Welcome, and you know today as I was drafting a lawn service trailer I was thinking about making enclosed trailers more FE. Here are some radical ideas to have some fun with.

-Build a nose on the trailer to curve the wind around that front.
-Mold the forward edge of the fender into the trailer, for smoother air flow
-Increase trailer tire psi to max
-Build a skirt for the wheel well
-Build a large boat tail for the trailer hinged on one side so you can still access the main door to load and unload

Sorry to jack your thread, but you gave me flashbacks of this morning ...

Again welcome ..
