They are nice, but I'm looking to stay in the air shadow of the Prius. This trailer seems to be higher than the spoiler and the outrigger wheels and fenders present an unnecessary obstruction to the air stream.

I suggested it for the method of construction of the shell. Not the overall dimensions and outboard fenders. Take what you need and leave the rest. 
Another [non-hexagonal] stressed-skin approach, just channel it over the trailer frame:

Unless there is an air-tight seal to the back of the tow vehicle, making it a little larger might benefit reattachment of the air flow. In a cross-flow condition would bigger or smaller be better?
