i have enclosed trailer, 16x8. The nose on trailer very short and wondering if i can use extension around 7-10 inches so i could make sharper turns. What would work? Do need to look at capacity?

Using a hitch extender like the part # HE06 can help a short nosed trailer like you have make tighter turns by adding some length to it but you have to keep in mind that if you use a hitch extender you end up cutting the capacity of the hitch it is installed in by 50 percent.
