Been hauling a V nose trailer since 2009. In ours, the kitchen is in the nose. This gives more counter space and a more spacious feel.

As to the comment about large trucks not using v-fronts, I can remember hauling trailers back in the day with round or slanted fronts. They stopped using them when palletized loads became more common in shipping.
