What size trailer does everyone have?
I have a 24' gooseneck and I'm finding out I should have got a longer one since I can only trailer one of my rigs at a time and not both. Didn't plan on hauling both when I bought it and now there have been several times that i have wanted to take both the toy and the chevy.

a friend of mine did something wierd with his trailer, he rigged up a system that lifted part of one vehicle over the other via a winch.....

I have an 18'. I have towed the same rig on a 16' as well as mine with the same tow rig and it's interesting just how much difference there is. I definately like length when it comes to trailers. Been throwing around the idea of a 32' Goose to haul my dad's FJ 55 and my stretched FJ 40.

my tires are roughly only 3" on the trailer, both sides.

14'long x about 8 feet wide deck (wraps around the fenders)  the tounge sticks out another 5 feet.  i plan to add some deck to it on the front.  my truck just barely fits on it.

16' or 14' I can't remember but it works and I'm hoping to either build or buy a inclosed someday.  Gotta fit 2 rigs someday.  The fiancee wants to wheel her own rig.

Mine is a 20' sprayed with Rhino lining. The extra few feet of length really is nice so you can fit your rig and a ton of other junk like spare parts on it in front or behind the truck. I think it pulls nicer also. I haggled with the guy and got the 20' with 10000lb axles for the price of the 18' with lighter 7500 axles.
If you still have control you aren't going fast enough
