Roof Top Tent Instructable

When you get to site you can drop your camp and drive the car off just like a camper trailer.

Roof top tent instructable. This style of camper is used in expeditions that go into hostile environments and are on off road vehicles. The expandable skycamp clamshells opens with the top forming an angled section of roof wall and the bottom the platform for the mattress. The rear just attach the platform load with gear and go. The top insulation materials on the market today work by getting rid of most of the solid material and trap as much air inside as possible usually in tiny pockets.

The trailer i started with was the little giant 7 torsion trailer. Slide the car under attach and go. I found an old compact truck lumber rack on craigslist for 150 and when i bought. Build the base of the tent using 4 x 8 plywood sheets.

Building the lid and rack. If we think this way the most common stuff that we can use to insulate a tent is air. The tent that pops out of the hardshell is a weatherproof. Next build the tent frame with conduit and choose the best fabric for the tent portion.

I can see a roof top that sits on frame that holds the poles to lift the topper off the car and lowers to the ground. The ultimate kayak hauler and rooftop tent camper. In other terms you don t want a dense material.
