Most of the drag a trailer experiences comes from the rear of the trailer - there is where the v-shape should be. No one would buy such a trailer, because of the way it would look. Actually, I found out since owning it that a Vnose is one of the most unstable designs for sway. The vshape cuts the wind and sends it coursing down both sides of the trailer, causing it to be very sensitive to the bow waves from passing trucks. That's why I had to invest in a Hensley hitch for stability.
^^^^^ on the money.
A lot aero drag comes from the back. That is why OTR trucks are starting to show up with rear drag options. All in all these things are very very small in the total mileage makeup.
