Anyone use a gooseneck rear load/unload trailer

[yammi4ever]

I am looking at a 34 foot goosneck enclosed trailer in order to haul 5 or 6 sleds, but cannot decide if it would be too much of a pain not having a drive in and out trailer. Is it really that big of a deal or should I keep my 4 place drive in out. I have reverse, so no biggie, but several of my ridding buds don't. We don't do too much if any trailer in and out type of stuff, just get there unload ride and come home.

Would love to hear from those of you who might be using this type of trailer. The price seems pretty good, so I thought I should check.

Thanks,

I have one that I built (don't have any pics handy) I made a 4' ramp door in the left front corner. My 01 rmk w/159 track barely makes the corner. The rest of the guys have reverse and just back them off. If you have a couple of guys it's easy to drag them off. The fifth wheel trailer pulls like a dream, plus you get lots of storage area above the hitch that's nice and dry.

Use a gooseneck also and love it, its not to bad at all pullin the sleds out on ply-wood, and if you have reverse its a breeze as long as they are not frozen to the floor... but yes love the extra storage over the neck.

Yep I have a gooseneck and I love this trailer. All of our sleds have reverse or you just drag them out backwards if you don't want the exhaust fumes in your bedroom. Low profile ramp and lots of room for STUFF! I get a big trailer with all of the comforts and mechanicals that pulls awesome and is the total length of a itty bitty four place girlie man trailer. If you have the rig that can handle the tow it's the only way to go.

I have a 39 foot haulmark drive on / drive off and we find it easyer to push them out the back then to move things up front around to drive off .

So your the one ive seen with the gooseneck around cottonwood.

Plus the trailers are way better to pull with more weight on the drivers. I use a sled dolly to unload. No biggie.

You guys have convinced me, now can you convince my wife

had this 38' custom built for me they pull so much better than a bumper hitch just starting to finish out the inside

I saw Jerod Sessions in May. It was LONG.
I think he had at least 6 sleds in it.

And a kitchen. And a shop. And a freakin concert hall.

^^^Looks like you guys ran out of snow!^^^

That was May 15th @ Surveyor. We had to shuttle sleds from his trailer about 2 miles up to the snow. LOL

We still rode up there a month later than that. June 18th.

true that to all the comments, a gooseneck pulls so much nicer than a bumper pull you'll never want to go back once you have one. x2 to the guy who said he uses a sled dolly to pull the sleds out. we have 2 guys that have reverse and we put them in on the side so they can back out and then we use the dolly for the rest. i actually like to unload with a dolly better, i always feel like i'm putting alot of excess wear on my belt hamming on it before the engine is totally warm.
