Check out my recent post in the Foamie Aerodynamics thread:

The @ 13th, 14th, 15th, 22nd, 32nd through 35th and 45th pics,
Counted Of The Trailer Pics Only, show good rear- end body taper
and the 14th and 15th trailer pics show very good 'aero' fronts on
the trailers - even though all of them look to have good attempts
in that area, the ones mentioned are especially good too, in my view,
as their front edges dip down below the top plane of the tow vehicle
roof, and they have a narrow prow beginning for the trailer body.
And these were lightweight, especially for their larger size,
comparatively. Remember, they utilized early aircraft design
principals, materials and construction methods adapted for use in
trailer construction.
These could all be referenced/adapted for a Foamie 5th wheel too.
