a newer 25 with a highlander is a great example...

of totally wacky towing combos.

zimode...

the reason many vehicle towing capacity/limit/guides are slightly higher when pulling a boat are...

1. frontal air resistance.

2. tongue mass and axle postioning on boat trailers.

3. distance travels might be part of the issue too but not explicitly.

'stream are more airflow friendly than boxes, but frontal resistance is still an issue.
_______________

on the combined tank issue, that would be a TOTAL deal breaker 4me...

one might get by with a LARGER combined tank (which some 28s have) because of capacity....

but the tank is SO small on the 16s....

also 16s only have ONE battery right?

so realistically boondocking is very limited, unless accomidations are made for these issues..

like solar or extra batteries or carrying an auxillary blue tote for water (or not bathing or using electric) ...

but ALL of these issues will add significant weight (or odors) to the hihy/bambi equation.

best of luck sorting this out, stay safe, remember where u live and understand what liability u are willing to accept...

cheers
