Efficiency When Pulling A Trailer

[jamesqf]

I wonder what having that much weight carried so high does to your center of gravity on those windy Colorado roads, and how folks like having their "full-size" pickups roll down the sides of the canyons :-)

on the big trailer that hangs over your bed which I think they call the extended deck that might be a bigger problem but I have the smaller one that actually sits in the bed so it doesnt sit as high so i havent had any problems. I have taken it camping with an atv and it is kind of nice because I could get on moderate offroad trails and I never could have with my other trailer.

I jumped out of trailer this morning and threw some eggs 'n' bacon on the trailer for breakfast. Then I went out and pedalled my trailer around the neighborhood for a nice little ride. The lawn needed mowing so I got on my trailer and mowed it. Logged on to my trailer for a lil surfin' before going out to the garage and working on my trailer.

look man you obviously arent into it so i am not sure why you keep reading and posting on this thread. I am just trying to lay some new info on people i dont give a **** whether you use a normal trailer or not i just find it convient

Of course you've missed another major point: if you were really interested in fuel efficiency, you wouldn't be hauling ATVs to go "camping", but a couple of mountain bikes instead.

We all have our vices. Me, I just drool over those personal watercraft. Of course, I'd be trying to figure out how to wire up an MPGuino to it, and fitting it so I can tow it with my Accord. :-)

Personal watercraft? How about a sailboard, a canoe, or a kayak? All require zero fossil fuel to use, and very little extra to transport.

And the noise doesn't ruin everyone else's day at the lake :-)

That's why it's called a vice.

I can see where they'd be fun out on the ocean, but for lakes and waterways where all they do is buzz 40' off the shore from sunup to sundown.... there outta be a law and in fact they did **** enough people off so that there are new laws restricting them.
