Haha! The tent system itself weighs in at like 100 lbs anyway!

Well personally I like it still. Price is steep but I don’t want a hitch to trailer anything and I don’t like the little foam padding we have currently for a bed in the ground tent. I don’t like air mattresses because I am a fat body and deflate them. I think that once I have money to afford this I will buy one, which means I will never buy one. Either way they are dope.
I am going to be building a utility style box in the back and make a drop down panel off the rear door to lay my big fat legs on to sleep in the VX but even that will have to wait.

The Fleetwood Evolution is one I've stayed in, and it gets up to my mining claim near Leadville, okay. It would match my Proton perfectly, too! I'm just not sure I could comfortably tow it. When full of water and stuff, it almost weighs as much as the VX!

At least the rooftop tent will keep you safe from scary scary bears.
Well, unless the scary bear is really hungry, I suppose. Or freakishly tall. Or one of those circus bears, who know how to climb up on cars. Or if the bear brought a bear partner, and they cooperate and shoulder-climb and boost each other up.
Okay, fine, you're not any safer at all. But it would look cool. Like having a treehouse without the tree.
PS: I'm still digging those T@B Trailers: http://www.tab-rv.com/specs/index.php
I even saw one up close during the Moab gathering. A nice match for the VX. All I need is a trailer hitch and an extra $15,000 or so, and I am THERE.

I like these tents ALOT. There is guy that owns a LandRover Discovery that has one uptop. It was an extra package deal on his rover. They look awesome and really dont look too big when daily driving.

So we saw this at sportsmans today, LINK. It is really cool becasue you can use it for many things in addition to a tent. ALOT more pricy than I would like but I really dont know what a utility trailer goes for.
