these arent bad trailers, the finshed look just doesnt do it for me. I have seen a few here in FL in person. I am also PCSing and we are going from Jax to San Diego. I bought a 28ft horton hauler will all the bells and whistles with 7k axles for 7500. This is with 12" oc floor beams too. It should be ready for me to pick up this weekend. Horton is the best quality i have ever seen in a trailer. JMO

I got bumper pull. I thought about the goose neck and your right, it does pull better but to me you get less trailer space for the price. I just got a load leveling hitch which should help me out with the weight. I also plan on buying a dually once i get to cali which will help too.

If you do get one from horton, they take about 10-15 days to build. So when you are heading back to the states just factor in that time when ordering. PM me you email address.

Thanks for all you are doing over there!

No experience with that company but we run doolittle trailers and have had really good luck with em. We have a 53' flatbed gooseneck, a 28' gooseneck enclosed, a 26' enclosed bumper pull, 26' v nose bumper pull, and a 26' tiltbed flatdeck bumper pull. The 26' tiltbed is a midsota trailer and the v nose is a cargomate and we dont like that one
