is there any formula based on the vehicle length? i have a 1978 25ft.pace arrow
and remembered that your rv is that size also.so,how did you arrive at your
fishtails length? what confused me was reading about that european trucking
groups 53ft.trailer and their fishtail.they sized theirs at 2 meters or 6ft.and said
it was the correct size for getting the lowest drag.now i'm thinking,if they are
correct,does that apply to any sized vehicle? anyway,i know you have been
asked this question before but i figured to ask again since you are the man.
regards,brian.
