Anyway, I look forward to exploring this further.
Plow the tow vehicle wake:



In another thread the subject of Peter Brock's 1971 VW panel van came up. Incidental to that in a Jay Leno interview, Peter Brock (he designed the Cobra Daytona coupe) let drop that he has a trailer company.

Check out the construction photos. It has aluminum bellypan and side walls with fiberglass wheelwells and cap.

These are prolly $$$ but worth it. But they're 80" wide. A less expensive alternate might be the fiberglass trailer they were making in Oregon City a few six years back.



Here's one made from a real bus with the correct details (down to the jail bars). It would be 68" wide.

I owned one of these for about 25 years:



The construction is really simple, a 5" tube backbone, 6" C-channel crossmembers each pinned to the plywood deck with a carriage bolt. Aluminum from there. Here it is laid out for a teardrop like the Roswell.
