A curtain-sided trailer for a road vehicle includes a side face, a front face 18 and a movable curtain 22 for opening and closing the side face of the trailer. When closed, the curtain 22 extends over a transition region 32 between the side and front faces of the trailer. The trailer has an air guide 27 with a first portion 28 connected to front face 18 and a second portion 30 spaced from front face 18 and forward of transition region 32, so that air guide 27 defines a curved leading upright edge of the trailer. Second portion 30 of air guide 27 defines an opening through which curtain 22 extends when closed. First and second portions 28, 30 of air guide 27 may be pivotally connected so that second portion 30 may be moved away from transition region 32. Air guide 27 may comprise sheet steel. A road vehicle and modification method are also provided.
