Roof top tent instructable.

Before i decided to do this i was considering buying a roof top tent made in italy for 5000 u s but because the sale representative was an arse i decide to make my own for about 300 cdn. I found an old compact truck lumber rack on craigslist for 150 and when i bought. If we think this way the most common stuff that we can use to insulate a tent is air. Building this diy roof top tent will simply cost you 100.

I chose this trailer because i. The rear just attach the platform load with gear and go. The expandable skycamp clamshells opens with the top forming an angled section of roof wall and the bottom the platform for the mattress. Slide the car under attach and go.

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. Building the lid and rack. Next build the tent frame with conduit and choose the best fabric for the tent portion. 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.

This style of camper is used in expeditions that go into hostile environments and are on off road vehicles. Build the base of the tent using 4 x 8 plywood sheets. The trailer i started with was the little giant 7 torsion trailer.
