If you've got boards or legos for leveling, use those.

Make some sort of ramp to use to get up over the curb.

Watch everything under the trailer from the rear to the tires. Make sure all clears the curb. as said, use blocks of wood or the like to help gentle the curb.

What type of curbs do you have? we have curbs, but they are low and rounded. others, such as city curbs are high and squared off. these are the ones that will cause problems.

Our curbs are pretty high. I wish i had the low ramped curbs on my side of town like they do on the other. I'm worried about dragging my sewage lines on the curbs because i think they would hit before the tires get to the curb. I was just wondering what everybody else did.

I just drive over mine slowly.......my TT set low so I had to watch my sewer lines, the fiver is plenty high. Our curbs are about 5 inches high. They are straight up and down but have a slight angle back. Have been backing over them for years without problems with the trailer or trucks tires. Just be sure of clearance.

The curb at my house is angled for drainage such that...4x6 timber (from the stabilzer) are the perfect "stair step" to move from street to sidewalk. I just move the timber block after backing the TT...as we know the TT & TV wheel bases are not the same.
My TT is parked on a pad adjacent to my driveway--but the "sloping driveway cutout" does not extend to that portion of my pad...so it's all curb for my TT & back tires of my truck. Nice and easy...and never a prob!

We got the trailer home and in place today. We ended up coming from the driveway at about a 45 degree angle and going across the front of the house. It worked out pretty good. I think it would have cleared the curb ok, we actually drove the left tires over the curb. But we got her parked in her spot and didnt lose any pieces.

I have been backing mine over the curb for several years using 2 pieces of 4x4 tapered off 45 degrees with a table saw. That leaves 2 or 3 inches the tire has to climb. I have seen the curb ramps on the above link and they look like the best solution.
