Or is it not really worth it?
I would be towing a 2017 teryx4 with approx. 80in height and a full windshield on a 16ft total length tandem axel trailer. its an old demod RV that I've just scored, added bracing, cut some length off and added fenders. Currently gonna sand/prep metal for paint and add the decking.
I couldn't find much so thought id ask the experts.

BamZipPow's T-100 kit,and integral one-wheel aero trailer has pushed his mpg,from 19 HWY,to over 30 HWY if I remember correctly.He's got his own thread.
I failed to properly tighten the lugnuts on my 2-wheeler and lost a wheel when testing,and I've never repaired the damage an re-tested.The trailer,so far, doesn't reduce the mpg at all.
The first trailer dropped the mpg of my CRX from 52,to an average 50 mpg, while running 'empty',then with a quarter-ton of batteries,from Texas out to California and back.
I'll be simulating a 1-wheeler when I go back to the wind tunnel in a year.I'm shooting for Cd 0.14.
