My wife says the dog must go, so now I need a trailer

Ok, I have the packing manifest as: clothing in totes under the bed platform, dog in the back of the truck (in his crate), kids in the back seat, gear in the trailer, and wife (depending on attitude for the day) in the trailer or front seat. You guys that store wives in the trailer, what is the SOP, do you sedate them or just bind them up really well?

Do any of you know of a source of drawings/specs for a m416 size trailer. I like the style but think I would increase the bed width to 48" then try to scale everthing else up to match. What gage of sheet metal is used for the tub? Lee I noticed in your pic's that they used open channel, anyone know what size of tube (sq. or rect.) would give a equal level of stiffness?

What kind of mileage drop are people getting when pulling a M416 size trailer?

We took a trip from Indiana to Utah and back through the San Juans (about 3400 mls?) I averaged 22.4 mpg for the trip. We averaged about the same to the Outer Banks of NC. That was with the truck stuffed full of stuff.
