Taking a trailer with on holiday

[upup]

I got a 6 feet karet trailer. We are going to travel 2000 km to the sea and back. My wife want to take a lot of stuff with. She started to pack,. I told her, because it is just us two, that we can leave the trailer at home. I think the trailer will me the car use more fuel, it is a petrol 1500cc car. We are going to stay in a holiday home for 2 weeks

 

[bwana]

Yes.

 

[Steamy Tom]

Leave your wife at home, should be more enjoyable

 

[WAslayer]

Massive

 

[Captain Beer]

Leave the wife at home. Take the trailer.

Leave the wife at home. Take the trailer.

You guys clearly haven’t experienced upup. I sympathize with the wife for having to tolerate a 4000km drive and 2 weeks with him. Maybe she wants the trailer to shut herself away.

Maybe she wants the trailer to shut herself away.

I hope it's a double axle.

 

[RedViking]

Are you sure she is not planning to stay there?

I sympathize for your poor maths skills

You misunderstand...with upup , 2 000km's will feel like 4 000 km's.

Put your foot down. No trailer. One suitcase for both of you. 2 coolerboxes.

How much heavier is a car on fuel with a venter trailer. Car without trailer 13 km/liter. Car with trailer = x km/liter

You don't know my wife , she packs.

Sorry Uncle. Should have bent that tree when she was young.

Check your wheelbearings on the trailer before you leave.

Depends how much stop-start driving you have to do. Drag isn't significant, but the extra weight to accelerate is.

And while my math's confuse some of you, Destination is the eastern cape / garden route , and people we know there tells us to rather stay at home because of covid.
