I don't know if you saw this thread: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post383403

I mention it reluctantly, because I haven't updated it in 2 weeks; but a lot of what I had to say is there. There's a lot I haven't touched on, though:
  • curving corrugated materials
  • kitchen cabinets on 4-bar links
  • telescoping canopies and pop tops
  • fiberglass-rod-and-fabric teardrop fenders
As to you questions; I'd go with a blunt nose making it generic instead of tying it irrevocably to one tow vehicle. The superellipse, in case it isn't apparent, is achievable with the 'Roswell' design.

Your Harbor Freight trailer frame is twice as heavy as a purpose-built frame and you may not have thought through the implications of burying a live axle within the floor.
