Back in 1998 I built a 4x8 enclosed trailer to tow behind my 6000 wagon. Only got 16.5 mpg towing, but that's about what a full size pickup would get everyday. When not towing I would get 30 mpg highway. It looked cool too, like a doghouse.
In 2000 I lent it to one of my coworkers and it got totaled by a half-asleep semi driver, it saved their lives too because it absorbed the impact. I took the insurance money and bought a Haulmark 5x8 which I still use today. When the old 6000 wagon rusted out, I started towing it with my Trans Sport van. I also use the van to tow my 16 ft camper a few times a year. I put electrohydraulic disc brakes on both my trailers too, to keep things safer.
