Really thought I'd get at least 10 with the trailer loaded, so hoping once she gets broke in it will get a little better mileage.


You might, but I wouldn't count on it. I have a similar 20' trailer with a 2' V-nose and I get between 8 and 11 towing either 1500 lbs or 4000 lbs (excluding the weight of the trailer itself, which is 3200 lbs). Driving faster than 65 is just an exercise in throwing money out the window.

Very nice setup as others stated the shape of that front will probably keep you near that 8 area. I have hauled similar trailers mustered 11 or so tops and they had the wedge shape. Towing is what is though it will be more than capable.

Thanks guys!

Wish I could find a way to make this thing more aerodynamic. From what I have read nose cones don't work and most of the issues are the shape of rear part do the trailer.
+1. Aero drag creates a tear drop that is tapered in the rear, not front.
