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.

We are delighted that our Teardrop roof shape should reach the hallowed halls of Ecomodder; however, you should note that the Don-Bur Teardrop is protected under Registered Design 000709423-0001 and patent 0707243.2.
You may ask - "hasn't this been done before with the Teardrop trailers being pulled behind cars?". The answer is that with the domenstic versions, the Teardrop shape encompases just the trailer. The Don-Bur Teardrop shape encompases the entire vehicle and, as such, forms a smooth curve over both tractive unit and trailer.
We will prosecute any individuals found to be infriging our copyright and/or patent.
