Gooseneck travel trailer!
Camping at Vogel State Park this Thanksgiving and came across this unique travel trailer converted to a gooseneck. Just had to share. Happy Thanksgiving all!

The Advantage of a Gooseneck is you don't have rails in the bed of your truck, If the ball is a "pop up" when the trailer is not attached you have a standard pickup
THe disadvantage is how you convert, I saw one conversion yesterday that did not work well.. This one was done differently
Though in that photo looks more like a tow truck pulling a 5-er to me But that could be just the angle of the shot.
(The guy I saw. He extended the king pin down to the gooseneck hitch, and about 2' and when he did a panic stop. tore it all to ... Well you get the idea the torque was too much for the pin box.
OH and while we were chatting along with the fix it guy. We watched a 38' 5er Nearly new (if not brand new) Ceader Creek pull out of the gas pump. Turned too soon and tore the rear cap half off the trailer when he hit the concrete bumper..OUCH.
Well. Better him than me is all I can say.
