    The v is a bonus 30" So trailer would be 18' inside plus v nose.
    Keep in mind if you get a v nose your tongue will be considerably shorter
    you really have to be careful backing up. If v nose is your choice get 1 with an extended
    tongue problem solved. Like you mentioned an enclosed would be very heavy unless its all aluminum
    I myself have a open 18' open trailer with ramp weighs about 2300lbs

    jill, duke is spot on for his advice. knowing that you are eventually going to be towing this behind a big rv, the short tongue is a definite problem. if I had the chance to buy my again, i'd have checked for an extended tongue on the trailer. on my friends!!

    I use a 12" hitch extension for my V-nose. Works great. They come in 6-14". Slides into hitch receiver then the hitch adapter goes into it.

    I would also check weight of your trailer loaded and compare that with receiver load capacity. If your camper is a class C you probably have a 3500# receiver. That's what on mine anyway. Class A no problem.
