Informal replies of "I own X brand with a V nose" would be just fine! So far, all I know about is Logan Coach.
Thanks! |

But you might widen your search to include a tapered nose like the Exiss. The whole idea is to allow the truck to turn tighter by having the trailer narrow at the contact point... |

I have a Logan Coach now with a shortbox and can do 90 degree plus turns and don't want to give that up. I'll give up space in the nose for maneuverability. So am limiting my choices to V nose not tapered. |

![25](https://horsetrailerworld.com/forum/images/decorations/multiple/25.gif) Location: Ottawa, ON | My Titan Classic I has a slight taper that leads into a cut-off V, the front is flat, about 20" wide. You can see a picture that gives you an idea on their website. http://www.titantrailer.com/horse/horse_gooseneck.htm There is lots of room to turn with my 1500HD, 6.5' box. Just for kicks, I cranked it to better than 90 degrees (the angle between the truck and trailer was acute) and checked the clearance. I still had 4" between the trailer and the truck. More clearance than I hope to ever need, but it is nice to know it is there. I'd have to make up some diagrams to prove it, but just thinking about it, I believe that the taper gives me more clearance than a simple V would.
