Yes, the corners mean a lot, even with the cross section of the trailer within the cross section of the Grand Cherokee. My design described originally in this thread has a full round 32” radius front section (top view) like the Aerovault trailers.

There is no need for such a heavily rounded upper section (in profile) as the Aerovault since the top of the designed trailer is 5” below the top trailing edge of the Grand Cherokee roofline.

The full rounded top view shape was intended to minimize the destabilizing effect of cross winds. It’s debatable whether that is worth it. The front of the rounded shape would be within 20” of the bumper of the Jeep. I have a minor aesthetic interest in that shape as well.
