Small Trailer Recommendations
I'm looking at used really small camping trailers and want to be sure I'm searching for every option available. By small I mean 14' maximum. I'm not interested in a fold out unless it had solid side...

The other thing about the Aliner is that I have heard you get great mileage -- not sure if that is true -- is it, gheicher?
My present Aliner is a 2004 DL (largest box at the time) and the posted weight is just under 1000 lbs. When towing through the hills of PA with my V8 Explorer the gas mileage doesn't change much. If I tow with my Subaru Forester the gas mileage goes from 25 mpg down to about 20 mpg.
When towing my Starcraft 15RB (listed 2600 lbs) with my V8 Explorer, the gas mileage goes from about 20 down to 12.5 mpg. I believe wind resistance is the largest factor on the level, but of course weight becomes a really big factor when traveling up hills.
