11 mpg on the way home with the wind behind me 
It's a little over 5,000 empty. 10,000 GVW.
I got 11 mpg with my open trailer in my '08 F-150. I was bucking a 30 mph wind on the way down 
No I don't. Might need to get it into the trailer store to measure it?
What is the trailer weight empty? I am am guessing around 3500-4000. Mine weighs 2100 and I'm also carrying gas, tires etc to the track with the 5.0. I got 13.3 going to Homestead last month door to door mostly highway with cruise control on at 67. Return trip 13.9 without cruise and more traffic 65-70. Sebring is secondary roads with few lights and I get 14.6 pulling the Boss there around 55-65.
Seems like a big difference for two or even three thousand pounds? I know an enclosed trailer has more wind resistance but 5.2 really surprises me.

Anyhow, once it gets warmer I'll have a tougher time deciding whether to take the Boss out or my Harley... it's a tough choice, but I guess I'll suffer through!
I took these real quick with my phone, so I'll try and get some better ones with a real camera once I find a nice spot close to where I live.

Thanks, the white and black really are a great combo. It's actually pretty funny now that I think about it... My first Mustang was a black 84 GT with t-tops and my last one before the Boss was a white 92 GT, so maybe that's where the inspiration came from, haha.

Drove MAM yesterday.
Stayed overnight at Offutt Air Force Base, which was originally an Army Fort. They put me in Distinguished Visitor quarters on the parade ground--pretty nice for a retired guy! Building was built in 1895.
General Officers live on this street in similar houses that are duplexes--you have to be a 3 or 4 start to get a house to yourself!

I'm purchasing a 24' this week, and will be putting in a winch myself. Any more pictures you have of the interior, storage, and winch would be greatly appreciated.

One thing I did notice was the excessive amount of body roll and brake dive. Being harnessed in a race seat really makes it more noticeable than when I was focused on bracing myself in the seat going into turns last season. I hope FRPP comes out with their new Boss springs soon.

P.S. these are the ebay seller's pics, not mine. I keep it a little cleaner and have some really sweet Mac's tie downs.
