I have a friend that hauls RDS tanks, they have ones that come back due to whatever reason and he can get me one for cheap. It is not as good as a Transflow though.

I know that feeling. Trying pulling into a station with a 41ft motorhome flat towing a Grand Cherokee. You can't back up. You have to unhook the Jeep to do it. Diesel prices around the country is all over the place. The motorhome has a 100 gal tank. Try paying for that a couple of times on a trip. When traveling with the motorhome. I try to fill up at truck stops. Flying J, Loves, or Pilot. Pilot and Flying J are set up for RV's. I can dump my grey and black tanks there.

You can say that again.

You should have seen the money moving at the tables on the cruise.

Seen some poker hands over $20,000.

I get better fuel mileage with my gooseneck LQ horse trailer compared to the new car hauler. The wind resistance kills my fuel mileage. I am kicking myself for getting a bumper pull and not a gooseneck trailer. They however are way more expensive. If I start
towing my car more I will consider something else.

Couldn’t you fabricate a wedge of some sort in the front to help with wind resistance?

It is a V nose. I will see how it does going to Maryland. I may need to add some timing back into my truck to help
with fuel mileage.

I got $500 sitting here for the "old" trailer when you decide to upgrade.
