Renovation and aerodynamic improvement of a BPW closed trailer

[Christophe]

I found a fun article

Let me guess, without clicking, quibbles?

[Macro]

Macro the answer is most likely yes...remember to remove the wipers all the same

Reverse gear is limited in km/h on EVs, by the way?

Restricted to 17km/h... the test will not be very representative... The influence of aerodynamics at this speed being very minimal...

[Christophe]

Well unleash it!!!!

You are a specialist in thermal unclamping, aren't you?

[Macro]

I'm also getting started.... With a temporary structure on a 20km journey...

Waaaw, not bad at all the upper part !!! Well done Macro!! You see that you learn things here!

Try not to cross the cops... it might just be PTAC level...

ps: remember to close the windows and fold down the mirrors...

[Macro]

960kg... He still had the engine left... 97€ bought 5 years ago €2000, 160 km of good and loyal service sale of salable parts 1850€ 53 €uros discount ... Not bad ....

[Christophe]

Aero is good but safety is better: a priori you load the rear overhang much more than the front of the trailer...so be careful on the road! It could be a severe tack!

But I thought it was a 750 kg your trailer?

[Macro]

Yes 750...Reinforced by me with an axle of 1800 capacity.... And yes it was necessary to move forward to the maximum to have weight on the arrow...The back of the leon was 15 cm from the Caddy ... We needed the Place de la Concorde to turn without it touching... The trip was done at a moderate pace... There was 150kg of cast iron added to the caddy... It worked Very well done...

[Christophe]

Ah ok you had planned it!

Well if physically it went well, that's the main thing!

[Christophe]

Here, here ...
