    You have seen mine before, but others on this site have not. I love my gooseneck, would not trade it for anything, other than a bigger one. My only regret it that I did not buy a 40' trailer, for two rigs and a bigger camper.

    Here is a picture of my setup.

    It's a 20' bed with 5' of dovetail.

    MTMike,

    Thanks for the compliment, it's much easier to use when it's wheeling time, easy to camp etc..

    It does come with it's drawbacks, if you just want to help a friend out, it's a real pain in the a$$ to hookup and help out. Must drag the whole thing to where ever you are going.

    But as for the camping/wheeling, it's a blast.

    Rob

    Then you should just swap trailers with me Rob. Very easy to hook to and go. I'll just have to live with the problems so you don't have to. Just the kind of guy I am... rotfl

    Very Funny Russ!! rotfl rotfl rotfl I would swap with you if you had a 40' er. I like my small gooseneck, but for as big of a pain as it is, I should have got a 40'er. Hell I can't store it at my house, I have to store it at my office. Real pain for the quick day runs to TM.

    Gota drive to the office to hookup and then back to the office to drop off. If I leave it in the street more than a night, I get the nasty gram from the HOA.:mad:

    I would have sworn I already replied to this. :(

    Anyway, 18' tandem axle 7k "car trailer" built with channel iron, much better than most of the "cheap" car trailers. Removeable fenders, hidden ramps, solid tie-down points tied solidly into the frame, spare tire mount, soon to be "tow gear box" on the tongue and complete rewire with "conduit" since the wiring keeps getting hashed trying to get to the trail heads...
