Back to a collapsible tail, but the curved nose is instructive. |
I was thinking of it as adding useful interior space (
Bonus) and saving one's neck and back from excessive crouching.
The tidbits about a collapsible tail are good, and think that I already mentioned a box cavity tail in passing.

Might add boat tail flaps on rear, once the body of the trailer is finished (dont have the rear door/ramp thought out yet).

Another route (Alternate-2) could be build your simple box (
not even with the front nose complexity you have expressed a desire for), but radius the front and side corners.
Using this approach you will not be adding any "frontal area" and will have taken steps to tame vortexes created by differing air pressure at 90 degree plane intersections (corners).
Oh, and of course add a box cavity similar to a tractor trailer.
I've posted where to source these curved trailer parts at least one other time in the forum, let me see if I can find it again.
EDIT: Here we go, used phrase "curve box trailer".
