Default My beautiful new ATC Goose!

Well after a few months of waiting, my 2-car hauler arrived. It's an ATC 44' gooseneck. Coming from a 22' bumper pull, this is definitely going to take me some time to learn how to drive. Backing up is already behaving very differently than my bumper pull and it's frustrating me but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

The trailer is light to medium options including e-track, tire racks, wall mount e-track, geni cabinet, in floor winch, low profile ramp, larger side door, bunch of light switches etc etc.

I'm really excited and hope to get it registered soon so I can take it out and practice this weekend.

It only took me an hour to turn the trailer around 180 degrees on my property. Hopefully this will improve with time.

Nice Nice!
Will you use the in floor winch to load? Guessing it has a mast with a pulley? My trailer came with that and it was a total PITA to use. At least yours is off center to align with the tow eye. Mine was centered and the cable would bunch up on one side of the drum and bind. Ended up mounting it on the front wall.

I generally load with a winch. I'll do this to get the cars up the ramp and then most likely just push them as they are very light cars. It does have a mast pulley. I'll know soon if it's a PITA!

In retrospect I probably should have had the winch centered (if possible) since my cars are pulled from the top of the roll hoops.

Don't care for tire racks without a security bar. Don't trust straps.

Very good looking trailer!!!

I have to back my 38' trailer blind side into its garage. You will get the hang of it and it becomes 2nd (ish) nature
