Of course the bottom line is to drive a little slower - as well as
having the right tyres on the trailer.


I just checked with my friend in Germany and confirmed that 80 km/hour
is their max legal glider trailer towing speed.
If we had the same law, that would be a max speed of only 50 MPH in
the USA.

So as much as the Germans like to drive fast in their cars, they
apparently tow their glider trailers at a reasonable speed.

My strategy is to maintain good tires, a tight hitch, start driving
early and try not to stop (like not stopping to thermal on a cross
country.)
60 MPH gets you there. Save gas / save your glider.
