Frontal Sq'
Is there a formula for calculating it for a curved front TT? I called Coachmen to get the frontal sq' of the 192RBS during my researching and they don't have any idea. All they could tell me is "if ...

I suspect what the OP is trying to justify is towing a 192RBS like mine with his V6 Ranger rather than his F250, which I've suggested (having tried a similar setup myself years ago) may not be the best idea. His response has been a categorical "no worries" (my words) but I'll bet he's asking this question because he's given it some thought and may realize this just isn't the best idea. In another discussion about the 192RBS I asked owner Last Train about his Honda Ridgeline V6's fuel mileage returns when towing his own 192RBS and his numbers which are noticeably worse than my 5.3L Silverado's when towing my own 192RBS support the argument that when towing the same load, with the same frontal area, a smaller V6 is going to be working a lot harder than a larger V8. Big surprise, there's no magic to any of this, and no amount of complicated calculations are going to change it. :R
Actually I was just wondering if it would make a significant difference and kcfissel sent me the formula, and it doesn't. I'm not second guessing the towing abilities of the Ranger cause once again THE 192RBS WAS DESIGNED TO BE TOWED BY SUV'S AND MIDSIZE TRUCKS. The fact that you and others think a vehicle needs to have twice the towing capacity for the said TT doesn't negate the fact that these vehicles are able to tow it safely.
And there you have it. No need for any questions, discussions, or requests for advice from anyone who just so happens to own the same exact rig, Coachmans statements are golden and the manufacturer is always dead on target.....drop it on the ball and head on out, all is pussygood.
