Would You Consider This an Eyesore?

Would You Consider This an Eyesore?
I have been having an argument with Kendra about buying a trailer. Her problem is not the money aspect of the trailer purchase, but the fact that she doesn't want to look at it for the rest of her life. Me, being a guy, could care less about how white-trash it looks to have a trailer in the yard, so I am trying to reason with her. I have this great spot picked out in the back, out of the way, and not conspicuous, in my standards.
What do you think?
My proposal is to cut down a tree where I now store the tractor attachments, and to move them to an even less visible part of the yard.
Here is the location from the "coming up the driveway" point of view. It is well off to the left, behind some foliage (nice way of putting white trash prickers that Kendra doesn't want to get rid of becasue it hides things, so basically it reinforces my argument).
Here is where the said "problem" lies. The view from the deck.
The trailer I have secured a price on is an brand new 2009 Anderson WC720. It is an 18' wood deck with an additional 2' wood deck beaver tail, and 5' ramps. I guess they don't make them anymore, or it was a special order, that never ended up selling. It is going to pull double duty, hauling cars and equipment. The reason I started looking is that I am sick of hauling other peoples dilapidated ****boxes around. The equipment trailer I normally use isn't legally registered, and it borrows a plate from the owners other trailer, and the car hauler I took to LVD, half the lights didn't work.

Couldn't you put everything in the spot you want to put the attachments? How often do you anticipate using the trailer? Park the trailer in the hidden spot then park the attachments on it then cover with a green tarp. Could even paint the trailer green to match the tractor to make it blend in more. If you can't park the trailer with your truck 'cause it's too long (for the hidden area), couldn't you do it with the tractor?

not sure, but pretty often. It would not only be a car/equipment hauler, but it would also transport large items, as my utility is enclosed, and can't house them. Sometimes I miss having a pickup.
I'm good with putting it where I want it, and I am doing a lot of work on the ouse for the wife this summer with the intent of cashing in some brownie points to get the trailer later this summer or fall.
