A-liners, anyone?

About frontal area: I got 16-17 mpg towing the Aliner, 14.3 with the Burro (OK to Ouray to Arches to Zion & back), and 11-12 with a boxy conventional KZ travel trailer. All with the HL, around 60 mph. The Burro was a foot wider than a Scamp or Casita, so I'd expect about 15 with one of those. The mpg difference is attributable to the frontal area. From that data I conclude that an 'egg' trailer is not much less aero than a popup box; even though it's taller, it is rounded and slippery.
