I'm sure there is drag from the vacuum formed at the rear of any vehicle but it is created by the wind on the frontal area. Whether V-nose or not, that drag can never be greater than the front force. I have real proof that the v-nose gets better gas mileage and it tows better with the Equal-i-zer hitch than the others I have did with the Reese dual cam. In any case, I bought it for the floor plan and am grateful for the improved mpg. I've not experienced the stability issue thewhitehat experienced. "MOST of the drag a trailer experiences comes from the rear of the trailer..." Really?
Think of a 6" wooden block vehicle with two axles. Would it move backward farther/faster when blown in front by a hair dryer if it had a flat front or v-front? I've not tried it so I don't have the actual answer. Other theories should also be proven before stated as fact.
