Ive thought of the trailer lifting as your example. Actually have given it a lot of thought. Several items though keep me away from it. The lifting mechanism would not be bad, body/body seal not bad. Split door/hinginge could be a problem. It is kind of like the aframe pop ups, that to make a quick lunch break, one has to "assemble" it. I would rather have an aframe than lifting top.
Tent style though great ideas, beautiful designs at times, I hesitate due to wife and trips to yellowstone, glacier and such.
Ive spent a lot of time on the tntt website, am surprised that no one seems to want a "perfect" design. They want simplicity of construction. I want it all, but designing, building compound curves is not that difficult. I have built several small boats, which take a little thought. Bead and cove strips, thin veneers laminated together, etc. a trailer in a way is just an upside down boat.
