I was waiting to see how he did the ramps but he skipped that.

The safety struts seem fiddly. If they attached to the rear of the fenders, the linear actuator (horizontal on the top of the fender) could bear on an hinge in the strut and the whole thing would become self-deploying.

Look when the guys videos up inside. He has captured the side of that brace so it works in side loading both ways.
I imagine it is one heck of a sail or wing in the right conditions. It could get out of hand.

I would guestimate Cd 0.50 for the trailer by itself.
The 'shrink-wrapping' of the enclosure is smart,limiting frontal area.Tail elevation could be lower.
All in all though,it's better than any HAULMARK toy hauler on the market.Perhaps it will catch on.
Thanks for sharing it.
