Easy...very easy since you can turn a little short on the driveway apron and the go through the gates.

No problem.

Keep in mind that a 35' MH has a wheelbase that is much shorter than 35'

MY 335 (34' 11" LONG ) F-53 is a 17 foot wheelbase.

Yeah, my only big concern would be tail swing and that power post

...and if nothing else you are allowed, I would hope, to jockey back and forth a bit if it won’t go in the first shot. Without being there though, it looks to me as though you should be good. Use a good system with your spotter just in case something complicates it.

Can you take it to a parking lot nearby and try it with cones ?

Nowhere can I find any information of this sort on any size class, most say find a large area and measure it which is hard to do when you are trying to figure out what to buy

You should be able to call Damon or maybe Thor for the wheel cut.
DP's usually turn sharper and ours at 47 degrees is a bit more than most gassers. IFS DP's will turn as sharp as 55 degrees and maybe more.

You could possibly test drive something similar from a local dealer? Looks like you would be able to back and forth it a bit to get it just right. Coming from a travel trailer guy though (big difference, I know)
