Also no room for winch, tool box etc. I have a 19 ft and it is perfect. It is aluminum with ramps. I would have prefered a tilt bed but the ramps are very light and easy to deploy. Most states require brakes 3000# GVW+ lbs

Do your pulls towards the middle of the trailer, not the end. Or tie down from the middle out instead of the axles.
