The Trailex enclosed model *may* be an exception to that, FWIW. It is
one of their open trailers with a full aluminum floor and aluminum wall and
roof panels, with a vee-nose. IIRC, total weight is around 2,000lbs. I have
no personal experience with one, this is all from memory when I inquired
about them a couple of years ago. The only drawback for me was that it
doesn't have much inside space for tires and stuff.
