Love our Keystone 38fqds..... but cannot imagine towing it. Have it on our seasonal site. But I have seen others towing the same model down the road. If you have the truck to pull it....an the nerves to handle doing so, then go for it....
Why can't you imagine towing it?
The front of the trailer is curved just like regular TTs, so wind resistance wise it should be the same.
I towed my trailer home from dealer in April. Bought it in Eau Claire, I live in Waterown. Approx 180 miles. It was well under my weight capacities, but it was windy that day. I am a very experienced driver and hold a Class A CDL with NT endorsements. It was a pretty rough haul. I just couldn't keep the trailer straight. It was throwing me all around. I had to drive about 62mph Max to keep it in my lane. My front cap is pretty identical to the Salem. But the side wind just pushed the 40ft trailer all over. SRW without sway control.
On side note, when I pulled it to our site, near Antigo approx 180 miles, it was a calm day and it towed fine. Though semis and box trucks still pushed me around pretty good.
