im thinkin' 485hp (w/ 12 speed) will pull your trailer just fine - and it'll have air connections at the rear too <just think of the savings>

hell you dont even need your trailer...jsut belly up the extra 45k and get the stacker trailer too - you deserve it

originally i thought the trailer was included in that coach price (god knows in this market, it SHOULD be).

the previous owner of my coach pulled a 30ft stacker (like the one pictured w/ that volvo coach) - loaded w/ 2 cars and 2 golf carts, tools etc - he said he got pretty consistent 8mpg but hauling the mail <fast> he saw it go as low as 6.5.

I've not experienced anything less than 9.5 and ive seen as high as 9.9 - opps i take that back...in july thur the virginia mountains (birmingham alabama to winchester virginia) i dropped back to 8.6 - but again i was running moderately - lots of throttle modulation getting around that i81 traffic.
