Thanks!
Uhaul trailers are about that length, which I have used numerous times. The frs is roughly 14' long so factor that. It's really going to depend on where the axles are setup on the trailer. Uhaul trailer are stable because they have long tongues and the axles are placed rearward so it carries a high percentage of the weight on the tongue(way too much imo). I was in a similar situation and ended up buying a 16’, partly because it’s hard to find a 14’ “car” trailer and partly due to resale.
