I feel your pain brother. I want, and somewhat need, a gooseneck trailer. The slickest rig I have come across (for my needs) is the partial deck tilt (my name for it). The rig I measured has about a 22' deck but the front 5' or so is fixed and only the back 17' tilts. Tilt is by load or operator weight and a small (8" I believe) hydro cylinder with both ports connected by a brake line jumper provides dampening to keep the deck from flopping and in the tilted postion. I really like no ramps to mess with and to be in way when not using them (I end up using my trailers as large utulity trailers a lot more than I hual wheeled equipment). Another small consideration is tricycle equipment for which ramps (unless you have 3) are not really suitable. The downside is those I have seen of this design are not flat deck, the wheels are above the deck limiting width. I think the design may not be suitable for flat deck adaptation as the tilt point would have to be farther to the rear to clear the tires. What we need is a nice home built trailer website!
