Ah, thanks Bruce. Interesting stuff. Wow, sounds like you've done a lot of work!!
Yeah, the boattail trailer is an intriguing idea - especially if you're doing primarily highway driving. I'll bet it would get really old really fast if you had to negotiate tight spaces & back up a lot!!
I've been thinking about a way to boattail my Jimmy, but to follow the "template", as aerohead has supplied, it would have to be either really long or else only a partial. The trouble with the trailer, other than the manuevering, is the extra drag from the extra two tires, and trying to make it so it can turn but not have a big gap when going straight.
There was a pretty long thread on here I read the other day, and wow - lots of designing!!!! Can't remember who it was doing it & who it was helping with the design - - - I want to say MetroMPG was involved, but couldn't swear to it.
