Strange, I haven't been on here in months, since internet on an Aircraft Carrier in the Gulf is really slow, but I was lookin at these tents today to kill some time! I am doing a trailer mount though. Something I can pull behind the VX or Trooper and haul gear on top. Very cool!!

Awesome trailer, but after putting on a tent and other accessories, it would cost far more than my VX. Not really an option for me:(
I am looking at something more like this:

I can probably build it for a fraction of the cost, maybe on the rear end of a trooper chassis or something.

got one queen size and easy to set up about 7 min.
I mounted mine on a home made trailer so we can setup then go and explore.

I am all in on the trailer concept. If you have to move the VX, either to go wheeling, or to the store or for weather or any reason, you have to pack up your entire home. A trailer on the other hand, you can just dump, no crazy change in center of gravity, easier to store and what not. No worries about structural integrity and the list just keeps going. I can't think of many pros for a roof top tent other than it looks cool in the campsite and you save a few bucks.
