Basically the question above.
I dont understand the reasing behind this.
Especially in regard to the heavier weight of campers. Shouldnt it be the other way?
In: Engineering
1: Campers don’t need to look pretty.
2: They also are unpowered and don’t need the additional traction to put power to a road that a car needs.
3: weight carrying capacity and tire diameter aren’t 100% correlated.
4: tires that are smaller than the towing vehicle means that the frame geometry can be simpler and still allow for a level trailer when loaded.
5: smaller tires are cheaper
Lots of other reasons as well but those are the main 5 I can come up with.
