I just purchased a series 7 with nose gear. I am going to have to trailer it 1200 miles from Denver to Houston. It has the transportation kit and looks ready to go.

The tow vehicle is an F150 and I was going to use a 16' tandem axle trailer. With the nose gear it sits close to level with the tail supported.

I was thinking about putting a couple hundred pounds of weight in the seats to help plant the nose gear and then just strap it down.

Has anybody else done this have thoughts on it? I am trying to avoid using a tail stand/brace/support if possible.

I also wondered if it was better to go nose first or tail first since it has the nosewheel.

Thanks for any and all input.
