Norm & Ginny -
Do you have a bathroom in your Scamp 16? I have a 2005 Scamp 13 w. bath and pull it with a 2002 3.6 Subaru Outback. I'm considering getting a 16 footer w. bath but thought it too heavy for my Subaru.

I'm hoping we can limit this thread to the tow/trailer data and keep discussions, opinions, etc in other threads or PMs. Like Sgt. Friday would have said, "Just the fact, ma'am."

Perhaps it would be possible to compile it all to a table (similar to "Trailer Weights in the Real World") in the first post. I don't know exactly how to post and to periodically update a table in the forum, but I'd be willing to try it if Frederick or a mod could give me tips. Even without a table, though, it would be nice to have all the info in a single thread.
Each owner of a FGRV (present or past) could enter the following:
1. Year, make, model of vehicle
2. Engine size (examples: 2.2L 4cyl, or 3.3L V6)
3. Trailer make and size (examples: Scamp 13, Escape 5.0) [note: FG eggs only; no stickie trailers]
4. Typical fuel economy: highway towing, and highway non-towing
What do you all think? I'll go first.
2008 Toyota Highlander
3.5L V6
Burro 17'
14.3 mpg towing, 22.5 mpg non-towing

I already make it in my profile.
It would be good to adjust the board of the profile of each, asking to enter this very relevant information.
I'm in.
Who is the person in charge for the additions in this board?
It would be a very good guide for all.
I am going to add the other information during the season.

To get this thread back on track (sorta since neither of my trailers now are completely fiberglass) I have a Land Rover Defender that tows an Eriba Puck and a Land Rover LR3 that tows an Eriba Triton.
I've owned a Boler and a U-Haul that I towed with the Defender - mileage varied widely due to velocity and hills since it has the aerodynamic qualities of a barn. Anything over 60 mph just burned more fuel.

I find it interesting that no one who has a Chevy TV has posted.
Tow Vehicle: 1996 Chevy Suburban 4X4 (Retired November 2014- 285,000 mi)
5.7 L V8
Trailer: 13' Trillium
Towing MPG: 12
Highway MPG: 15
New TV 2006 Chevy Trailblazer 4X4 - 4.2L I6
Haven't had a chance to get out with the new TV, but I hope the MPG is better.
Thanks for the list Norm. I find it very informative.
