side photos with trailer

Took some pics today of the rust bucket for the template test... should be interesting.
And took some with the trailer on and topper up, to show potential highway position... need to bolt topper to bed more first. ...just dont want any trouble from semi wash in a crosswind.
I did install two gas struts a while back which i scored in los angeles in car park, thank you lazy roadside mechanic! They are a shade weak ~22 lbs each, but do help lift the topper, and now i know what i need for length and force.
I need to make it open slightly higher to push the air over the front of the trailer smoother, and some lightweight sides would be nice.
Pulling the trailer around 90 km/h seems to be the best for staying in OD and locked. Revs are low round 1750.
Just for fun i propped the trailer ramp up to round 5 degrees to imagine a trailer boat tail! Thats right! Out.
