ALL edges need to be radiused. Trailers exist in crosswinds, and many problems result from air not being able to slip over the trailer.

A heavy quartering crosswind is the hardest to deal with, especially gusting.

Some recommend installing an airspeed indicator just to be able to read what is happening.

All radiused edges -- on a trailer -- is more important than teardrop shape. A teardrop cargo trailer might be okay, but not in a TT being used for more than a 3-day trip. (See SILVER STREAK Clipper, above).
