And that, fully loaded, usually runs 2,500 pounds, so they are a very, very light trailer and we pride ourselves for keeping such amazing quality and keeping it as light as possible. We really pride ourselves on the fact that a lot of people will see little change in their fuel mileage while hauling our trailer - the increase will be somewhere from 1/2 mile per gallon to 2 miles per gallon.
