May I ask what truck you're pulling with, and, if it's a 3/4 ton, have you noted how much your truck squats after you've loaded your car(before with empty trailer, versus after with car loaded)?

BYRON,
I HAVE A 2006 FORD SUPERDUTY 3/4 TON, I ALSO HAVE A 4INCH LIFT AND 36"TIRES. THE TRUCK COMES DOWN A INCH OR TWO BUT NOT ALOT, IT PULLS GREAT THOUGH, HARDLY KNOW ITS THERE ONCE UP TO SPEED, I HAVE THE SMALL V8 IN THE TRUCK AND IT KILLS THE MPG A BIT, 9 MPG IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS PULLING, BUT THATS 70-75 MPH TOO.

Here is an SPF inside a 14' Serpent Express.

Note the front door seam related to the front trailer tire.

(Car center of gravity is ahead of center between trailer tires.)



"...we just got back from the London, Ohio Cobra show. We pulled the trailer and car approx. 1000 miles and averaged about 12.5 mpg with our F-150 4-wheel drive. which isn't too bad considering we usually only get 16 mpg on the highway with the air conditioning on. So it cost us about 3.5 mpg. I am very happy with that mileage. The trailer got a lot of exposure at the show and serveral guys were very interested in the trailer. I wouldn't be suprised if you get a few orders out of it. Overall the trailer is everything that I expected and more. June 28, 2005 James D."

Larry;

I really like the efficiency that the Serpent Express apparently has! This is a great idea that was brilliantly implemented.

I looked at these with great interest, but decided that it wouldn't satisfy a major requirement we have -- the ability to provide more secure overnight storage while away from home. We'll be taking our cobra to events that will keep us on the road for several days at a time. Having a mobile "garage away from home" was the main point to the whole trailer thing for us.
