[Vwdiesel] trailers

[mark shepherd]

Hi Bill,
Sorry I think you missed the point.
I'm saying that with that trailer on the back of my Quantum, and not filled 
with sand, but a few ferret cages a ferret race track, a marquee etc, filled 
near flush with a covering, my mileage gets BETTER! I am  only talking about 
out of town type driving :o)
That's why I said a cardboard mock up that could be flat packed at the end 
of the trip would be a good thing. I suspect the trailer turns my wagon into 
a rather long coupe :o)
