Roof Top Tents

[PleaseDear]

I've been looking at them for a while now.



I've been talking to folks that have them.


The biggest set-back that most have stated is that if they want to drive anyplace they have to break down camp as the RFFTP tent is on their vehicle.

So I came up with a Double Duty type set-up-------

A lil 5 x 8 enclosed Look brand utility trlr


Tuff Stuff Overland 'Ranger' RFTP tent and a side Awning.


So when I'm not camping, I still have the use of just simply an Utility trlr.

I thought it best to give the roof a lil more support as with 2 people sleeping above in the RFTP tent and maybe gettin' some! Prolly best to reinforce it

 

[PleaseDear]

 

[PleaseDear]

I modified the ladder by about 1 foot in longer lenght

 

[PleaseDear]

No

thing flimsy about the poles like those POS ground tent fold out poles!

 

[PleaseDear]

Set's up really nice

 

[PleaseDear]

 

[PleaseDear]

I do the kitchen inside the trlr, with microwave, cook stove and my lil 24 inch AC/DC Dvd TV....

With the pandemic controls now, all the fire crews have new guidelines to follow. One of the biggest changes is being self-supporting, without going to big fire camps. My son's crew has done a support trailer similar to this. Here is Wyoming Hot Shots trailer, to give you some more ideas.

That is awesome buddy!! Great setup and mods.

 

[grosventrehunter]

Way cool set up!!

I like it! As a kid, that would be the best fort ever! As an adult, that is a great finished product for the mobile hunter/camper! If weather turns for the absolute worse, you still have the security of the trailer to tough out the rest of trip in.

Nice job!

[PleaseDear]

Thanks for your input



The annex room adds quite a bit of extra room for staging hunting gear or

even an extra person to sleep.

[PleaseDear]

A simple 6ft ladder is all ya need to set-up the tent on top, pretty simple and fairly easy for a Solo hunter to accomplish.

[PleaseDear]

the first few pix are up in Wyo G area these next pix are down in Az and give a better view of the set-up and clean lines


No mice or snakes when your tent is that up off the ground!

 

[PleaseDear]

 

[PleaseDear]

The floor in the annex room is a thick rubber and very water proof.


The only 'learning curve' I experienced was when it rained or the snow melted off, I need to have the trlr with a slight drain to the front away from the main tent area's.


1 trip of weather and I learned that very fast!

 

[PleaseDear]

That wraps this thread up for pix and stuff like that for now.


Thanks

[PleaseDear]

Maybe not for long!

You have way too much time on your hands Robb!!! ? ??
But nice work!

 

[PleaseDear]

Thanks for the Likes and comments


I didn't really plan on it but I sold it to a fellow M&M'er, his Mrs and son.


Without getting to much into their private lifestyle, they would tow a tenttrlr and another trlr with the dirt bikes or Mnt bikes.


Always having 2 vehicles to tow and the fuel cost ect.

This set-up gave them the option to tow 1 trlr and load the bikes inside ect.


I always sell a lil low so I took $4,100.00

Now you can build a better one, and really make it the Taj Mahal!!!

 

[littlebighorn]

You are a good man Robb! Pretty trusting as well—-flashing all that BLING!!

 

[PleaseDear]

Sorry for the late response, I just got back from a scouting trip to my LE bow Bull unit here in Utah.


I took the Young Buck with me, he did good.


The ca$h went straight into my Travel savings acct., that very afternoon. I started a Travel savings acct. when/with the $$ I sold my Toy Hauler for and the same with this set-up.

I'm certainly more of an Airbnb cabin type guy now than all the expense of a camping type deal RV and only 6 months use it that---and the insurance, maintenance ect $$

Me and the Young Buck @ windy Flaming Gorge
