Well, here is another view...naturally...<G>
I had a 7' wide one and then got an 8' one...There is no difference in the road clearance of the trailer. The wheels are the same distance apart, only the box is wider, as it comes out over the wheels rather than sitting inside them, and boy does it make a difference in comfort inside. Love it.
I've been on some very narrow roads and ridecamps and other than the weight of this trailer (longer), the maneuverability is the same.
Good luck and have fun shopping...
