the hatches are double hinged and completely removable with latches and simple bolts/wing nuts as pivots. side windows are pending a cheap place to buy Plexiglas. The first hatch is for loading simple items (groceries, bags, etc). it comes out in seconds if larger items need to be loaded.

I had to sacrifice some form for functionality. I haul road bikes and mountain bikes weekly so i had to abandon rounded sides for the extra storage space. It ends up at roughly 10 degree slop leading edge to trailing with a slight camber.

no economy results yet. I expect all initial results to vary largely to weather (Minnesota). I'm still hauling around a couple hundred lbs in sandbags for traction so summer will be the first real mpg estimates i want to consider to added/lost efficiency.
