I'd prefer a Gooseneck with something that long. Just personal preference.
And I agree with above, 2 axles is pushing it. I'd prefer 3.

Put a set of steel casters on the back to eliminate the draging over some places... on my 43' fifth whel I have 2 axles.. 10,000 pound axles... but the tires are the limiting points.. I use the heaviest rated I can get... I hope that truck is a diesel.. the LQ trailers are fairly heavy once your all loaded

Anybody towed a tag trailer this big, any handling problems? I'm interested in a 32' tag trailer (bumper pull) with living quarters in the front. It has dual axles. It looks huge in the pics I've seen. I have a 1-ton crewcab dually to tow it. I don't have weight or GVWR numbers for it. Just wondering if this size trailer comes with handling problems. Thanks. My brother has one that is the same size with dual axles (heavy duty axles what ever that means). He hauls a big tool box and golf cart up front and his hemi road runner in the back. Never had an issue with stopping or maneuvering it, but he did have one tire blow out on the interstate on the way back from Bristol. But towing it and you can't really tell it is back there. He does not drive it really fast as he is very cautious of some other idiot cutting him off. He uses a dually with a Cummings. Jerry

There is no such thing as a trailer that is too big. Or a shop. Amen!!!

Make sure the axles, wheels and tires will carry more than the gross weight rating of the trailer and that it has 16 inch wheels and tires, preferrably with eight lug wheels Then be ready to learn what way you need to drive and load it so it is safe for you to tow with it BTW, get the best automatic electric brake controller for the trailer you can buy also. I haven't towed a tag trailer that long,I have towed and used several 24ft tag 10,000 GVWR, one 22 ft 7000 GVWR and one 36 ft 5th wheel 16,000 lb GVWR travel trailer that was near max weight rating loaded. No goose necks yet, maybe soon. The 5th wheel towed the best with my 2006 Ram 3500 4x4 crewcab CTD, barely knew it was back there once I got the brake controllers set Good luck, have you looked at the 32 ft gooseneck in the adds on here

Without knowing the price I would look elsewhere because its a tag.. when getting that large and 2 axles I would want a fair amount of the weight on the fifth wheel/goose neck to help the tires out.. if you can find a goose neck you might want to go that way VS a fifth wheel.. on the goose they make ones that drop down below the bed which opens up the whole bed when not in use... unlike a fifth wheel which has that in the bed all the time(or at least the rails that the unit mounts on which mine has but I dont bother taking it off)

I bought a 26' dual spread axle from Intech, and I should have bought a 28' triple axle trailer, but I am going to buy the "Trailer Toad" 5K pound tongue system, and that is what most of the stacker guys are running to take off the high tongue weights off of their trucks or motorhomes.
A 30' trailer would have been best for me, but towing that behind a 36' motorhome is just too long for me to deal with...
So, if you get the 32' trailer, make sure it has the heavy duty triple axles, and the Trailer Toad", because as soon as you install your generator, pit bikes/golf cart and tools, your tongue weight will be very high.

The living quarters must be 8 x 8 maybe at the most. Just enough room for a bed and toilet. I have a 28 footer and wish I had triple axles. I did cut the wheel boxes and the outer sheet metal to ad larger tires and 16" wheels.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Shower/toilet, frig, microwave, cook top, sink, fold-out couch & table. Not a lot of room for he car but mine would fit.
