PVC pipe might work to stiffen, frame the fairing?
Otto,the shape of the pool would not lend itself at all to a trailer body,sorry.
The scale of the pool is 'large' enough to form half a trailer body in thermo-formed ABS sheet compound and light.So I was just using it as an illustration as to what is possible.
A person would have to develop the wooden patterns for a vacuum table,and have the rest of the setup to make it happen.
Didn't intend to drag you into a dead-end.
