I overlaid Planzman's photos as an animated GIF in an attempt to show the opening sequence...

Unfortunately the palette kind of got messed with during the upload.
Kind Regards, BigAl.

It could be added to the do-list - but I'm not convinced that shortening the trailer for towing makes much sense for on-road use (except maybe for ferry crossings). Lowering the overall height makes sense to reduce drag but I can't see shortening as a big benefit - the web site notes that later model Properts had a longer tongue so that they could be erected while still hitched to the tow vehicle, so they weren't even that short.

Making a trailer fold makes it heavier than if it didn't fold, so you don't want any folding that doesn't give a benefit.

I think a similar length Winter Warrior type design (except maybe with the whole top lifting, like the Propert) would be a better design.
