Herbird. Most people from truckers to campers want to have maximum usable space. A pointy rear shape is bad for that. Also remember that it has only been in the last 10 years that fuel prices have become outrageous. I sold my motorhome when the price went to $1.75, outrageous.
I have been moving for some months. We use a 12 foot 4 wheel flat bed trailer behind our OD vehicle. To enclose it in an ice cream cone would be fruitless.
Once things become stable here we plan on modifying our two wheel motorcycle trailer with an aero shape. It will be a steel frame and maybe a metal skin like a semi-trailer. Welding steel is so easy and light weight I couldn't imagine making one from wood.
