Mike is right, enclosing your existing tailer is probably cheaper and =

There is a light low profile trailer designed by Pete Brock called the =
Aerovault. Kind of cool but I=E2=80=99m too tall to want one.=20

These seem to exist as motorcycle trailers with about 5=E2=80=99-6=E2=80=9D=
 inside height clearance. About 1=E2=80=99-0=E2=80=9D+ lower than a =
