Custom built gooseneck

[Compact1]

I had a 20' gooseneck trailer built last fall and I'm just getting around to posting pictures. The builder did a great job and incorporated a lot of custom features.

The trailer is an 18' + 2' with a 2" oak floor and tandem 7,000# axels. The dovetail is made out of diamond plate steel with traction bars. There are two 5' heavy-duty spring assisted mesh gates on the back of the trailer. The fenderwells, toolbox, battery box, and light enclosures are all made out of diamond plate steel. There are white lights built into the fenders and on top of the trailer which are activated by a toggle switch. All lights are rubber mounted and fully enclosed. The rear-facing red lights are L.E.D. There are fork carriers on each side of the trailer and six weld on D-Rings. I also had a B&W Turnoverball Hitch mounted on my truck.

GREAT idea on the lights inside the fenders! I might have to do something similar.

Nice trailer got any pics of the truck and trailer all loaded up?
I just got a GN myself and can't belive the great ride of the gn. I also got the b&W and it's great.

Here's a pic of my wife's Grand Cherokee loaded on the trailer. It's a little blurry.

I like the idea of the fork carriers, but how do you prevent major corrosion in the carrier slots?...lots of drainholes?...

There are two box openeings cut through each side of the trailer and a strap welded across the support beams to "catch the end of the forks. Corrosion isn't a problem.

I attached a picture that shows the fork openings. The picture was taken during the construction phase. Would anyone like to see more pictures from start to finish?
