I have to agree. The roof is say 9' above ground (plane of symmetry). The sides are say 3.5' from the center (plane of symmetry) of the RV. The sides present more surface area to free air. I'd expect more gains from side work. That said, the UK teardrop trucker guys seem more interested in curving the one high roof than the two tall sides.
