[QUOTE="ToledoDan, post: 743724, member: 13704"] i went from a 16ft car hauler to a 30ft deckover gooseneck in Nov 18 due to the width of building a rockwell rig + needing to put a 4seat RZR and two dirtbikes on a trailer. When we talk about maneuverability, the one thing I think about is our back lot at work is pretty tight, and turning the 30ft gooseneck around back there by myself was definetely much easier with being concerned with pinching something. As far as ride is concerned, i think the gooseneck is just a little smoother and stable at highway speeds, but my 16ft bumper pull was not 14,000lbs+ loaded. I will say this about the 16ft carhauler is that is was MUCH easier to snake into the spot next to my garage. that may not be a problem though for you depending on your property layout. Hooking to the 16ft to go to Home Depot and rolling was more convenient, but i replaced the 16ft with a 5x10 for that kind of stuff. One other thing i learned as I was researching goosenecks and maybe i am the only dummy that did not know this so I'll put it out there for those that are as ignorant as me...open goosenecks manufacture's list their length based on available deck space. Closed goosenecks are listed from nose to tail. Just keep that in mind when surfing the interweb if you are seeking an enclosed gooseneck. I love the idea of a crawler hauler since the night before I leave is always filled with rounding up bedding/tent/chairs and other crap that could just be kept in a camper. If you got to load that camper into the bed of a pick-up and unload it, all your doing is changing one task for another. i don't think that it will save any time if that is what you're after. my 2¢.
