Don't get mne wrong, I love the design but how is this not considered a turret? Just becasue you put the bumpers on it? I hope that there is not an overzealous inspector that rules against this design. I wouldn't, but I know some that would ....
I'm just looking out for my friends in Southern California.

(In all seriousness, to my knowledge the rules don't ever specify that the bumpers and trailer hitch must be stationary relative to any particular reference frame).
