Thanks!
It's interesting that today's Basecamp model looks a LOT like a truncated version of the "original" teardrop. T@B came and went recently (and may rise again) with some noteworthy modernizations. But they got the nose wrong IMHO. Plan curvature was more useful inside with better aero outside. If only they Kammed the back and radiused edges for smooth recombination (instead of Vortex antagonisms) it would've been perfect. Still dang good, best in class, and far ahead of its time.
As for nose storage over the pin with a nose extension think stuff that folding chairs, dutch oven, BBQ grill & fuel, leveling blocks, wheel chocks, jack, tire iron, the spare tire maybe even, camp rake, small shovel, axe, bow saw, etc. It depends how you intend to use the trailer of course.
