The ladies love roof top tents. I've yet to meet one that didn't love them.



Get a hold of Roam Automotive and they'll take good care of you. Great bunch of guys there. Ask for TJ.

wife will do a tent
I am the deva on this LOL
My back will not do it anymore

I am concidering a bigger tandem axle
Tow it north to where we will camp with the full size truck and just store it near there

 

theres no way i could camp inside a blazer, i camped in a excursion one time and i swore i would never do that again!

 

I wouldnt have problem laying a mattress down in the back of mine as a matter of fact if mine is on the road by spring me and mrs plan on camping in it.

 

I towed my parents old pop-up with my '00 Bravada without problems for years:
The pop-up slept 6 if you dropped down the

Then I upgraded to a 2004 Buick Rainier and not too long after that, upgraded to a 19ft hybrid travel trailer:

Sleeps 6 like the pop-up, but was much easier to setup. Less than 20 minutes from park to awning/beds out.

The hybrid proved to be a bit too much side cross-section for the Rainier (i.e. the Rainier didn't weigh enough to make for a stable platform when driving in windy conditions even with a weight distribution hitch). The Bravada wouldn't have had enough power to pull that trailer around at highway speeds. It was one more excuse to get away from the AWD vehicles and into the full size Tahoe that I have now.


And now I have a new 21ft hybrid:

This one can sleep 8 comfortably, 10 if there are 2 little people to sleep on the pull out couch. And it is even easier to setup than our previous hybrid.

 

i towed my 21'(5600lbs loaded) trailer twice with my Blazer, it did it, but it made me nervous(bought a truck to tow it). I have a toy hauler tent trailer now and its far nicer to tow with the Blazer, and has decent storage and sleeps 5. I can set it up almost as quick as my old standard trailer(15 mins).

 

this is what I am thinking
there is a cheap outdoor storage($10 per month) directly across the highway
Get it there and just use the Blazer to shuttle in and out of the campground
21-24ft trailers can be had for more resonable prices than the small stuff

 

I could not camp in the jimmy... I would have to remove the sub, and amp ect to get anything in there, that tent on the roof thingy is cool!

 

I like that tent on top of the truck.. Makes off roading camping easier.

 

The RTT's really are awesome. They only take a minute to set up, you can set them up anywhere, they fold down into a small square when you're driving, and you can literally put them on any kind of vehicle.




I saw them for the first time this summer when I went on the UPO trip and there were a ton of people that had them.
