You should be able to set the wheels in closer than 7' on an M. Check to see. Without taking the wheels off and turning them around, you should be able to get them in at least one inch just by sliding them in. I think you can get them down to 6'6" or so without reversing the dish. Gross weight for the trailer is one thing, getting it stopped is another. If it doesn't have electric or air brakes on at least one axle (preferably more), don't even think about trying it. If I remember correctly, a Cat III hitch can take 500 pounds tongue weight and 5000 pounds gross and if you put 10% on the tongue as you should, you are at 5000 pounds gross. That puts you over your weight limit when you consider 1500-2000 pounds for the trailer plus 4000-5000 for a loaded M. So it seems to me that your limits are in your hitch. If you have the brakes on the trailer, it seems that the trailer would be OK, even at 6'11", assuming it is at least 7000 pounds gross. Put at least a Cat IV hitch on it and a brake controller for the electric brakes and you should be OK....Good luck and be safe...BB
