That said, there are a ton of variables that could throw the results off i.e.; headwinds, cold temps, rain, snow, slush. To really know would require ABABAB testing on the same day, same weather conditions with a fully warmed tow vehicle.
I agree that a scientific comparison would be ideal for the learning aspects of this project. I wish that was practical but it's just not. This is my criteria for success.
  1. Safety: nothing exciting happens
  2. Protection: nothing inside the trailer is worse for wear
  3. Performance: MPGs not worse than the Scamp
We're loaded. Ready to hit the road after work tomorrow. Should be there Sat PM. Route is central MA to central IL by way of I80. If you see us wave. I wave back because I'm friendly. If Frank waves back, something is loose!

Cheers
