I won’t pretend to be an expert, but there have been a number of studies showing that the biggest hit to towing range is the aero drag, not the weight. So…. Given the relative similarities between the different Airstream trailers, I’d expect the 19’ to be similar to the 25’.

As an owner of a 25’ Airstream, I’m still happy about these results. There still doesn’t seem to be a ton of data (even from this video), but I’d be interested in running it pegged to 60mph and seeing how it does.
Yes, aero is more important than mass weight. But weight is also important, basic physics is still no change, moving X amount of weight through Y amount of distance still need Z amount of energy. At the similar aero,more weight means need more energy. But i don't know it is lineal or not. That needs more testing. If shorter means better aero, then 19 AS will be more energy save than 25 one, thus end with longer range.
