Rally cars run primarily on dirt/gravel, and the cars after the first 20 or so run in solid ruts from those first cars. They typically run underbody plastic protection between the skid plates, which keeps the rocks/gravel/etc. from damaging the car, but it also cleans up the underbody significantly. HDPE (high density polyethelene) or UHMW-PE (Ultra high Molecular Weight polyethelene)
I don't have enough posts to link to thread/pics of said items.
Other things to think of: using trailer mirrors? all the time? extra resistance. Does either van have a roof rack? pull the crossbars.
what is the trailer like? a box? open? big ramps on the back standing straight up while driving?
