Yea 20 miles is a bit much for a one way on a bike.

I am curious why you chose a large tow rig with a trailer, vs a RV pulling a car/small SUV.

I imagine the mileage difference driving an RV vs your excursion pulling a trailer would be negligible. Does the trailer offer better living space vs having to house engine and drive train as well as driver seat in the same box as living space?
