Fence Gate Style Help, Please...(Bump for Broke)

I am installing a new fence and want to put access in my back corner for backing in a trailer. I live on a corner, so I have about 120' of fence line along the road. It's 14' from the street. I'll need to back it in 90 degrees, so thinking 12' should be good. Trailer is a boat with 9' beam.
The fence is 4x4 post, 2x4 and 6' dog ear pickets. Figured I'd need 6x6s along there but looking for recommendations.
I won't be parking the trailer often, maybe once every year or so, but I'd like the access and if I ever need to get some equipment back there, it would be available. I have 2 dogs, so it needs to be secure for them. It's flat grassy terrain.
Anybody have a good rec on a gate style that fits?

12' is a long span especially with a wood fence. We just put in a page fence/gate spanning 12' and used a 6" metal pole. Oh, it's 8' high.
ETA, you doing two 6' gates?

Consider Something like this. Gate kit at Home Depot

I had a 10ft gat on my fence and had 6x6. For a 12ft I'd probably consider 8x8.
I just built my gate with cedar. Framed around it with cedar 2x4 then criss crossed with 2x4s. I'll look for a picture
Here it is from the front

Have you looked at a sliding/rolling gate?

I took a rec from here and used a large gate on the left that attaches to a 4x4 that sides into a pvc sleeve in the ground. When I want to use the big gate I take the lag bolt out of the fence, take the 4x4 it and I have a big gate. The right side is a normal fence gate
