I figured a lunette would be better for articulation, however, this trailer already had the ball hitch when I acquired it. I'd been looking for a long time and jumped on this the moment I saw it. There is only one section of road on the upcoming adventure I am worried about and it probly isn't even worth worrying about. I'll just throw the SM420 into first and keep my eye, or have my wife get out and keep her eyes on things.
As far as my top goes, I bought a rusty '71 parts 40 a few years back. The top wasn't in too bad of shape but was missing a window. I also wanted more circulation and the amount of shade that a hard top would provide, so the other windows and whole rear hatch were removed. It doesn't seem nearly as top heavy and it's an easy two-person job of taking on and off.
