    Currently have an 18ft'er w/drive over fenders that I used with my K5. It's gone now and I have a racve car and my pro-touring project chevelle. Thinking about swapping over to a 34 or 38ft gooseneck.
    Any recommendations as for trailer brand, 5th wheel receiver or anything to do with towing a gooseneck??
    Only downside to my setup is that it's an 05 Ram w/auto trans so no exhaust brake is available. It won't be a big deal cause by the time I really need to haul 2 cars on it we will most likely be living in Ohio where it's flat

    thanks

    love my Kaufman trailer out of kaufman texas. 32 foot GN. only thing i advise is electric jacks....

    get a good brake controller and brakes on all 3 axles if you get a tri setup.

    electric over hydraulic disks could be an expensive but well worth it upgrade as well.

    I think that Grant will agree with me on this as well but I would recomend the B&W Turnover Gooseneck Hitch. I have looked at them for future use and am very impressed with their design. A Good Brake controller would be either the Jordan Brakesmart or the Tekonsha Prodigy.
