Took it for a 60 mile test drive, empty trailer, was watching how close the trailer was to the back of the motorhome. Never got close to worry about. This trailer is 20+5 with an 8 foot gooseneck hitch. This is like having a 33 foot tag trailer. It followed very close in the turns, I did have to swing wide but not as bad as I thought. On the interstate you could barely see it in the driver mirror and nothing on the pass mirror unless turning.
I do plan on going to a 30 foot(38total) gooseneck in a dual tandem configuration. The neck will be narrower for even more turning radius and should be even more stable with the 8 tires.

On a side note, I wonder what is the maximum tow capacity of my renegade?
