Thanks so much, but it isn't that important. This began as a inquiry into whether or not there was a fairly easy way to do this kind of calculation, and, if so, could it be applied to my situation. More of a "since we're not camping at the moment, let's solve this" sort of activity.
Apparently, the answer is "yes and no." It can be done with the right software coupled with precise measurements. Or, the problem can be solved using those measurements to create a full-scale model in an empty parking lot.
Neither of these is a particularly easy solution. The easiest would be to take a day, grab a buddy, pick up the trailer (sans DW) and go see if it can be done. Might be a good opportunity to hit a CAT scale on the way. Hmmmmm ....I sense a road trip is in the offing.

Hi Teach

Already did a boots on the ground Recon of the area. My sense is the buddy you take better have a tow truck just in case. That is tight turn and those posts look very unforgiving. I actually had another motive for checking this out. I wanted to stop by the Farmers Wife down in Remington for a sandwich and maybe some soup. Turns out they closed for the entire Thanksgiving week-end.

Thanks for the second set of eyes. I did get my Sunline in there and remember getting it out was a squeaker. Fortunately, I still have my pop up for these occasions.
