With only a 6’ total width, and the tires just barely with that width, I’m inclined to keep stability a primary importance. The trailer will be low, with the center of mass of the live load as low as possible. Still I’d like to keep any cross wind effects to a minimum. I’ve driven in some situations where cross winds really shoved my long wheelbase 8000lb l tow vehicle around. My modest wheelbase 5200 lb SUV will only be more susceptible

Well, the idea should be to integrate the flows across both vehicles so they act as one with no bobbles or swirls at the join. Probably not something that is obvious to accomplish.
I have had trailers that make my7880# CC F250 try to change lanes in winds that didn't bother my 4000# surfer van in the least.
