Aerodynamics Matter !!
Hello All. First post here... wanted to share some data on aerodynamics. I am designing an ultralight (under 100 lbs/ft) small travel trailer and wanted to find out the effect of shape on aerodyna...

Now how are you going to improve on that and still give me all the room/space/storage etc that I currently have?
That is why I posted in the 'Small TT's' section. Sounds like you are doing fine with what you have.

I guess I should have clarified... This design is targeted to travelers with smaller TV's interested in a unit under 100 pounds per linear foot of dry weight. One element of this design is the aerodynamics which I thought was worth sharing my findings.
I would rather get 15-20 MPG and safely travelling with a lighter unit not as affected by cross winds and not killing my TV which is probably also my commuter vehicle and grocery getter.
Will that take some compromise? Definitely.
