Maybe it's just me but I don't think you need ecomodder advice. You need trailer pulling advice. From what I have seen and read, they will not be kind. You are doing it wrong. If your business grows, get another tiny home trailer. Drive it to its destination once. Don't be making a habit of towing a thing that was designed to be moved once.

It is permanently fixed to the trailer.

Why not, as they say, both?

[/URL]]For the aerodynamic drag, review the posts by slowmover. ecomodder.com/forum/member-slowmover.html

His guidelines include[d] IIRC meticulous pre-flight planning, no slop in the steering gear, etc. You might want to name your tiny home office Slowmover. You could paint it on the back.

Because ecomodding it infers frequent towing of it. Save that money towards safer, saner objectives.

[Side glance at XFi weekly driver]

Oh well.... slowmover, having gotten himself banned, is no longer here to defend his bonafides.
