In my experience, added length made backing up MUCH easier. It's the little
12 foot boat trailer that is most difficult. Watch an 18 wheeler back up

A longer trailer is much easier to back but it seems a hitch extension
(as opposed to a trailer extension) would exaggerate the tongue swing
making it easier to overcompensate. The only one I ever made was only
about a foot long and didn't make any appreciable difference but it
seems if you reach out several feet it could cause it to handle
differently.
