To reduce the cost of a roof tent I went with a double-wide tent cot + rain fly. This gives you plenty of metal to bolt to your roof/trailer. Any old piece of ladder will do to get up there :-) It folds in the middle to fit smaller spaces. You would need 2 support legs if mounted sideways on a smaller trailer or incorporate the ladder as support like the expensive tents do. Dimensions: 32 inches wide x 90 inches long x 40 inches high. About 2 - 300 USD.

How many hard shelled RTTs are there around $2500? The only two I know of are the basic CVT and Columbus autohome - and both if I recall are more than that.

I seem to remember a thread like this in the show and tell section, but no matter, there are never enough pics of trailers. I modified a M416 as well: extended the tongue, added a box, added a lid, new axle with E brakes, Jerry can and propane holders, 1.5" shackle lift, OME coil overs, maxcoupler, widened fenders, lights, fridge, water tank/shower, and a dual battery setup with solar charger. Oh yeah, and a hell of a lot of grinding and sanding. I ended up with two sets of wheels and tires to match what I run on my rig in winter or summer.
