when I first started competing I built one out of a 24ft box. It towed good but it was a little heavy. With a 2450lb car tool box and a few parts I was at 10,500 lbs. My power stroke got 7.5 miles to the gallon and the wind resistance sucked. Traveling over 4000 miles round trip per event was a little hard on the pocket book but it served the purpose and we built it cheap. I stepped up and bought an all alluminum featherlite 26ft v nose 4200lbs empty weight and loaded 8,300lbs and 11 mpg. If you travel short distance's go for it best bang for the buck.
