Make sure you have a mobile garage like Clarke to pull behind you. We could use your skills and knowledge on the road.
Speaking of mobile garages. If you have a dual axle trailer and assuming the weight is distributed evenly in the trailer. Do you think that adds much weight to the coach? Reason I ask is that I see advantages to the mobile garage in taking whatever car we want with us as opposed to the only one set up to tow now. Also more of our stuff can go in a trailer, be more easily accessible and also decrease some of the weight in the coach. Does make sense or will the hitch of a trailer still add that much to a coach?

Only the tongue weight would add to the weight of the coach......

I believe that the general rule is that 10% of the trailer weight should be on the tongue. I have always tow-barred my jeep but set up an 18' Imperial open trailer to tow behind my Newell this year. I think an enclosed trailer like Clarke is using would be great!

I have towed this trailer from race track to race track for over 250,000 miles and it weighs between 20,000-25000#'s. I don't know what the tongue weight is but it has been an easy tow as well as being able to back it into any space wide enough to hold it.
