That Don-Bur trailer raises an old question for the pending rebuild of my old and very square trailer. If I increase the frontal area by 'adding a bubble' matching the template atop the original square-edged roof, or for that matter, the sides, would it be reasonable to expect a net improvement? I think so, and cutting down the stout frame of my box-body trailer would be much harder than adding to it (and gaining some storage cavities).
