I have heard that there may be some real issues in towing a BP with Livingquarter. Does anyone have experiance with this issue? I have always owned a GN with livingquarter, I would like to get a BP so that I don't have to climb in and out of the nose. Thank you

It would depend what the tow vehicle is and how big the LQ and horse area are. Some of the big, fancy goosenecks have a bedroom on the 'main' floor. Big bucks! You could also go with bunkbeds or a nice couch to sleep on. Less bucks!

They have been hauling bumper pulls for years .the bumper pull came out first then the goose neck . just make sure when you order your trailer they know what kind of truck you are pulling with , the axles can be moved to change the hitch weight . Good Luck

Just something else to consider-just pulled an empty bumper 3 horse 7 wide, 7 tall almost no dress a 1000 miles, set the spedo @ 76 and got 13.6 w/trailer . Week later same pickup, set on 76, 300 miles east 5 horse gooseneck 8 wide, 7.5 tall, mangers, 5"drop nose, 8' short wall shell, 28' on the floor--just over 14 mpg. I know which one I'd rather pull? No doubt safer under all conditions. someone can put the bed where you need it.
