RS Trailer Towing Milage...

[Lamonster]

While I have your ear, there's another question.

Would any of you put a full rotopax in your trailer?
Wondering about the fumes...

Yes, two of them and zero fumes :thumbup:

On my RS I get about 31 mpg and on the RT about 26mpg

I bought a trailer and trying to figure out kind of mileage can be expected. The trailer weighs 165 lbs and figure to put around 150 lbs in it for a total weight of around 315 lbs pulled.

We went out this weekend with the trailer packed with 90 lbs of bottled water and another 40 lbs of stuff for a total of 130 cargo weight. Had the little windshield on, not my touring one. Spydee's milage was about 27 mpg.

What type of mpg are y'all getting with a fully loaded trailer?

I pulled my 28 cubic foot, cargo trailer from Home to LA and back and had an average of 30 mpg.. Now that was on the RS. I would, without the trailer get around 32-34 mpg depending upon my right hand movement.
I found that mountain, or hills, will have a dramatic effect on mileage, regardless with or without trailer.

Glad to know the Rotopax doesn't leak fumes. It was going to be a pain to carry them on top of the trailer. Making sure there's no slop on them before putting them in.

Seems between 28 - 30 mpg is the norm for RS's pulling a trailer on the straight and level. Going to Try to limit my right hand movement...
