Enclosed Trailers: Neo Brand?

I'm looking for a new enclosed trailer for next season.
After putting on about 15,000 km on my home built enclosed, it's a little bit tired. it does double duty as my race trailer for MX and as my trailer for my sled, and changing it from one set up to the next is really messing up the floor, so I plan on keeping it as my sled trailer.

I'm looking for an all aluminum trailer this time, must be a V-nose. I pull with my lifted up Canyon so light weight and aerodynamic are important. Looking for a 6x12.
The only brand I see in my price range (around 3-3500) are these Neo trailers... Anyone have experience with them? They sure have a lot of features for the price, and I am aware of getting what you pay for...

Once I get my trailer, I also have a bunch of modifications to perform to it to get it to be what I want, like a fold down bed, a sliding screen door for the side man door with a rear screen to button in so I can leave the ramp down at night and sleep with a cross breeze without any bugs, deep cycle batteries to run stuff inside the trailer, and making an awning that will attach to the outside of the trailer since my pop up is tough to do by myself, also throwing a tank under the trailer for water for a pressure washer, maybe rig up a little shower with a 12v pump.
I would rather build my trailer exactly how I want it, but I need my own garage to do that.
 
my dad has a neo NCVR. big trailer. solid. we've been happy with it.
 
I have a friend with a siding company. 5 trucks and 4 trailers. 2 of his trailers are steel frame. 2 are very expensive Thule brand aluminum framed ones. He tells me he will never buy an alum framed one again. He said they are a couple hundred lbs lighter, allowing the trailer to be loaded a little more and still pass MTO weight classes, but he said the alum trailers bend so easy it makes them useless unless yo baby them forever. One rides doglegged crooked becasue the main frame is out of square when it got bent by bumping the back left corner into a curb while slowly backing into a customer's driveway, and the other bent where the axle meets the frame from intentionally backing up over a curb and across another customer's lawn while loaded with siding and soffit/eavestrough. He says both of his stel framed trailers get abused every day and neither has had any damage at all. He firmly feels the aluminum trailers are too weak to be worth the couple hundred pound weight savings.
 
I have 5x8 v nose Neo and works great for me with great warranty
 
Some of the roadways in to the tracks are pretty rough farmers lanes and the pit area is usually a rough field. One of them it's like going rock climbing so I'm worried about the aluminum not holding up. I did get my trailer hung up on a rock this year.

I'll just keep my eyes open I guess and wait for a deal to come my way, either steel or aluminum. It won't do winter duty but heading south from petawawa to Peterborough area it's all hills.
Time for a full size truck I guess.
 
Best thing for fuel mileage is the height of the trailer.....it just sucks if you want to stand up!
 
Meh, I'm 5'7" so it doesn't bother me.
My current trailer has a 5' ceiling in it... only time that sucks is when I'm inside working on the bench I built to get something fixed...
Only thing other than that I plan on doing in there is sleeping and uh... "sleeping" if I have a guest at the track, both of which don't require much inside height!
