Location: sc | what motor do you have? the gmc (d/a is dmax/allison) in my sig gets 13.5mpg pulling the trailer in my sig......but then so did the trailblazer. i would curious about the shell, should improve aerodynamics, probably not enough to matter to the engine though.

Location: Hagerstown, MD | I don't think the camper shell will affect your milage while you are towing the horse trailer. It might have a SMALL effect on milage on a long trip when you are not towing. Happy trails. |

| The RV'ers & race car hauler guys say that with a bumper pull trailer, they get much better economy with a camper shell on.
But running bobtail, it can cut 2 MPG off......
