Ya i just got the Titan off-road roof top tent, sweet at a 107lbs i mounted it on my all aluminum camp trailer, with my 2 kayaks. Great package to go anywhere...

I went with a camper with a roof top tent.
The wife and I in the camper, our 2 boys in the tent.
Our camper with my version of a roof top tent.
It's a tent cot by Kamp-rite.
I welded up a roof rack to fit the tent cot.
I removed the legs from the tent cot and attached to the rack.

Default rig and trailer pic

Here is my rig and trailer. like the flexibility of decoupling from the tent. trailer has lots of comforts of home, including fridge. dual 12v batteries power all the toys...

Hey Coy...........Love the set-up. Purchased an M416 trailer about a month and a half ago and I plan on doing a similar rig this fall/winter. Can I ask what roof top tent you have....Not sure what trailer you have there, although I don't think it's an M416. I'm looking to get the right tent for my trailer (and of course, at the right $$$$).

Any feedback would be great.........Cheers

Default eezi awn tent

they are pricey but well worth the price. I had the trailer built to my spec. Then as we use it I will change or add to it. It has a 3500 pound payload. Good for what ever. I like checking out other rigs, everyone comes up with great ideas.
