Frontal Sq'
Is there a formula for calculating it for a curved front TT? I called Coachmen to get the frontal sq' of the 192RBS during my researching and they don't have any idea. All they could tell me is "if ...

I suspect what the OP is trying to justify is towing a 192RBS like mine with his V6 Ranger rather than his F250.

I suspect you are correct, since Ford says the 2011 Ranger is limited to 50 sq ft of frontal area.

I think he's asking this question because he wants to do his homework, which is a good thing. I suspect he'll find that while the Ranger will do what he's asking of it--short, lightly loaded trips--the F-250 with it's longer wheelbase is way more capable, and it'll be the truck of choice for every trip.
In another thread started by the same OP about the Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS he said -
"We are looking at it for a full-time unit for travel in the lower 48 and possibly Canada and Alaska if we want. It will be towed by an F250 diesel with a Harley in the truck bed for the most part. I also like that it can be towed by our Ranger, 5,900lb tow capacity, with a moderate load out for local and weekend play too."
He later declared in the same thread he's not concerned at all about towing a 192RBS with his Ranger so this isn't "homework", if anything this question about frontal square footage is really an attempt to justify that it will work to his satisfaction. My belief is he'll be disappointed.
