Better too much trailer than not enough. The price difference between 14 and 18 feet is small compared to the inconvenience or smaller load capacity hassles.

I agree with this. Having built many traialers over the years. I would opt for the longest one you can get. Plus they tow better. ANd braakes on allw heels.

16 FT WOULD WORK FINE, BUT A 18FT IS A HARD ONE TO BEAT, i USED TO HAVE A 18FT AND LOVED IT , PUT A LONG BED CHEV TRUCK ON IT ALL THE TIME, FIT PERFECT, now I have a small 33 ft open
