[QUOTE="lawman, post: 544434, member: 16436"] i have a trailer with a roof that extends up when i need it, so i can offer some info on that. i have an old towlite camper trailer. it is a hard-shell tow-behind that raises & lowers on a hydraulic system; lowered, it is maybe 5' tall. it is i think 21' long, so it's much heavier than an enclosed, but of course lower. i pull it with an f-150 with the 5.4l & tow pkg. w/o the trailer, at 75 mph, it gets about 19mpg. with the trailer, with a bike in the truck & all the gear + generator & ramps, it gets 12-13 mpg at 75mph. at hiway speed, i can't even tell it's back there, i have to concentrate to remember to leave room for it when passing. i can feel it pulling off from a stop or up a hill at low speeds, but that's about it. so the height makes a difference!
