I'm with Padgett on this one. The shells can flex a lot and potentially bind. Mine does if it travels to one side as it lowers. The shells would need some way to stabilise the shell as it rises or lowers and that would add more weight.
I'm still relatively young in my late 40's. If the shell becomes too heavy, the torsion bars need adjusting or replacing. If I can't handle lifting a properly adjusted shell, I would also have trouble lifting propane tanks for refilling, the hitch, even packing the trailer.
Before this thread gets too off topic, perhaps we should start a wish list thread? Maybe I'll start.
