An adaptation of Don-Bur teardrop profile is added on top of the flat trailer top. And at the end there are hinged foldaway panels that extend the trailer for your on road long-tail configuration. Front & rear spats for the bogeys, and wheel covers compliment the whole package.

Take your pick or add all of the aero treatments.

(Conceptual ideas only)


If you ever decide to build it, if I can be of any help, let me know. You may want to look at getting a patent and then approach some trailer manufacturers.

Again, great concept!
