I mean the 18' rpod with a slide is only 2500#, people with a 18' 2500# classic box travel trailer get better then 10 with a modern v6 tow vehicle.
Until you see a true study with the same vehicle pulling each trailer over the same course, I would not put much weight in those numbers.
It is very easy to do, hopefully someone will step up and do it.
