Basically, the shorter the trailer the faster the response to any turning
changes when backing up.  It's a lot easier to back up a long trailer than a
short one.  That said, you have to consider your load when deciding on
trailer size.  Ten to twenty hives necessitate a lot smaller trailer than
one hundred to two hundred.  That also applies to type of trailer, i.e.
gooseneck or traditional ball hitch.  A gooseneck will handle a lot heavier
load than the traditional hitch.  When you go to buy the trailer talk to the
salesman about the size of load you plan to be hauling.
