Abstract
The bed of a gooseneck trailer is supported by two bogies, one on the right side of the trailer and one on the left. The gooseneck is angled forward to enable the trailer to be towed by numerous types of towing vehicles. The gooseneck is fitted with a plurality of telescoping inserts enabling the trailer to be towed by vehicles of differing heights and vehicles fitted with various means for attaching trailers. The bogies may be moved independently longitudinally of the trailer and locked into position to control the weight transferred to the towing vehicle.
