Re: [A/S] Re: Canadian Towing



They are easy to tow because of their aerodynamic styling... no square 
corners and very low profile mean less wind resistance.

If you look at other travel trailers many are built with no wheel wells, the 
trailer is above the wheels/tires so the floor is all flat inside.

That doesn't mean you can pull a heavy one with too small a "tow vehicle".   
The original concept was a very light trailer so they were built with very 
light interior materials.  Now the Classics are heavy and bloated...nothing like 
the original concept. Heavy carpeting, solid oak cabinetry etc all make the 
trailer very heavy.  They are easy to tow but need an adequate tow vehicle to do 
the job safely.
