Bryce Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Tape measure from tire to tire = 4' 10". Lets assume mininmal framing of 1 1/2" on each side. Down to 4' 7" inside shack. This assumes zero clearance between trailer tire and framing. Lets use a conservative figure of 3" on each side. Guess my math was bad enjoy that spacious extra inch.I'll agree with the posted chart. Now show me the chart that compares flat front vs increased surface area due to vee. My main point being gas mileage is going to be virtually equal regardless of style front.

My main point being gas mileage is going to be virtually equal regardless of style front. Surface area doesn't matter when figuring out drag, frontal area matters (as in cross section)How much it matters is debatable. A lot of the drag comes from the flat back.There's an idea for someone, a trailer with a v on the front and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
