Default Trailer Fun

Had to drag this damn trailer for work yesterday cause i was told i had a big load to pick up. I live in Louisville, KY and the stuff i had to pick up was in Jasper, IN (about 100 miles). I get there and i have 1 damn pallet of stuff that i could have just put in my bed and i had nowhere safe to leave the trailer and wasn't gonna leave it anywhere because it my friends. So i had to drag this damn thing to Chicago, and then back to Louisville. Needless to say i think i was getting about 7-8 mpgs...if that....one cruddy night filled with NUMEROUS gas stops....trailers FTL

I'll take it off your hands

I need an enclosed trailer for when my open don't cut it

But 8mpg does suck! And I do know what u mean when u got to drag it around with you and you don't need it... PITA!

probably not the lightest enclosed trailer either? 7-8 on highway seems pretty bad? I'm thinking about an enclosed v-nose, at least that will help with the aero.

I am sure that it was a pain in the butt, but 200 miles (100 each way) at 8 miles to the gallon is 25 gallons (a bit under one tank). Why did you have to make NUMEROUS gas stops?

Never mind, I missed the Chicago side trip ;-)
