I stopped by the local trailer place http://www.vatrailersales.com/ to look at a PJ tilt deck trailer. Like this but with a gooseneck hitch http://www.pjtrailers.com/detail.cfm?ID=T8
They have one with a 22' deck, the whole thing tilts, and it is about 30-32" off the ground without a load.
It has an electric winch, full hydraulic tilt, twin jacks, two 7,000 lb axles with electric drum brakes and spring suspension. Price was about 8,000 or 9,000, I didn't ask for an exact number.

I looked online at the low deck version with fenders, and I'm not so sure that's what I want now. They only come with torsion axles (pretty sure I don't want them) and only 7,000 lb axles. Only part of the deck tilts (don't know if they will or can make the whole thing tilt?). The fenders are removable, which I like.

So, now that I've seen one and done a little more research I think this is what I would order:
- 22' tilt deck, deck over, gooseneck
- 8,000 lb axles with electric over hydraulic disc brakes (cheaper to service, but more expensive up front)
- No winch, they mount it on the deck, I would buy my own and mount it under the deck or in the hitch

They are supposed to get me a price, and what the price difference is if I pick it up in Texas.
