Want more power? more lift? more torque? better MPGs?? All in one solution here:

Sorry, I see nothing in my post re MPG.

Just the way its built.

 

It's just ever implied.

 

Yeah that’s the advantage of hiking up a mountain. For the canyon trip just eat all your food, lightens the load considerably!

 

The average household income when that trailer was built was about $5700 so still a good bit of coin back in the day. I do agree though, much more affordable than today.

You got something more than a pile of plastic for your money too.
Thinking back (50 years or so ) with the exception of the exterior lights lenses there was no plastic used in the trailer at all that I can remember.

 

I knew this was clickbait but I still fell for it

 

I live for the last day peak bagging, feels light as a feather and the views are amazing. Then it's a breezy down hill.
