I need a glider in trailer towed from NY to WA
FWIW... I towed an L-23 in the standard-issue wedge-shaped enclosed trailer.. Once (as Michael Keaton said). It was a nice trailer, but it was by no means a pussycat to tow. At the time I had a Ford Explorer (1994 model), so a big, heavy truck-based SUV. The combined rig was approaching 7,000 lbs but the bigger problem was the surface area. Crosswinds and getting passed by semis induced a fair amount of uncommanded yaw and a lot of nervous moments. I wouldn't consider towing with anything under about 4,000 lbs curb weight and a very solid stance.
