A Vee nose does help, especially if your under trucked like a 1500 at its limit. Your fine with a 32500, pull a 2 car trailer with a 2500. The Vee does cut through the wind and also help stabalize the trailer. Just trying holding sheet of plywood infront of your body and run into the wind! Simple math there.

You do loose a lot of room up front though.

If this would have been last week i had a smokin deal on a 24' Halmark, 2008 model for $4000. Look around, there are some deals.

How much more room do you get in a V-nose.

I had a trailer that was a 24' with a slight V. It measured about 25 1/2' in the center, inside the trailer. Be SURE to get a trailer with the 10,000 lb GVW- it will have 5,000 lb axles. The 7,000 GVW trailers will be marginal with anything more than just a car. I agree that 24' is the ideal size. If you're buying used, make sure to check the frame and especially the tires. A weight distributing hitch makes for nicer towing too.
