An awning company could also roll square aluminum tubing and heli-arc it into an Airstream-esque birdcage framework onto which tailored awning fabric could be attached forming a very light,hollow nose cavity add-on.
Awnings stand up to Texas thunderstorms all the time.I see no reason why they wouldn't do fine on the face of a trailer.
Anyway,when time avails itself,I'll get into this one.
We're also going to do a fairing for the rooftop AC unit as orbywan has done.
I think this lays out the future in re trailer towing quite well.
