i got sick of dealing with the ma and pop joints and the big ones telling me i could not have it this way or that way so i went straight to the trailer mfr in indiana and had mine built the way i wanted..after it was all set and done it cost me 5900.00,,saved me like 3 k..

Who did you go to? How long did it take?

we went with united trailers.. and it took about 6 weeks..now this was in 06 so they may be giving them away now lol..

I can feel my flat front 16' Haulmark at highway speed. Depending on what you are hauling, in my case, a V nose would be a tremendous PITA (filling the V). I like the square corners for loading and load control.

Just picked up a 24 with a partial v, its not a sharp v and not flat, was used but like new... thx for the inpout guys!

Mine had pretty bad sway when I first got it, getting rid of the 6 ply rated tires and going to 10 ply helped immensly as far as sway but my problem is a sudden gust of wind just blows the trailer sideways 30-45 degrees without warning instantly on snow covered roads and it takes my CC Duramax 4x4 with it like a s-10, I'm going to end up rolling my truck over and totalling it out at the rate I'm going and I have already backed my towing speeds down to high 50's/ low 60's which totally suxs. My feeling is trailer is too light vs the immense wind load. I am debating selling the aluminum trailer and going back to a steel 8.5' wide like the haulmarks just for the extra weight, Smitty

Yeah a steel V nose would be much better.

That's exactly what I have. Use it to tow the toys to the sand dunes twice a year. I call it a semi V.

I can't give any input on towing what you bought vs a regular V or flat nose. I've never towed or owned the other two.

My trailer doesn't bother me to tow any. I just make sure and load it evenly and my trip is usually present.

Make sure your trailer is level, or tilted a little forward when it is loaded and on the ball. Make sure you have enough tongue weight, 10-15% of loaded trailer weight. Make sure tires are not over or under inflated. Just because your tires say 50 PSI Max, or what ever their rated pressure, doesn't mean that's what you run in them. If you are not at max load for the tires they should not be at max pressure. I have towed V-nose, rounded nose, and snowmobile trailers. I like the v-nose and low profile trailers, they glide through the air. The only time I had sway issues is when the trailer did not have enough tongue weight or the ball was too high and the weight was on the rear axle.

Good tips for general information especially for somone new to towing. In my case the 27 ft v nose that I own came with std duty st trailer tires. With good tongue weight, tongue slightly higher than tail and trailer properly loaded, if you stood at end of the trailer you still could push with one hand at very rear of trailer and make trailer sway back and forth as it rolled the trailer tire side walls and wagged the tail of my duramax (lots of leverage ). I bought load range E 10 ply rated tires and that tail wagging went away but it still a nightmare to tow on slippery roads, worse towing trailer I have ever owned and I have owned alot, Smitty
