There are two answers for getting trailers like this into a garage. One is, as you mentioned, the pintle hook on the front of the vehicle. I always installed one on the front of my MRTs when I was in the military, and have the receiver on the front of the old Ford for my home use. Amazing how accurately you can push a behicle onto a trailer using the front hitch and an A-frame.
The second method is one we used with the articulated refuelling tenders. You knock a second garage door into the back of the garage so you can drive through. Of course, you may have to get inventive with the better half trying to explain the neccessity of that one, especially after having installed that garage door opener.
Great job on the Bofors, by the way. Now what are you going to do for an encore?
