire wood. Hmm dual cab conversion maybe? Like the one we saw at JPC's today. Nice...

It is legal if you get the trailers engineered and a Heavy Combo licence.

No silly I am re-doing my lawn to Kikuyu... I have winter grass and it gets weeds non stop and looks like shite in summer.

All part of the master plan of being rid of this god forsaken place.
