I have owned both and yes, my older TT which is lower tows nicer.
There is a reason race cars have a low CG. My older trailer is like a slot car and my new trailer; well; like a whale. And my new trailer has a fancy hitch.
I like how my old trailer tows but I like the room in my new trailer.
What does "tows nicer" mean? That's so ambiguous. Could mean a hundred different things to a thousand different people.
Sure. Towing flat weight (low center of gravity) will always be a better experience than high ceiling encloses trailers and TT's less than half the weight. WEIGHT IS NOT EVERYTHING! (I say that a LOT here.)
And the topic isnt about weight anyway. Its about a TT that LOOKS streamline and low profile vs a standard looking TT. Is it better? Worse? The same? Worth paying more?
I can say with tens of thousands of miles of experience, low profile streamline LOOKS doe NOT always equate to less drag and better MPG.
You've seen the two trailers I am comparing with the same tow vehicle, as well as an eco friendly Honda V6. MPG for all practical purposes of comparison, is equal.
What you didnt see was an empty 6x14 enclosed trailer pic that I also tow more frequently than any other. While I do see a tick more MPG than the other trailers I posted, we're talking only 1-2 TOPS more than my 7000lb 32' full size TT. That means 7-9mpg to 8-10mpg average.
SPEED (wind/drag) affects MPG more than anything else by a significant margin.
And if you buy those Air Tabs, make certain calculate an ROI with only a 0.5mpg increase. I'll only break even after 3 years of travel.
