More Turning Radius questions! Horse Trailers
(OP)
I need to layout an area where horse trailers will be travelling, parking, etc.
Which standard vehicle comes closest to the largest possible trailer? I have seen many horse trailers and they can get quite large.
I'm playing right now with the AASHTO templates for WB-40, SU (single unit truck), and P-T (passenger car and trailer).
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks.

RE: More Turning Radius questions! Horse Trailers
As a civil engineer AND a horse hauler I hope you had more then this response to your question!
Many horse haulers are now using big rigs - not just a 2 horse bumper pull and truck. My trailer is a 36' on the floor gooseneck on an extened cab truck - I needed AASHTO's Exhibit 2-14 WB-15 to lay out my driveway.
There are also Motor Home/Trailer combos, as well as semi-haulers. WB-40 is probably a safe bet. You can never have too much room for turning.
Is this for a paved parking area or gravel? Show folks or a campsite??
I'd lvoe to know how it turns out!
Thank you.
