Cd, my truck frame is stronger. The bike is rigid there but flexed the trailer frame when I tried that. Up front I can better monitor it while traveling. Aero wise up front the bike did little harm to MPG; the trailer cleans up the truck wake; on back the bike seemed to mess up the trailer wake.

Linked this to a thread on RV.net this morning; a thread concerning small TT/TV combinations. See linkbacks below. Wake up, K-B (and you oughta come down to the Texas Coastal Bend for part of your winter as a full-timer).
