Goose,
Yikes! Sounds like you won the battle, but that had to get the heart rate up!
Have 2 tow vehicles. The main one is my 2003 Tioga E450 Motorhome with the V10. When we travel, we will use it.
I would imagine a motorhome pulling a longer enclosed trailer would have a lot of side panel to grab crosswinds. As a pilot, I am mindful of winds... I’d pay attention to the direction and be prepared for exposure when crossing bridges. Even my 20 footer can get pulled around a bit by crosswinds.
I have had numerous experiences with wind. Most of the time, just slow down and dont get in a hurry.
it's 26 foot and it's a ATC I shopped around and ATC seemed to be a great trailer. They are not the least expensive but when hauling my baby around the east coast I wanted something that was good, I got plenty of bells and whistles that you don't need. ATC modeled my GT500 in the trailer with all the right dimensions not sure of the software but looks similar to solid works. The dropped the dove tail a little and added the ramps that lock in place while towing so that the front will clear the ramp by 3/4 of an inch. With the car in the trailer the door swings in between the wheels of trailer giving you almost full opening of car door to get in and out. I added a tire rack for track tires and wheels The generator/AC/Fridge are for me so when at track or a show for the weekend I have someplace to go if it gets to hot. It has three batteries so can run everything but AC without even turning on generator. attached a few more pics
I'm pulling her with a F150 with ecoboost V6 twin turbo. Tongue weight is about 800lbs with the weight distribution hitch. She weighs about 3300 dry with a full tank of fuel it's about 3500 fully loaded with car/trailer/extra wheels and tools etc she will be right at 9000lbs. which is about 2000 less then what the F150 can haul. My last trailer weight right at 8K with everything and truck did not even know it was behind her. I plan on driving her in and out but wanted the option to winch her in if necessary. if I find it's too hard to get in and out of car then i will winch her in and out I set her up to winch out with some block and tackle in the back. The winch will control both in and out so my baby will not get away from me. I had a rack also installed to hold my quick jack so I can lift the car easy when at the track to change wheels. The fridge is not something I needed but they put her in for a gift so to speak because of all the other things I did.
I would say my trailer is just above the average their are some that require a semi to haul so to speak hold two cars and have sleeping quarters. I'm a hotel person.......
