I would never even consider this as it seems not a great idea but here goes: WORKHOUSE 22 CHASSIS 8.1 GAS (rear drive) 04 Allegro 35DA.

The city I live in has rules as to parking an RV. 2 people complained about RV's.... 45 showed up to oppose ordinance. It passed anyway. 2 people out of a population of 30,000.

I lost my parking because the RV, parked on my property, can be seen from the street. Another nearby city does not care if it can be seen as long as you pay them a permission fee.

I have one location ;eft but I can not drive directly to it as the turn is too tight. I can get IN at a 45 degree angle. If I could lift up the rear end I could move THE REAR enough (5 or 10 feet) and then drive forward.

IF THE WHEELS WERE NOT ON THE GROUND and a form of CASTOR WHEELS were supporting the weight I could use an electric trailer mover to slide it the 10 feet. Then drive to the available legal space.

Assume LEVEL ASPHALT. One person in drivers seat as my brake buddy.

CASTORING WHEELS connected to 2 hitch receivers PLACED AT CORNERS which are seriously attached to the frame AND a 3rd CASTORING WHEEL in the exisiting receiver. REAR wheels now off the ground.

I would like to think 3 castoring steel wheels (properly attached) would do no damage to the RV for this 10 foot move.

I would like to get some opinions not as to what I want to do but opinions if doing what I suggest would damage the RV.

It certainly could be done, but it may cost as much as your MH. I'd like to see pictures of the problem and then the solution. After you have the rear wheels off the ground, how were you going to move it?

I'd build the biggest, ugliest barn allowed by law on my property, paint it an awful color, then park my RV in it.

Anderson2624, It could be that your motorhome situation may be grandfathered into present law. The City of Orange,CA passed such a ordinance a number of years ago. I took all of my previous registration papers on the motorhome to the city council meeting. I told them I had a motorhome parked in my driveway long before they initiated the new ordinance. They said my motorhome was grandfathered and that the new ordinance did not pertain to me.
