I am just about ready to get a Cargo Trailer to haul up the AlCan at the end of April. Probably around 7K or more weight. The very minimum is a 7x14 flat nose but I would prefer a v-nose if possible. They haul better and save a little fuel. It all counts when running 3500 miles.

V-nose typically come in 20-25ft models. What do you guys think about hauling this length? I would prefer a 20ft just to keep it easier. Is it that big a difference. Also what brands? I was looking at interstate but TNT's are alot cheaper. I will sell it once getting to AK as I don't need it but for the move.

More importantly. I was thinking for sure I need a weight distribution hitch. How much, which brand and why? They all seem pretty much the same idea in the end. Also, I am on a tight budget. Break controller, Prodigy seems to be the concensus here so that's solid. What about airbags to level her out? Do I even need these if I have a weight distribution hitch?

Thanks in advance for the help.
