RE: [RC] Ideal Gooseneck LQ size? - Sheila A. Walsh
Barbara,
I don’t have LQ, yet, but may I
suggest that you keep that tagalong, if at all possible? I have many
friends that have LQ trailers and it’s a hassle to go for a training ride
gathering with it.
I can’t wait to get an LQ, too,
someday. I do the struggle with taking a camper on and off and you are
right, that tailgate seems to get more and more awkward (sp?). However,
it is easier to maneuver. And I love my Trails West 3 horse slant; so do
my buddies……they hop right in.
I can’t wait to read the responses
of experience with LQs. How about an RV to pull that tagalong? That
seems interesting, too.
My first experience driving an 8’wide
x 35’ long+ RV was to drive the rented one for the Rojeks from RobiePark
to Forest Hill! What a thrill!!!
Thanks,
Sheila

size?
Hi all,
Now, I am looking for advice. I have just retired my 2003 Yukon from trailer duty.
Pulled out the brake controller yesterday to guarantee it. I got a one-ton
dually, so can now “graduate” to a gooseneck with LQ (after much contemplation
eliminated camper/truck combo mostly because I cannot manage the tail gate of
the truck myself and would want use of the truck as a truck , too). I will be
replacing my beloved 2 horse slant 2003 Trails West with something. I am in the
WESTERN region, so you know what sorts of tight campsites and/or hairpin turns
into camps we have out here. What is the group recommendations on the maximum
box-length I should get for the trailer portion? Is getting a Mid-Tack out of
the question because of the added length? I plan on a three horse, with stud
wall if not a mid-tack. But…what amount of space does that leave for the
LQ part? All tips welcome!!!
