I like the deck over that isnt a deck over!

the only issue i see is you cant use standard WD hitch supports on the trailer because of the integrated tool box.

But i suppose if they cut down the ones i had and welded them to the frame for me were i needed them, i wouldnt hold it against them :D

so if you have them tweek one for ya, have them

-add breaks to the second axle.
-make the fenders bolt on so you can drive over the tires with wide stuff, side load pallets directly onto the axle area, or haul a car, you wont get the door open wide enough to get out with those fenders in the way. (youll be going through the window... ask me how i know)
- have them move the spair tire holder up front so i can side load through the area were it currently is. an operation i do more than i drive up the back of mine.
- have them weld a 2" receiver to the side of the jack post/ bottom of the deck for a winch mount.

- is there 7 pin hook up wired for battery charging of the breakaway battery and is it wired for backup lights? (if not have them run the wire and/or include the lights) Ive been known to turn on my rear faceing tractor lights so i can back up the trailer in the dark with the tractor on it. Even if your tow rig isnt wired for backup lights its more than easy to add a switch between the 12v aux wire that supplies power to charge the bat and the backup wire. you pull up, get out flip the toggle and back the trailer up. park, get out and turn them off.

Id take min in a flat deck version and with the above mods pay $3500 less ramps (i have my own which i like better)

Both axles have brakes.

They say they are drive over fenders.

There is a 7 way rv plug. My truck has a 6 way but they are installing the 7 way so I will have both

There is a receiver tube on the back. I can weld one on the front.... In fact have about 20 feet of that stuff on hand.

Spare tire is mounted on top of the gooseneck

Not sure about the wiring

Thats not as bad as I thought but, you can only haul 10K lbs then. Alot of the big gooseneck trailers weigh 7 or 8K lbs.

You forgot about the toung load on the truck. With a gooseneck you can easily put 2000 lbs on the truck. With my 26' tripple axle I used to put 4-5k on the toung, pulled great. I just about bought a 14k load trail with removable fenders but I really liked the drive over fenders. The only downfall is your reach to put chains on the equipment, but the wider bed is great for hauling firewood. I could get 6+ cord on my gooseneck without stacking. CJ
