Aerodynamics Matter !!
Hello All. First post here... wanted to share some data on aerodynamics. I am designing an ultralight (under 100 lbs/ft) small travel trailer and wanted to find out the effect of shape on aerodyna...

I've towed a 6x12 v-nose converted cargo trailer (2400 lbs loaded), a 23' sloped, flat front camper (3800 lbs loaded), and a 21' curved front camper (4300 lbs loaded) with the same truck. I got about 12mpg with the v-nose and 10 mpg with the other two. The v-nose was 90 degrees if I remember correctly. The only difference is the cargo trailer did not have a W/D hitch. I keep to 65mph on the interstates.
