With the recent talk about towing I started to think about my enclosed
16' Haulmark. I wonder why most all the manufacturers built essentially
the same trailer (are they all made in the same factory and different
names are put on them Pace, Haulmark, etc?) which to me, and I know
absolutely nothing about air drag or aerodynamics, seems to be very
inefficient with the large flat front. Reminds me of trying to tow a
small building. Other things that must cut through the wind are
pointed or rounded (like boats and airplanes). So why aren't the car
hauling
trailers made that way? Most horse and some travel trailers have a nice
rounded front, which looks as though they would be more efficient.
What about the wings mounted on the roof of the tow
vehicle that claim to cut down on air drag. Do they work?
