Higher end trailer manufacturers are using a fender that folds down after you open your escape hatch. These days the stuff I am looking at Aluminum frame high end trailers are a thousand dollars a foot.

Generally a trailer with a dovetail/beavertail rear(depending on what part of the country you are from) will have the shorter fenders. Mine are only 4 inches high give or take because the racedeck flooring ads 1/2 an inch to the floor. I do not have or need an escape door, but I can tell you that I can open any & all doors & have never hit the fenderwell. Including a new '23 & a new '24 Vette from the Museum over the last couple of year. I drove them both in & got out with no issues. Honestly not sure i f there is a framing issue with the escape door that causes the manufacturers to not offer the lower fender.

God Bless
