Nice looking set up! That trailer is probably one of the BEST designs from a how easy it will tow. Aerodynamically speaking mind you! My old TT combo probably weighs same as that combo, but would take at least 10-15% more HP to move it due to a lower aerodynamic setup. A lot of folks do NOT take that into account. Ea additional 3 sq ft of frontal area, is like adding 1000 lbs of weight to the rig. you can also lower or increase the HP needed by 30% either way for lack of, vs better aerodynamics of the setup.
OH, You had one or two too many "img" in parenthesis in the link, along with one too many page links.
