One of the major cargo trailer manufacturers published some data a few years ago on V-nose vs a conventional slant nose ( it might have been Wells Cargo, but I can't remember for sure now ). Their finding were that the V nose created turbulance along the sides of the trailer that actually added drag. By comparison, the slant front trailer had a smoother airflow along the sides.
One thing I have wondered about a V nose is it seems to me that a fairly significant percentage of my towing days involve having a quartering/headwind. To my way of thinking, a day like that would be that a V nose would be presenting a totally flat surface to the oncoming wind. I dunno.....just thinking out loud on that.
A buddy has a Vnose cargo trailer, and I do know that on his, because of the way the V "covers" the A-frame rails, it would be difficult to install a WD hitch.
