Bronco Rooftop camper?

I've got a 78 and 84 bronco, and I was looking to put a rooftop tent on the back of one. I want to do something along the lines of an Ursa Minor for jeeps, or an AT Overland Habitat but for the late model broncos. Something within the removable top that allows you access into the upper camper portion from within the interior of the truck. I looked through the forums, I saw a couple different designs from making a rack and just putting it on there, but it exposes the bronco's interior to the elements. Saw some others put smaller sized slide in campers in the back too, more common on the blazers from what I could find. If anyone knows of any one off builds from the past or could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it✌

Ursa Minor for reference:

The Hallmark or Four Wheel Campers are about the only options for those rigs - I've never seen an Ursa Minor or that type for them.

IF the OP is Hell Bent on gitting a Bronco specific camper Phoenix Campers in Colorado will build you a new Bronco specific camper right now IF you got the Dinero. The Denver Bronco themed Bronco camper shown above is a newer build from Phoenix Campers.

FWC (Four Wheel Camper) and Hallmark both have NOT made Bronco campers since the 1990's.

Although their name is Phoenix, they're actually located in Colorado.

I appreciate all of your responses, but those slide in campers are kind of what I am trying to avoid. While simple and cool I havent had any luck finding them around anymore and I am looking for something utilizing the original topper, or something built to similar specs to keep it streamlined akin the Ursa Minor. I'm going to do an internship in 2 weeks through and Overland company in AZ, I'll post some progress on whatever I end up coming up with while Im out that way

I looked at RTT for my 78 bronco and just about any of the hard shells will work and provide some aerodynamic advantages over the soft sided type, but and it’s a big BUT the fiberglass tops really aren’t designed to support any weight. Even a luggage rack is pushing it. I came up with an roof rack design that attached at the rain gutters over the cab and then bolted through the thicker “structural” part off the fiberglass and attached to struts that go down to the bed rails. The struts transfer the load of the rack and RTT to the bed. I ended up abandoning the RTT because my wife wanted more room so an off-road camper is now in the works.
