I think that I am finally going to pick up a prowler and have a couple of questions I hope someone can help me out with.

First, has anyone ever used or tried to use a U-haul car trailer to tow their prowler with? Can you get the prowler on the trailer without extra boards for ramps? Any other tips?

Second, if I decide to drive the prowler home (1100 miles) how often can I expect to stop for gas? If I remember correctly they are rated 15 city 18 highway. Is that realistic?

I've seen pictures on this site of prowlers on U-haul trailers, but I believe there are a couple of styles of those trailers around. The lower deck height the better.

Yes, 200 miles on a tank of fuel is a good estimate.

The battery should last as long in this car as any other. You just need to pay a little attention to it if the car sits.

Yes I have seen 2 guy's haul there car on a U Haul, not sure about loading without some boards for extra clearance.

Gas mileage.....many of the gauges are not acturate, so do not trust it. The best thing is to fill it up and after the 1st 150 miles fill it up and figure mileage.

I can go 175~200 miles pulling my trailer with AC on without problem of running out of fuel.

My last long trip I run with it locked in autostick, 4th gear, and my mileage was 22~24 MPG pulling the trailer at over 70MPH. This gives you 200 miles with some fuel to spare. (1) I do not like to walk for fuel, (2) running it empty is hard on fuel pump (mounted in tank and the gas helps cool it) and (3) picking up junk that could be in the tank and clog the filters.
