I had this idea of modifying a tent to meet up with the back end of my blazers...By cutting a hole in the backside of a tent, and draping the cut away section over the top to bridge the gap...filling in with canvan here and there to make it water tight and pretty...somehow attatching it to the truck in a way it was watertight but not visible whn not attached...and make it to where the tent would more or less still be a stand alone tent. Then I could sleep in the back of my blazer and use the tent area for storage while I was wheeling. I think it might be too much trouble. But cheap.
I swear...I think of the stupidest things when I get bored.

Scroll down to the bottom.
I actually saw these in person. Wholesale sports here in Canada has them. It attracted my eye when I saw the ZR2 on the box. It must fold up pretty small. The box it was in was only maybe 1' x 1' and 4' long.

Jeeps are AWESOME! I used to have a small trailer like that I recently sold. I would use with my Jeep on off road trips. I also have a friend who has the tent that attaches to the back of mini vans/suv's. It is pretty cool. You can drive away and leave the tent up if needed. It is kinda a tall dome tent with a fly that goes over the opening of the truck. It has elastic in the fly opening to seal out the weather.

The Pontiac Aztec had a tent option from GM, so did Chevy trucks, and Avalanche/Escalade's. The trailer-from-a-truck idea is as old as trucks themselves. My dad did it to a 65 Ford pickup, I did it to a 80 something Nissan pickup. And there is a much easier way to make the front yoke. You use the existing frame. Just angle notch the inside of the rails, them bend them inwards till they meet in the middle giving you an A shaped yoke. Then a couple of flat plates, a ball receiver, and weld everything up, and your done. Use the existing wire loom for lights.

Your VW Vanagon pic didn't show up for me, but, I would pay good money for the right model. Those things are cool as hell! I have owned a couple of old Bug's years ago, but never found a van I wanted... yet.
I can't find the vid I have seen before, but it has a custom van that is bagged, and really nice.
