Above is not a scientific test but makes the point nonetheless. A larger and heavier trailer can be more fuel efficient by simply being more aerodynamic.

Just FYI for anyone here new to towing rvs!
That vehicle in these photos is probably not adequate for either of the TTs shown, regardless of their aerodynamics. Those vans are great people mover grocery getters but were never designed to tow big heavy rectangular boxes where a WDH is mandatory.
Sorry for the hijack! Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
If you want better aerodynamics get an Airstream! All aluminum, lightweight, shaped like a giant Twinky, next to no outdoor storage, indoor storage is all rounded making difficult to store square boxes, if taller than about 5'10" it's difficult to walk end to end without a few bumps & VERY pricey.
If you think rving is going to be cheap travel with relaxing time spent at a campground, you'd better rethink rv ownership! It's expensive, not only for fuel for a motorhome or tow vehicle after the initial purchase, there's ALWAYS something you need, or think you do, & ALWAYS something to repair, replace or redo, it's a home on wheels suffering from earthquake like conditions every mile you travel.
There's 2 major requirements for rv ownership, tools & a credit card, these 2 items will get more use than anything else you may carry with you!
