Forum Discussion
I own a Windjammer 3008W. The V nose design caught our attention and I heard claims of increased fuel mileage from salesmen, none of whom could substantiate their claims. I talked with a couple of engineering associates about the drag issue and the consensus was basically any decrease in front drag due to the V shape will be offset by increased side drag.
We eventually purchased the V nose trailer because of the interior layout. Ours utilizes the front V space for the kitchen sink and counterspace that would otherwise be lost. We love the layout. As for towing stability, I find it tows much better than my previous flat front trailer. But I have an Equalizer 4 point WDH setup on this trailer that is also much better than the WDH setup I had on the older one so I cannot compare apples to apples. I think my better towing is more a function of a much better WDH than the V front design.
