Just had to post pics of DH backing the 5vr into our back yard. Yeah, I think he actually could thread a camel thru the eye of a needle. It was hard the first couple of months, learning how to get it thru the gate, but DH has fully mastered the process and has even backed it into the yard in the dark. Just had to brag on him!! 
This last pic, you can see how much clearance we have between the trailer and the corner of our house, for access to our back yard.
But it's all worth while to enjoy this:

First few times backing it in, I thought we'd end up in divorce court, but I told DH we just needed to go camping more often so he could get lots of practice. He's been very happy to oblige!

Might want to consider painting the side of the top horizontal pipe of the fence red
or place foam colored noodles on it to make it more visible and one on the corner
edge of the house too making everything highly visible in the mirrors no matter
where the sun is shinning. Just a safety thought.

Fantastic job. When we use to come home after a camping trip our neighbors would get their chairs out to watch the entertainment as I backed the 5th wheel in. So, when DW said she wanted a MH, I was glad to oblige.
