Shorter toy haulers
Ok, currently I have a 04 Jayco Talon 36Z. It's a 39' 5th wheel TH, with a 12' garage and a super slide. We really love the layout and space. I HATE towing it in the wind. I would love to find a ri...

I don't think your giving a DRW it's due. The two extra tires are not for nothing, it equates to stability, that's why they sell them and why guys that have big trailers use them. I pull a 38' Fuzion with a DRW and never has it felt unstable or pushed around due to wind and Idaho is every bit as windy as North Dakota (I used to live near Jamestown).
If you don't want a dually and would prefer to downsize, I get that. However a DRW will change your towing experience 180 degrees with your existing trailer.
I fully understand the advantage in stability of a DRW vs a SRW. However, for the amount of towing vs. the other use of the vehicle, it's not feasible.
What I'm getting at is that going to a dually is not going to help my issues.
-It won't increase MPG.
-It won't lower EGT
-It won't reduce drag in head/cross winds
However, getting a trailer of the same length with a lower ceiling height (ie less frontal and side area) should do all of the above.
Sadly, it seems I'm looking for a unicorn.
Your story keeps changing... Nowhere in your original post did you talk about MPG or EGTs. Simply said that you quote: "HATE towing in the wind". Most including myself read that and assume stability issues which is why some have recommended a dually.
