    Hey Folks,

    With the price of fuel, I'm considering mounting my iKamper mini on my Prius V for a road trip this summer. I know this will hurt my fuel economy. But it will definitely be less for the gas than pulling my Space trailer w/ iKamper mini behind my usual tow vehicle, a Sub Forester 07 LL Bean edition.

    I don't have a roof rack up there yet, so input on which one is best for these vehicles would be great.

    Thanks in advance!

    my only concern would be the head gasket. how many miles on her?

    135K so far. I'll check my records. I think I may have covered that recently enough.

    "Covered" in what sense? Were the EGR passages of the intake manifold cleaned out already?
