Gooseneck trailer tips

Can I be first in line to buy it for 10 cents on the dollar when you decide it is too big ?

It may be one of your options but I would get a third axle, and get brakes on all the axles not just two.

The other thing is get e track (thats what we call it) along the front and some of the sides, nice to strap tool boxes or whatever to the sides or front.

Make sure the gas tank filler for the gen is not in a hard place to get and on the driver side, and that when filling its got a nice flow to it.

Flush lights on the side are nice then when you look in your rear view you dont see lights at night

as far as lights just make sure you can get to them have had some traielrs in the past were it would take a hour to change the bulb

We also use the goodyear G rated tire and steel wheels, and have two spares. The tires are great and you have to use a wheel that can handle 100+ psi

I also see that people are talking about a big truck, NO we have a FL 70 and a F450 and the 450 is just so much simpler and you can actually drive it around. But if you wan to buy a FL70 toter home and 44 footer then I got one for you!

What about a driver side exit door?

What are you hauling just show car? I dont think the living 1/4's are needed unless you are racing or going to stay in it at shows etc.

He has a '32 and '37 that he wants to haul around...not sure if the '56 will be in the mix as well?

Well don't ask me how but the legal limit is 65 ft. We were 64'10".

And if my trailer was a 2 axle I would not need a non commercial CDL. With the triple 7k axles it puts the trailer over the GVWR and requires me to have an A class license. And legally I'm supposed to have a CDL to just drive my F-450 down the highway.

Apparently Jerry Brown is looking to me to pull California out of this budget crisis single handedly.

Greg,

I can guarantee you wont go wrong with ATC. I personally own 3 of there all aluminum trailers, smallest being a custom fitted 16' I opt to use on the job sites as my office once the first scratch/bent fender got on it, lol, a 24 and 26' Although mine are not gooseneck type the "fit and finish" is the best Ive ever had out of multiple brands over the years. Plus there not to far away so I was able to buy direct. Ive always heard good things about Renegade too but I never see them being pulled out here in the midwest.
Bare in mind though if you have to replace a fender skirt it will set u back almost 500 per side (dont let others back up your trailers)

ATC- look at the cost of there cabinets and accessories. They are priced much lower than others if you decide to upgrade your package down the line. Have you checked out there Silver series ? the way they do the bottom corners are sweet and the paint schemes will definitely put you in as a "baller" like Rodger HA

Are you sure your not trying to get Greg to build a disco dance floor

Lots of guys have gooseneck trailers but so far I haven't had any luck finding someone with living quarters in one.

A baller like yourself needs to showoff that fancy interior. Clearview ATC trailer? Not sure about the water closet though!
