-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 ..
Already have doodled up pictures of the bold items, just never built any of it. A small (light) single rail trailer is more what I need though. That way for longe trips we can take my girl friend's 07 Passat. I wouldn't mind towing 350 lbs behind it, but trying to tow 1000lbs + (even if aero) isn't something I'm interested in trying.
