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 ...

We went from towing a 20' TT with a V8 1/2 ton truck. Now have a 3/4 ton truck with a V10 and tow a 29' TT. Gas mileage improved by around 2 mpg on average. The little V6 was running flat out most of the time and we were close to the max. tow figure. We got down to 5.6 mpg in steeper and longer hills like near Grants Pass in Or. and were off on the right shoulder along with the semis and crawling up at around 30-35 mph pedal to the metal.
Sometimes bigger IS better.
Mind you, we now have one of those fancy new aerodynamic front caps. Maybe it's all about the cap.... :D
