That is a brilliant design.
An older design I was playing with had a 2-foot high base that an aerocap lifted up from. Now the TrailManor gets into my head and I question rethinking it all.
My latest design sketch relies on a simplification; a piano hinge and gas springs mid-roof pop up verses the complexity of telescoping an entire cap.
The TrailManor seems just a little beyond a home-build concept with the engineering involved, but not by much if you can live with some potential leakage.

That Gif helps, at first I thought it went straight up and then slid horizontally, not so with the scissors mechanism.
