An overdimension trailer and a method of steering same are disclosed. The trailer includes a frame having a tow coupling for connection to a towing vehicle unit, and a plurality of steering assemblies mounted to the frame. Each steering assembly includes at least one steerable axle, a plurality of tyres mounted to each steerable axle, and at least one controllable steering actuator configure to control the steering angle of the steerable axle. The trailer includes at least one steering sensor configured to output a signal indicative of a coupling angle between the trailer and the towing vehicle unit. The trailer includes at least one electronic controller configured to receive the signal output from the at least one steering sensor, determine a desired steering angle for each steering assembly based on the received signal, and control the steering actuator of each steering assembly to achieve the associated desired steering angle.
