I still have the trailer but don't use it now that we have a new one (that is a super nice box on wheels). I didn't have a baseline before the mods as I had to rebuild the back before I ever could use it in the first place. Time is short but if I sell the trailer I will probably pull off the mods so maybe I can try some on/off testing although no way a A-B-A as that is too much work. If I can keep the hi-lo the plan is to totally rework the whole roof to a better, lighter, more aerodynamic design. Basically if someone gives me $2000-$3000 I'm going to sell it, if less the platform is worth more to me than starting from scratch on a custom camper. It's all about time as the free time we have now we are out enjoying the shiny new camper LOL!
