    An RGN is a removable gooseneck. Can either be mechanical, air assist or hydraulic.

    No. Dd are usually flats. Rgn is a lowboy. All dd means is it has two drops. One in front the other in back. ---___--

    An RGN comes apart so you can drive vehicles on it from the ground. However, there are trailers that look similar but do not come apart, these are double drops. They are both useful for tall freight but to haul a vehicle on a double drop you have to drive it off the back or use a ramp to drive it off the side.
