You could decrease the height of the bike/trailer by making arrangements
to carry the bike with its wheels unmounted... could reduce height by,
maybe 10 inches. Folks carrying bicycles do this all the time.

It would make the loading/unloading slower/cumbersome. But you only do
that at either end of the trip. The trailer cover would have to be mounted
after the bike was attached to the trailer itself.

The hold down method for the wheelless bike would also hold it
securely and rigidly to the trailer.
