The little "off road" campers look kinda cool.
Mileage? LOL
I'm around 8mpg avg with the brodozer and current trailer pounding her down the road. I don't think I'd notice a difference from the trailer tires, although I agree they're not necessary and will have more rolling resistance.

Can someone explain to me how an aggressive/knobby/offroad tread on a trailer tire has any significant benefit while towing.
I've owned three 5th wheel rv trailers since the mid '80s but non ever went off road other than pulling into a construction work site at times.
Having towed non rv trailers full time on paved highways what I've found from actual experience is a AT or MT with large lugs and voids used on a road trailer loose traction quick on dry and especially wet pavement during hard braking events.
And like someone pointed out they wear fast....simply not a good tire tread for a working trailer. This type of work the trailer needs a long lasting tread type/good highway traction in all kinds of weather.
Now a rv trailer used in off road conditions would require a tread with larger lugs and voids.

I guess it is possible they can handle a lower psi on sand but where exactly would people take them that they need that much float?
Follow me. I'll show you where. :B
But I agree with you in principle, and airing down sucks. Having to re-inflate twelve tires is ridiculous.

We camp mostly in the deserts where we ride, so we tow a lot off-road. We camp in pretty large groups and I've never seen anybody with off-road tires on their trailers.
You need good traction on your tow vehicle tires, but as far as the trailer goes, I think the only criteria are:
* Follow me in a straight line
* Hold air
* Don't pop and shred my fenders
* Look black and pretty and don't detract from my beautiful trailer
We pick up a lot of nails & sticks out there, so I've plugged a ton of tires. I don't keep a log, but I'd say I've plugged four truck tires for every one trailer tire over the years. Come to think of it, I've probably plugged ten off-road tires to every one truck puncture, and the holes in the off-road tires usually take multiple plugs. (The record I've seen in our group is seven plugs to stop the leak and get back to camp.)
