Storing a Rebel Trailer When There is Really Not Enough Room

So here is the scenario: this brand spanking new Rebel Carson 17 foot trailer needs to get down the driveway and into the backyard.

A simple idea in theory, this logistical nightmare of a feat is not simple in practice, due to a driveway that is narrow, steep, and turns sharply, and a trailer is wide, long, and not easily maneuverable. Since the mathematical equations say it should work, the next item in line is to actually get the trailer.

With the trailer purchased, the first attempt is to pull it down the driveway behind the van. With that plan quickly aborted upon attempt, the van disconnects from the trailer and pulls down the driveway, leaving the trailer perched at the top of the driveway's decline. There is no turning back now - the driveway needs to be clear and the trailer needs to be out of sight from the street, so the trailer must find a way down the daunting driveway.

A borrowed motorized trailer mover (1) - underpowered, bent up, unstable, underbuilt for the occasion and sketchy - is the only tool available to do the job. A custom -built one is in the making, but remember - the trailer needs to be downstairs now! With the trailer brakes hooked up to the barely-adequate machine, the descent begins.
There is no room for error and the chance of the trailer plowing over the mover is likely, as big things tend to gain momentum down a slope in a split second, it seems, and even with brakes locked up, the trailer could skid its way right into the garage, taking the mover and surrounding people with it.

The trailer is inched down the slope slowly, chalked and reassessed even few inches. However, the mover begins to fold under the pressure of needing to turn the trailer so sharply while still going downhill. The trailer does not respond, and instead continues on a straight path straight towards the garage. The mover will not turn the trailer, so the project halts. It is clearly too close to the garage now (2).

Thankfully, the van is downstairs. The idea is to hitch the trailer up to the van at this point. The angle is not right, forcing the mover to be needed one more time to rotate the trailer a few more sketchy inches (3). Attempt number 2 is successful at attaching the trailer and van (4), and at least the van can now force the trailer to swing around the corner. However, upon beginning to unchalk the trailer, the next problem arises (5) - the trailer is about to hit the van. If the final inside wheel is unchalked, it will definitely hit, as the gap has narrowed to about a quarter inch. The only solution is to keep the trailer chalked on the inside and apply some throttle to separate the trailer and van, which works! Some rotation begins, taking pressure off the inside chalk, which is then removed. Whew!

Slowly but surely, things are looking up, until it becomes unclear as to if the trailer is going to clear the roof (6). The estimation is no, so the roof headboard is successfully removed as a precaution (7). The clearance is close, within an inch even with the modification, but it works! The trailer clears everything, and, although the project is not complete, the hard part is done (8). The van now disconnects from the trailer, and the mover takes over, now that the trailer is on the flats, to finish the job and tuck the trailer into its proper location (9). Tailgate party begins (10). At this point, until the proper mover is constructed, there is no way this trailer can get out of the backyard.
