Bumper Pull versus Gooseneck for me
Hello, this is my first post. This forum looks like you all have a wealth of information, I'm so glad I found you! I would appreciate your input on my dilemma-I tried to be as specific as possible ...

The GN will tow nicer on the highway. The additional length of the GN will limit where you can tow it off road and which spots you select in campgrounds. There are some state parks in my area that are tight for anything being towed over 25' due to tight narrow loops that are defined by trees and rocks.
For driveability, a 30'gooseneck trailer is easier to tow, turn and back, than a 30' bumper pull, is that correct?
The RV manufacturers are way ahead of the horse trailer campers in efficiency. The horse trailers are still using old style RV products. They look luxurious but don't use the space as well.
I was hoping to get a deluxe model truck camper and pull my bumper pull horse trailer. BUT I think by the time the camper hangs over my truck bed by 4 feet and I extend my hitch, I will be approaching the same length as a gooseneck "camper" (aka living quarters) horse trailer.
At that point, it makes sense from a maneuverability standpoint to get a goose neck horse trailer. Now if I get a less fancy truck camper, that doesn't hang out the back as much, it would be as easy to manage, so its a no brainer for me.
But I really want the double slideout, couch AND dinette. And I think that just makes it a really long bumper pull...
