  • DIY camper trailer with roof top tent

    HAs anybody here built a camper trailer with the roof top tent. I am thinking of building one with the tent on top and awning on the side. The issue is to get the height sufficient to be practical. So I am thinking between fixed or adjustable height poles. Has anybody here built one like this?

    RTTs are great, except the car is fixed to one place. I go out to hunt, so the car needs to be mobile.

          This is almost exactly what I am thinking of. Except the height - I want it to be the same as the car when stationary. So I have bee thinking, either make the trailer tall or make some sort of extendable poles. I have been also advised by one of my friends to put a metal box in the front to keep couple of gas cylinders and the battery, to prevent the trailer from toppling backwards.

          The same friend made another, quite revealing comment. Lots of trailers labeled "off-road" have bad ass wheels and tyres. Apparently it is not really needed. Unlike the car, the trailer doesn't have to "grip" the road and have traction. To take it to absurd level, it can be dragged as the sled behind the car. So there is no need to spend a fortune on wheels.

            You do want the track width to be the same as the car, and if the actual wheels are the same too you can carry one less spare wheel (less weight).

                After building my own with a roof top tent and awning on the side, I would recommend buying a square sided tradesman trailer and fitting out the inside as required. Should be able to get the manufacturer to make the axle/hubs same width as the vehicle. I supplied second hand rims to the manufacturer of mine to match the vehicle.
