Default Measuring Turning Radius

Just returned from a trip to Colorado, New Mexico, and TEXAS- but without the trailer. Long story why that was so I wont tell it, but, part of Texas trip was to check status on access onto my property near fort Davis. Not finished.... .....sigh. But, the guy who is supposed to be leveling a pad asked me what my turning radius is with the trailer and truck. I have no idea. How would you all measure that? Find a Big parking lot and drag a piece of chalk? Anxious for suggestions.

Thanks for that, Ruben. Yes- things seem to move slower in WEST TEXAS, at least when one is not around to check on things. Its been a year since I put down the down payment- and to finish cant be more than two days work. I guess he knows its not real easy for me to "drop in" from Wisconsin.
But- could end up as a pretty camping spot don't you think? Still- its technically a four wheel road up there- the three inches of spacer I added on the bottom of the trailer may come in handy. The access onto the property is there- he just needs to level a pad and a turn-around for me.

Very nice, Rick! Looks similar to our southern California mountains. But hey, don't park on that cactus!
