raising the overall camper up, increases the frontal area exposed behind the van. That is the number one power grabbing variable.
The trailer is already taller than the van. So as my father-in-law Sportsmen 19FB is taller than his Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, especially if he drive the Jeep with the roof down. That will decrease the gas mileage a little bit because of the wind drag I would say, but what else?
In my opinion a travel trailer is always taller than the towing vehicle, even with a pickup truck... except if you drive a pop-ups camper. ;)
