RoofTop Tent on the top a Frame on a Box-Trailer.... Questions?

One way to help keep your bedding dryer is to have a small tarp over the bedding before packup. We have done this with our camper for years and it helps to keep the bedding dry. Some times if we packup early without airing the canvas the moisture inside forms droplets on the roof and 'rains' when we setup that night. The tarp over the bedding stops this.

I had a look at your setup.... very nice indeed
I'm hoping just to use our existing box trailer though.....

Heres a link to when I fitted a roof top tent onto my bike trailer. Not quite same type you are looking at but shows how the annex is adjustable for height to suit. Mine is a queensize bed base and annex is then about 1 and half times that size on ground.

Check out the Myswag forum. Theres quite a lot of info on what you are intending.

Hey Derek....

That looks good, though I do want the ladder out of the weather for those wet days etc, so I need a bit of height with our setup ....

Here are some photos





Not a good one of it set up but you get the idea



Cheers Derek

Hi Andy, Alan here....

I just took delivery of a Gordigear rooftop tent and wanted to ask if you open yours off the rear of the Prado or to the side?

Wanted to ask before I put it up first time

Thanks mate

Alan

Off to the side mate, the Prado rear door hits the ladder if you open it off the rear.

Have a look around online and you will be able to buy a proper camper trailer top for your trailer and for similar money. You will have more space for the kids and set up time will be similar if you choose carefully.
