I'm curious if anyone has ever thought of or actually used this type of retractable lid on a trailer?
If one was to custom build their own trailer, it certainly wouldn't be that difficult to build the top opening to the dimensions of a standard p/u bed that would easily accommodate one of these types of lids.
If you haven't seen them before, here's one website:

I'm curious what others think of this.
I had a custom trailer built this summer, and the lid opens in two sections with standard gas struts, but removing the 2 separate pieces is kind of a PITA due to their weight ~ 75 pounds each, and there size, about 4' x 4' each. The retractable lid seems like it would have been a much better option, albeit a bit more pricey...
