The tail will swing to follow the wheels. So if you get your wheels where they need to be before backing half the job is won. My biggest concern was will I make wide turn with this long TT and still not beable to get it on my street. Thanks TecheMan I appreciate this I really do. It is so nice to have a place like this where others are willing to help one another with stuff like this.
I tow a 21ft Stratos and a 30ft TT. The main issue I had, and still have sometimes is judging distance when backing so I always use a spotter. Turns, especially sharp turns, you have to watch out more for tail swing on a TT that you do not have with a bass boat. The wheels on a TT are more center mounted than rear mounted like on a boat trailer. Other than the fact that a TT catches more air, I really cannot tell much difference as far as highway towing. I think the biggest issue is your confidence/comfort level. As for the width, from outside to outside, they are about the same. We have some really narrow roads that my butt cheek pinches the seat on when towing both, so that part is the same. I think you are over thinking. It becomes second nature just like it has with your boat
