Good to hear from you, and interesting news from across the pond.
I have not started anything new yet, nor finished my active grill system. I simply do not drive the truck enough.
I do have a plan for a proof of concept trailer for the Beetle, so I can test out some of the methods and materials for the big 5th wheel.
My take on the join between tow vehicle and trailer will take a different tack;
I will build a Kammback for starters on the Beetle, and a aero trailer with a power telescoping tongue.
I will be able to pull it up quite close and still navigate typical corners. I will use any additional fairings sparingly.
