Default RE: Trailer?

My trailer is a 5' x 10' work in progress. I stole the idea of sliding trays from one of my flying buddies and I like them a lot. These are removable which allows me to still use the trailer for the semi-annual trip to the landfill with yard waste, transport a motorcycle or to haul 4' x 8' sheets of whatever from Home Depot. And, yes, it has the obligatory torsion bar suspension which is a must-have in my mind.

This is a walk-in trailer which has the advantage of interior volume but really makes for a LOT of aerodynamic drag as it is much taller than my truck and has the flat front. Though the trailer is light in weight it costs me 10 - 12 miles per gallon. Knowing what I know now I would have bought a Vee-nose with less height.

Does anyone know if there are any body kits available to help streamline the front of a trailer like mine?
