Plenty of bike lockers and small sheds already on the market, in different materials. What might be the advantage of one made in GRP? Would it be any cheaper? Any more secure?
I've bee using bike trailers for over 30 years. Axle placement of your mock-up looks far too far forward and would create too much nose weight to my sense of asthetic.
Plenty of bike trailers already on the market too. Why need semi-rigid caravan top?
Most popular these days are three rail, 2+1 arrangements that can take one, two or three bikes, depending on weight or needs.... Rigid top would beg a pretty big top to cover potentially three bikes... and would it be tall enough to take a full dress tourer with luggage, or a custom cruiser with sissy bar, or wide enough for a couple of wide bar MX or trails bikes?
What's wrong with a rain-cover properly strapped down. Means the trailer doesn't have to have the 'bulk' when not in use, and can be tipped on its side to park down the side of the garage when not in use.
As an engineer, I have to repeat Design 101 lesson; before asking why not, first ask why so. What 'problems' for which there isn't already a solution, are you exactly trying to solve here?

Where did this guy get that miniature Pan European is the real question here. Sooooo cute.
Looks to me like the guy is trying to cunningly combine needing the physical spare space a van would take up
to store the thing when it's not in use (So, most of the time then...) coupled with the driving on eggshells experience of
towing your own bike along behind you when it is.
I'm oot. I'll stick to vans. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

If that was a full size Pan, the trailer would be huge
In reality the only use I can see is towing a small bike behind your Winnebago on holiday and Brit's don't seem to do that too often.
So, it's either a basic trailer to go to track days, off road and the like or a van to safely transport a bike in any other circumstance.
Considering it will be stupidly expensive I can't see any point at all. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Yes, I know, but it provides an alternative option, I would recommend the Asgard products, I have one of their secure metal bike sheds for our push bikes ..
https://www.asgardsss.co.uk/large-metal-bike-shed
But, dependent on the price, it is something that is worth considering.
However, there's really only 1 thing you should do with a wooden shed, and that's turn it into a pub !! . But, that's for another thread, however, here's a taster ..
