Based on the genius of the guys that built the folding motorhome (http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?t=27776), I came up with a small trailer that lifts up to have EIGHT FEET of headroom, yet closes to just 4.5 feet (body height, no suspension).
Lift up the roof, and the small front wall raises (a'la Esterel), and presto, lots of space! It would be easy to include an awning, or even a deck. This is a quick rough-up, few details worked out, but it seems a great solution to the lack of height most "standies" are able to create.
Thoughts...?
