I'm dealing on a DADP 43' Only storage unit I've found with tall door has, about a 49' drive way between buildings. How difficult is it, to get turned 90 drgrees to get in the door? Not much room to work with.

not sure
but my damon i can pull up in my street that's barley 18 feet wide
cut the wheels hard over and back up to a 90 and roll in under the port pretty easy and no back and forth.
my driveway is 20 feet long so i guess i am using about 40 feet to turn 90??
i would go drive your expected new toy and try it.

How 'bout duplicating the dimensions on a parking lot or if the coach is at a dealers lot use it. See if you can make the turns.

Set up some soccer cones to the correct measurements in the dealer's parking lot and try it.

Does the coach have a lifting tag axle? That affects turning radius.

It would be close. You'd probably have to back in. Do you have a 55 degree cut on your coach?
