Here's a link to a split-window esque trailer: http://www.roamingtimes.com/a/consumer/images/camp-inn-teardrop-trailer.jpg
I think teardrop trailers would work really well w/ a possibly underpowered vehicle. Lightweight and aerodynamic, they wouldn't need much to tow them.

Crap, that's a lot of work for a trailer.
Cool as hell though. |

I use this trailer a bunch on my property, cost about $60 to make out of a smashed Rabbit Truck.

I saw a New Beetle pulling a trailer made out of the back half of another New Beetle the other night, they were both wrapped in the same graphics for some business that I can't remember. Pretty cool looking! I was on the Vespa at the time so I wasn't able to get a picture.
