Understood about the "regional driving" as I guess you may call it. The suggestion I had made I've further read upon and found that a horse trailer with living quarters converted to a "toyhauler" might be the way to go for those interested in that. But cargo weight/size will determine if it would work. Not cheap, but highly rugged (compared to a conventional toyhauler).

The GN configuration trailer will do better than most trailers since you have that interior height requirement. It would be my choice if one could mod the rig as shown in that fantastic drawing above.

A custom trailer is beaucoup money, unfortunately. Maybe a used 3-4 horse trailer could be adapted? If those are all too tall, then maybe other, lower, stock trailers.
