In short, we're owners of an 8-year-old Belgian draft cross horse, who also is a chestnut mare. Yes, she has a mind of her own. But we are really close to purchasing a gooseneck trailer to cart her to shows. I've never towed a gooseneck before, only bass/fishing boats, and that was 20 years ago. I'm curious to know everyone's experience towing horse trailers, specifically goosenecks. Here's some of the questions I have:
- I have the factory gooseneck puck system in the bed. I also have the 6'4" bed. Is it better to get the standard hitch ball that drops into the center puck or an offset hitch ball that sits maybe 4-6" back? I'm just concerned with back window clearance, but I think that will only come into play for jacknife and you'd have to not be paying attention to really do that.
- Siderail clearance, will that be an issue?
- General driving characteristics and things to watch out for
We live in eastern PA and the trailer we are looking at resides in MD, right past Newark, DE. So I will be coming home 95, 495, Blue Route and 476 Turnpike, so some busier roads to deal with. Thank you all for your help and insight!
