Now that we had the Avion home, it took some time to deal with getting it off the trailer and into our garage for the winter. To get it off the trailer I used an electric boat trailer winch so that I could control it going down the equipment trailer's ramps. I also attached two conventional tongue jacks with castors to the front corners of the utility trailer, so that it would have four wheels. While a little scary, this worked out well!
The next step was getting the Avion into the garage. I knew that the camper itself would clear our door, but apparently I am not so good with numbers. We ended up removing the rims from the utility trailer and tried to roll it in on the hubs, but this proved to have too much resistance. Eventually we ended up using a set of $4.- Magic Carpet Sliders under the hubs on carpet scraps while pulling with the electric winch which we now had attached to the Shasta which is deeper inside the garage. Yes our garage is pretty big, that's another story maybe for a future post.
