I'm moving to a new house in a months time and have a little problem with where i am going to park my van. The Double Driveway is very steep(downhill away from house)and im not even sure if i can back it up the drive without bottoming out, but ill deal with that when i get there. I have a 17 foot dual axle pop top coromal. Unfortunately offstreet parking is impossible, only have a little patch of grass out front which wont accomodate the van and i want it parked at home and not in storage.
I have an idea of dynabolting two strong permanent right angle brackets to the driveway which will be in enough so the van tyres won't run over them and then low enough so the van underbody won't touch the brackets.
Then i would throw the van a bit further back so i could slide a sleeper(on it's side) across the brackets to rest on which will inturn rest the wheels on so incase the brakes fail , there would be no way the wheels would go over the sleeper and the van would just be resting on the sleeper. I have a bit of room infront of the tyres for resting something there.
I'm doing this purely for safety reasons, so i don't want the neighbours to see they have a new van parked through there garage. I know the brackets will be permanent, but that's ok as they will be out of sight untill we go on a holiday trip and then i'll stick something over them so no one injures themselves when the van is not there.
Hoping someone has been in a similar situation to me and could share there ideas, would be great.
Thx
