Thanks for noticing. I just got back from a 600 mile trip intp Pa. with a new to me vintage Apache tent camper. Most important lesson learned was the importance of the aerodynamics of the teardrop shape. My vw trike should have had plenty of power available to pull a 450lb trailer, but I couldn't maintain 70 mph up the hills on the interstate unless I stayed close behind a semi. The new trailer is a rectangular box 4' wide, 2' tall, and 7' long sitting up on 8" wheels. Probably the worst shape possible! My next trailer will surely be teardrop shaped, maybe even a compound curve at the nose for the least potential drag.
