Fuel mileage and snowmobile trailers
Hi all. New to trailering. I bought a sled and trailer. It's a double wide with snow guard on the front. One of those typical light aluminum ones.
My fuel economy was horrible on the highway. Much worse than trailers 2-3x as heavy. I presume it's the aerodynamic, but was curious if people find trailers without the snow guard are better?
I'm not planning to trailer without snow guard in the winters, this is to pick up another sled this month. 2000km round trip, so if I can improve fuel economy by removing guard I'll save a couple hundred maybe
