The right turn in the pic below does not look difficult in the light of day - but it was dark, no street lights and the RV was 37' long. I cut way to close to that pipe rail and the pipe post (red X) raked/scratched the skirt from the door back to the tire. $3500 to fix it. If I had just swung out 12" more I would have missed the pipe. That is how I learned wide turns for long rigs.

Sorry you had to learn that lesson the hard way. I learned long ago to never be timid swinging wide for right hand turns even when pulling onto a four lane. Doesn't bother me one bit to wait on traffic and pull partially into the oncoming lane if conditions dictate doing so.
