... I'm thinking of adding some weight to the bed of the truck with some cinder blocks or sandbags for better traction.
Since you can't do anything permanent, such as pavers of any kind, I like the idea of a roll-up traction mat. Just roll it out and drive onto it, then roll it back up when your trailer is in place. In New England, folks use a length of snow fence.

OK, now somebody explain to this Florida boy what a "snow fence" is. Here is a picture of some.

Plastic might be better, since the traditional wood pickets would tend to break under the weight of the vehicle.

'Nuther idea. How about installing a hitch (or hitch receiver) on the front of your tow vehicle? With it, the weight of the engine works for you, at least if you have 4WD. Makes maneuvering a lot easier, too.

Do you have 4WD?
