enclosed trailers

Think you're right Ed, in many cases you can also lesson the overall tongue weight, which is important if you're pulling with a SUV, 1500 or even 2500. The Airstream forum is awash with dire warnings about overloading your rear axle and overall GVW and even tire ratings. We racers seldom even mention it. Took me 5 trips across the CAT scales to get the weight bars and axle loadings balanced. I like the looks of ATC's new Raven line of aluminum trailers, only a one year warranty but significantly better priced. FYI that the mileage I gave was at equal weight for the car trailer vs. the Airstream.
