G'day fellow campers
I am looking for recommendations on a tent to fit to the top of our Track Trailer. I have bolted a frame to the top of the trailer which raises the height about 150mm. The frame is about 2.2 x 1.3m.
We previously had fitted a large roof top tent to the top of the trailer. The concept worked quite well as very quick to set up. We ended up returning the tent as we had a few problems (after sales good in this regard). I was keen to go with a Hannibal 2m tent this time. However SWMBO raised a few issues she has with the roof top tent set up. These were mainly that you can't stand up in tent, no space if stuck inside because of rain, kitchen area was not covered & no access to clothes inside tent. Also when kids are older the rooftop tent will be a bit crowded.
Consequently, I am looking for recommendations for a fold out tent to fit to the top of our trailer. It must be quick to set up for overnight stays, preferably have an integrated fly to help keep inside cool, have hoods over the windows so can leave open for breezes when raining, and have the option of a covered awning area for when staying longer than overnight.
Thanks
