Put the TV + trailer through a tight turn and a dip in the road too, to look at clearances. My front end angle suggestion wasn't as much for style as it was for closing up the TV/trailer gap, which is an aero BIGGIE.

The height is definitely more important than the shape. If there is excess height in there for the sole purpose of keeping true to that roof arc, it is adding much excess frontal area, not only straight on, but that catches x-winds too. Pick a desired interior height (I'd pick 6'6" but that's me) and lop that roof arch off straight. See what that looks like.
