    I don't know. Did a Google image search till I found one similar. I'd guess that is 16 or 18 feet.

    If I remember tomorrow I'll get a picture of the trailer I use and measurements. I recall it being an 18 footer, but I don't know the measurement of the deck and dovetail.



    When you buy yours, I would go with 7k axles. I'd rather have too much capacity versus not enough and folding axles like horseshoes. I used to haul a 24k gooseneck. A pair of 12k axles is pretty stout. No matter what I did, I couldn't overload it.
