Hi Guys, This may be a silly question but can you trailer
the P5 with the Fabric Rear Panel?? I don't think it would be a good idea but just wondering if anybody's tried it.

I have the fabric rear panel and have not hauled the p5 w/ it on. I plan to take it off in the spring so the plan is, put it on in the winter for plowing, no towing. take the panel off in the spring and then I can haul it for trail riding. I will also take off the fabric doors in the spring. The roof and windshield will stay on.

55-60mph with full wind shield and back panel and hasn't hurt anything but the gas mileage! 700-4

Yeah, gas mileage sucks when you are towing anyways. My car only has a 1.6 liter engine so I need to get a better tow vehicle. It's OK for a short trip but I would not want to bring it on the long haul.

I trailer with front windshield, side soft doors and rear panel and hard roof at speed 60 mph or below. So far no problems.

I haven't trailered my P500 very far but I just unzipped and rolled up the center section when trailering and had no issues with the full windshield and roof on keeping the majority of wind off of it.

I have the full windshield, Hard roof, Soft doors and Rear panel. I makesure the windows in the doors and rear panel are open. But i only haul it about 20 miles and its only 40-50 mph. The doors is what worries me, however i feel going 40-50 shouldnt matter because your P5 goes 40-50 mph. So they should be made to withstand that much wind.
