you can see that from the one interior picture, the whole side opens. What a beautiful summer camp trailer.

Compare Hütte Hut™:

Lower frontal area, and it not so dark and oppressive inside. It has pretty refined construction. The white part is an aluminum frame. And the wood ribs are little bow trusses. |
- The HütteHut has also fabric roof. I bet it very helps to lighten a interior (not to mention PR photos). Though I hove doubts about security of such a camper /at least at place where I live/

Make it possible to hinge it open at that spot like a sideways clamshell into a 2 bedroom. Or bedroom on one side and kitchen on the other with a canopy pulling out to give you a outdoor living area.

Interesting that the guy makes them so any light truck can haul it, but it's small so the weight is not too great. But I doubt these are light, and doubling it would be good for drag, but then it's too much weight to haul.
Very nice work though.

leading edge separation
*Even with the downward sloping roofline,there would still be a region of separated flow
The sides could have separated flow rearwards to a point equal to 1.6X trailer width/height.

Ya know what?
This thread, in particular the image with the red pick-up truck illustrates the creeping progress of aerodynamics on vehicle design.
A subtle thing at times, we just don't get the time to acknowledge the progress into the mainstream mindset.
In short, here's what happened to me yesterday, coming towards me on the road I see this late model full sized pick-up truck, but it's sporting an old boxy cap over the bed.
It just looked ridiculous, and at one time this was the norm.

In fact, I could not even find an appropriate image for this observation ( so rare now-a-days) when I did a Google image search, I was forced to sketch it up by hand.
