What is better V nose or convex front on trailer?

What is the feeling out there , a sales guy told me that a convex front on trailer is better than a V nose for fuel economy, With bumper hitch.

Seems to me that a V-nose would cut through the wind better than a rounded front. I think either would be better than a plain flat nose. I have a V-nose trailer....

i have a 18ft V-nose and had it loaded with about 10klbs (trailer+toys) and got 16.4MPG from Mobile AL to Memphis TN. Plus that extra 2-3ft of room makes alot of differance. the front of a flat nose trailer is just a waist of space, the V-Nose utilizes that space.

I'd say they are both alot better than flat,seems that the V-Nose would be a little better,but thats just what makes sense to me.

We had both, Wells Cargo with a convex front and a Millenium v-nose. The v-nose is the better setup.
