Given the short wheel bases and relatively tall tail height of the Prius (and thus matching nose height of trailer) I'd suggest generous allowance for pitching angle (upwards of course) to prevent the trailer from tagging the car.
I'm particularly curious to see how this rig will look from above.

KB,the 'integrator' is hollow,shingling over slightly at the gap-filler package interface,allowing the rig to dip inside it when necessary.

I completed the preliminary top/bottom plan-view drawings,plus rear elevation view last night.
I just now made enlargements and will darken the pencil lines with ink and scan/post asap.
Maybe Saturday by the latest.
