I bet that v-nose helps with the mpg's. You may want to get a camera to keep track of drafters.

So, watcha gonna haul?

Bought a cut-down church pew for my wife's clinic on the weekend. Seller had a nice little enclosed trailer behind his SantaFe. It looked like a Wells Fargo unit, but I'm not sure. To my eye, the axle was too far back, putting too much weight on the hitch. Seller runs around the area with antiques, so a lot of air goes in the trailer.

One thing I found I liked most on this is
A: All Aluminum, So no rust (The Coupler and Foot are steel)
B: All Boxed Tube, No C Channel

I used it to move my buddy today and I worked very well, Towed without any issues downtown the city here.

In the future I plan to acquire a used ATV or Dirtbike. But this summer I plan to use it as a shop at my grandfather as we have alot of work todo to his place, and cant leave tools as his barn/shed has been broken into before.
