*If the trailer were sized as a box-cavity or streamlined it could conceivably lower the overall drag of the combination,as BamZipPow is experiencing with his 1-wheeler.
*Here are some values for some commercial vehicles.You can see that even 'conventional' trailers have relatively low drag.
*And you can also see the contribution of the full gap-filler.
