Bus pointing slightly uphill, exit to property is opposite to where bus is pointing, I feel the only solution is to winch forward, towing will create a bigger mess me thinks.
Will discuss options with my mate, owner of property.

Re: Self Isolation
I think you're right.
One option might be to disconnect the trailer and see if you can get the bus out. Then winch the trailer backwards..... the trouble is you're going further down hill.
Trying to turn everything 180* while trying to go up hill will be challenging.

Re: Self Isolation
"tanks" here---Peter,
In the 'Old-Days' in the army we used a WLA Harley Davidson to tow Dodge and Ford 3 tonners around the transport lines, and even the occasional 6 wheel GMC's. (it didn't do the clutch any good but it got the 3 tonner moving).
THE "INDIAN" MIGHT TOW THE BUS.
Keith :lol:

I'm now 87 years old, having experienced another birthday, and I'm still living in WA, single (gave up looking), white hair, no teeth, no money, no worries.
I plan to have another birthday next year.

Re: Self Isolation
Back to the isolation bit, yesterday afternoon as a member of the Camp oven forum run by Derek I took part in a Camp Oven Gathering from home.
Started at around 3pm and you posted recipe, photos and comments on the web site. Because of the different weather ther were many types of cooking being done, heat beads, gas, BBQ and oven.
Main thing being although many miles apart the members were together enjoying what they like doing.
If you have internet you can participate in many activities or dress up in your drive way. Or do it the old fashion way and pick up the phone and call a friend.
Stay safe and have a great Sunday cheers Robert
