Jdman60,As long as you ar leaning toward a Goosneck style trailer. Then build a trailer that will be with you for yrs to come. So here is MO...
25 ft dovetail, Tandem 10 or 12 K. Axles. Use a DH 2-5/16 Ball.
Here in Texas where the Gooseneck trailer originated. There are hundred of thousands of trailers. Most have been pulled succesfully with no accidents. Any trailer can be turned over by just about any reason. So I see no advantage to the 5-wheel design.
All new Gooseneck hookup have safty chains loops. If you old trailer came without chains then chain are not required here, if new...it will have them anyway, so use them.
Also with a standard GN hookup should your truck break down, there is probably a neighbor or relative that has a truck to get you out of your bind. Anyway that is my $.02
Later,
John A.
