[HAM] Trailer

[joe d]

Consider the vehicle towing the trailer too as it will put some wear on that 
transmission and engine.
When hauling, turn that overdrive off.

I dunno, a smallish touring act should prob use a trailer, but sometimes a 
cargo van is really more ideal for local playing/loading (distribute weight 
better - less wear on the vehicle/tranny/engine pulling a trailer).

MPG suffers heavily as well with a trailer (pulling).

good luck
