Bike Camper Design

I just finished designing this idea I had for a small bike camper trailer.

I think it would be comfortable enough, considering that I actually like being closed in when I'm sleeping. I can definitely understand though how it would make some people very uncomfortable and claustrophobic.

I was thinking that the wheels and seat-post mount would come off with some form of QR, so that it could sit flat on the ground.

I know it will be pretty heavy, (as it's drawn now, it's made mostly from 1/2 inch plywood) but do you think it will be too heavy? Would another material be lighter with adequate durability? Would it be expensive?

It still needs some additions (such as Paint, sheet metal, or some other covering to keep the wood from rotting so fast), and I haven't actually figured out exactly how I'll run the axle/ axles or the seat-post mount, but let me know what you think. Any suggestions or criticism are openly accepted.
