Nice trailer. I agree with your shorter overall height. The wind resistance for an enclosed trailer is unbelievable, when going to an enclosed from an open one. It's like pulling a billboard. Plus, many guys try to use a tow vehicle that works fine for an open trailer, but when moving up to an enclosed, just isn't large enough or powerful enough. I had to upgrade to a Powerstroke diesel F-250 to get something that I was comfortable with. I can't imagine using anything smaller and still feeling safe while towing.

My next enclosed trailer will definitely be something along the lines of yours. Shorter height, slope or V nose, winch, and A/C.
