[QUOTE="John6185, post: 2646477, member: 25679"] bought this little T@B trailer and live in an HOA neighborhood-can't keep the trailer in the drive. The manufacturer says it can be stored in a garage-ha! It was too tall. I bought some of those dollies from a large company that sells nothing but Chinese tools (HF) and took the tires of the trailer off because the height of the garage door is not high enough so I put the cheap dollies under the frame-no luck, it still wouldn't fit through the door of the garage. So then I put the dollies under each hub and finally got it in the garage only after taking the top weather seal off the garage entry.
