Looking at buying an enclosed trailer. What do you think is a good trailer? Are "V" fronts really worth it. Trailer will be pulled 300 miles 1 way on longest trips. Looking at 6x12 or 7x10. Thanks.

Rounding of all edges and corners is as much of a wind advantage as a pointy front. Square corners and edges cause tubulent air drag and increase the effect of side winds. U-Haul has an excellent design.

Rounded edges will be fine. What ever you decide on, I would recommend tandem axles. You will never regret this. When I got my first, I was sold on the cheapest way to go. Then I was told about how much they will bounce and decided to step up to tandems. My first trip I forgot a 3/4 full can of soda on the floor in the back of the trailer. After 30 miles, some in town, I arrived to find my soda can still upright and still 3/4 full. Good luck.
