Touring w/trailer: Fairing or No?

The war has started, God help us, but I've still got a recumbent question.

I'm probably going to be doing a tour in about four weeks on my Haluzak, and I'll be towing a Burley
trailer--two wheels. It seems that with the overall reduced speeds, weight, wind resistance of the
trailer, etc., that I'm better off just leaving the fairing. I figure I'll shave 2/3 lbs. and be
better off in the long run. What do you think?

can you easily remove the fairing and put ONTO the cargo trailer? A tour in the Spring might have
stong winds and damp or rainy weather where a fairing will come in handy and then remove it when
the sun is out and the winds are low. Onto meaning bungee it onto the trailer front so the trailer
is faired.

Maybe--good idea, Joshua. I'll look into it.
