Before I start the big trailer project, I want to prove out materials and methods on a trailer for the new beetle. Since it is foam and glass and a bit large, my concern is how it will do in winds. It will be very light when empty, and about 4' tall by 11' long by 5 1/2' wide.
I hope to follow the template accurately in profile, and have some of the body of revolution aspects of it, but the plan taper will be somewhat limited for practical purposes.
This is still by far the best shape to combat side winds and stay put behind the tractor, right? A light trailer plus side winds plus lift is a bad day.
