The best thing about the Trail Lites-Cruisers is the aerodynamics, they cut thru the wind and as the undersides are enclosed or smooth, there is little turbulence. The TC is heavier than the Tahoe Lite we got rid of, but its easier to tow cause the design is slipperierSoundGuy wrote:
Sorry to disappoint but that's an Old Wives' Tale - TrailCruisers, Trailites, tow no differently than any full height trailer, nor does the enclosed underbelly make any difference at all other than in advertising. If anything helps at all it's that RVision products were generally lighter than anything of similar sizes at the time. I got the same average fuel mileage returns towing our TrailCruiser C21RBH with our 2006 Silverado as I do now towing our similar size but much heavier Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS (with an open underbelly) with our current 2012 Silverado. ;)d2tw4all wrote:
Playing devils advocate though, you tow with a pickup and we are using SUV’s, which absolutely have significant differences in how they both tow and the aerodynamics involved.
What his this got to do with whether you're towing an RVision trailer or anything else? :hd2tw4all wrote:
I definitely could see the SUV streaming air differently over the trailer.
How can you possibly see invisible "streaming air differently over the trailer"?? :h
Didn't mean this literally, meant figuratively, like "I see what you're saying" you don't literally mean you see their words. Just meant it makes sense to me that the air flowing over an SUV will differ from a pick up.
The R-Vision has a more aerodynamic profile for sure at least when compared to my Starcraft. The front of it is much more tapered etc.
