I5 pulls trailer cross country no problem
After all the doom and gloom forecasts last time I talked about towing my sailboat cross country I was a little hesitant but all my local test runs said it would work fine.
So off we went. mid-coast to the Gulf Coast. 700 some miles. Admittedly the boat and trailer probably total less than 1k lbs but the sailboat sticks up above the car and the downflow off the back of the car blasts right down into the cover. People described their little trailers and said I should expect 1.5 m/kwh max. So here are some numbers from towing the boat.
We only made one stop more than we usually do without the boat and could probably have done it without the extra stop if we weren't range-conservative and happy to take a break every couple hours or so. We did break the trip up into two days this time because we wanted to arrive in daylight.
