[RC] gooseneck hitch placement - Amy Martin

After a week long extravaganza of husband and the local welder trying to put
on our gooseneck hitch they finally gave up and took it to the professionals
today.  The professionals put it on just a tad ahead of the rear axel.
Husband and the welder had planned it several inches ahead as per hitch
instructions and the hitch shop enlarged the hole husband made in the bed of
my truck and moved it back.  Will it be ok so close to the rear axel?? There
is probably not anything I can do about it now since it is home. Welder took
the truck from me down to the hitch shop to get it finished so we didn't see
it till after it was home and paid for.  At least it is a small and light
gooseneck trailer, 3100#.  Looking at local trucks pulling goosenecks I see
both some at the axel and some several inches ahead.  Any ideas which is
better for a horse trailer? Tried a google search and found it recommended
both ways.  Amy in Texas
