A few asked about my wagon, and how I back it under the patio, a few pages back. I just refilled it yesterday morning, and remembered to grab a photo when backing it in:

Looking into the sun here, so a little hard to see in the shadows. But you can see in the second photo that it's possible to push that drawbar at a 90-degree (even more, dep. on hitch extension), to steer these wagons sideways in reverse. That's not possible with a regular single-axle trailer, the additional steering of the front axle is what makes this possible, if a bit more of a mind-F--k for those just learning it.
My only real challenge in all of this with visibility, not dexterity. The goal is putting it 1" from that window sill along the back wall, so I have maximum room between wagon and knee wall, without bumping that ancient oak window sill. But I can't see the window sill over the back of the wagon, from the driver's seat, and I usually have no spotter available. I have managed to rub paint a few times, but never more than a little paint transfer, no dents or damage.
I lay may firewood satchels open on that knee wall to load them from the wagon, before carrying it in thru that red door, to load the stoves.
