shorter vs longer on a long trip
Does a lighter shorter TT make a great difference in milage and/or any other differences? We currently have a 30' TT that the build weight is 5500 lb. Planning on a trip from here FL to around NY ...

Unfortunately you will find that it is the "WIND RESISTANCE" surface of TT that is more responsible for MPG while towing.
I mean that a 3200lb trailer will eat as much gas as A 5500LB trailer in general. That is with everything the same. Even one axle Vs two axles, if everything else the same. Thirty feet Vs. Twenty-two will not noticeably effect MPG in my humble (out of ignorance of math) opinion.
There are experts on this forum who may step in here now and give formula's if one persist in debating.
