Returned UK yesterday c/w trailer(IFT P6) laden with about 10cwt of 'stuff' - 11.5cwt all up.

Filled up at a Supermarket about 2 miles from port @ Roscoff - used the auto pilot up the dual carriageway Plymouth / M/way to within 10 miles my mum's place - the car sailed up the Devon banks(backside Telegraph Hill etc) at a steady 70(looks round sheepishly) and then the M5 at 75 - mfd indicated mpg 46.7 - filled up to same point in spout 19.1 litres - covered 195 miles - 10.21 miles / litre - actual 46.4 --- well pleased with this effort

Not bad, but it does depend on how big the trailer is.

Beware of those speeds on the M5, the Police forces down that way are very pro-active over towing speeding.

And finally, towing weights is one area that we have metricated!!

Trailer a mod'ed P6 bed 2m x 1.2m x 0.7m walls on big balloon tyres

Wgts 0.5tonne stuff 0.75ish all up

Well aware of plods escapades in Sth Avon / Somerset / Devon - lots of unmarked cars - beamers peugeots etc

Also anyone any ideas, was passed by a very flashy Range Rover Sport in White, with Ferrari logo's etc and a reg of F1 OOD (or OOO) Am aware Mansell lives somewhere in Devon - just curious

Pictures?! I'd love to see a Yeti with a big trailer like that! Yes I'm sad!

Now back chez nous, pics attached, after return with about a tonne all up(above recommended weight for unbraked rig) - car handled it brilliantly, Telegraph hill summit(by the racecourse) sth Exeter at about 40mph in 4th starting at about 65 - well pleased as 3 peeps a dog and a large B&O (35-40kg)crt tv on board.

The trailer is a standard Ifor Williams P6 unbraked unit with a front ladder rack and coachbuilt(sort of) side extensions giving an overall sidewall height of 70cm with a bed size of 2.00 x 1.20 c/w purpose prepared cover(local tarp repairer/mftrer) - the whole runs on balloon tyres to increase carrying capacity - suppose the whole kit cost about £600 - trailer fleabay bargain along with ply for sides again fleabay.

My froggy neighbours are well impressed as Daxara etc here are slightly cheaper but, very flimsy in comparison - in fact a local grass cutter / garden maintenance friend wants a twin axle job if one crops up!

That is a ver butch trailer! I like it very much! One day hopefully I can upgrade my French built Franc trailer to a lovely built-in-Wales Ifor!
