Moving 294RLS a few feet

Hi All,
I hope everyone is doing great!

I need to move my 294rls, 5 feet forward on my lot. I have no room to use my truck, so I am looking for an ideas aside from a powered trailer dolly.

I don't have room to winch it, or use a come-along system. Its quite the tight spot, but would make a world of difference in utilizing the trailer.

Any ideas? I have seen powered Dolly's for sale, but find I can't justify the cost to simply move 5 feet and have to resell at a loss.

Thanks in advance!!

Is it possible that any of the devices you don't want to buy are available to rent? Home Depot and Lowes, among other places may have rentals available?

Post a picture of the area around the trailer.. you could use a comalong and a boat anchor if you wanted to get creative ... off-road jeep guys use something like that when they get stuck with no trees around.

Or you could jack up the trailer whees and build a little ramp under the tires and use a floor jack under the trailer tongue might have to do it a few times to scoot it along the five feet

Good idea, here are some pics for reference.

Sorry not the greatest, but literally what is in screenshot is mine and anything outside that is the neighbourhood lot.

The trailer is actually 90 degrees counterclockwise now facing the hill and needs to be 5 ft closer to the hill.

Is there a marina close by? Perhaps they have a forklift or small tractor they use to move trailers around the boatyard and could help you out for a reasonable fee. If not call Jamie Davis Towing. He can move anything 5 ft. Doesn’t matter where it’s located
