Towing a cargo van

You all have talked me into a cargo trailer.
I will try to buy one so I can sell it again at the end of the line, instead of renting one.

wait, what about the cargo van with a 454? Towing the motor home? No one commented on that? Well, some of you mentioned no brakes. And I would have to reconnect the drive line if I have to move it in a forced back up situation.

Ok, Cargo trailer it is.
Thanks for all your input.

Family was sent ahead already. Got the motor home hoping to use it as a moving truck, for only 1000 lbs of stuff, clothing g, videos, books, two dresser drawers, a matress, baby stuff, tools, etc... liquidate the rest.

Then use it as a man cave, when I get there, you know, like an office, when kids are fussing, etc..

Assumed I would tow something, for the 8 foot item I built. But will be going through Oregon in the rainy season. Done that before, a few times. Must have an enclosed trailer. U-haul is not as much as I feared. Will be fine. You guys keep scaring the heck out of me with your break down on the side of the road, stories.

But not too much. Mopar motors are tough and reasonably easy to work on, and it's not like I wouldn't have a place to sleep, though a bit crowded.

I do have another question though, and perhaps should have it's own post, but since I'm here, what the heck...

That question is,.. those cream colored storage pods that go on top of an rv, ...how bad does their wind drag effect milage, if at all?

I ask because I picked up a used one on craigs, for $75, it is 2.5 feet (I think) x 6 feet, (I was excited, accessory for new toy, etc, and handy since I'm using it to move.) But now realize I have to mount it so the length of it is accross the width of my rv, instead of torpedo style. Will it slow me down that much more? Or act like a spoiler, and channel wind so it doesn't beat against the trailer I pull?

I mean, if you have your own experience to share. Not that important though I guess.
