Most traditional teardrops really aren't that aerodynamic. The sketch you have at the top with the tapered sides looks like a great variation on it though.

I think her teardrop became a "tow-along boat-tail"!

I also talked to this guy a while back, who built his second teardrop trailer with aerodynamics in mind.

Yeah I saw your Pics of teardrop you built. Have been thinking of it ever since seeing it.

I am aiming for the "tow-along boat-tail" effect. That is why I am aiming for that shape.

No pic on brokenhammer? I want to see it. Ideas!

Thanks for the link will look at later tonight.

I need a project for winter to keep me busy, I think this may be the one. Plus if I can design it to help mileage on long trips I may just pull it anyway.
