All great comments so far. Thanks.

The wing idea would be doable... perhaps attached to the roof rack.

As far as the weight difference, I'm not too concerned as the van's max is 3600 lb so I would be staying close to that with either trailer. They are both single axled so that also limits total weight. I am having a hard time believing what's listed in the brochures for weights as I have seen it vary 200ish lbs on the same trailer from different sources. However, the Visa makes sense that it weighs more. A little research last night on my part showed that weight makes little difference at speed.

The exterior on the Visa is very smooth besides the windows and awnings. The 19BH is the traditional corrugated aluminum sheet.

That's a huge difference in frontal area! The Cd would have to be much better on the Van-Visa to make up the difference... correct?

I will be looking at a Visa this weekend. I am afraid I will like it more as it appears to be of better quality. The price reflects that also at almost $5K more.
