That's the same trailer I had years ago. Except mine had 8" wheels which spun welded a bearing at low miles, low load, and low speed. The upsized 12" wheels are a huge improvement.
The other problem I had was both fenders fatigue failed early. Maybe the enclosure will prevent that failure mode too.

Given the short wheel bases and relatively tall tail height of the Prius (and thus matching nose height of trailer) I'd suggest generous allowance for pitching angle (upwards of course) to prevent the trailer from tagging the car.
I'm particularly curious to see how this rig will look from above.
Rock on!
