Hey guys, i purchased a trailer just like the ones posted below (Mine is the one shown at a camp site). I'll having a fabricator build an exo-cage just like the one below in the first picture. Plan is to have both a RTT and a basket roof rack, so i can switch between them depending on how many family members follow me along on the weekend adventures to come.

I'm looking for some help for ideas to include in the design and fabrication of it. So far we've decided to add some half moon tabs with mounting holes for both campsite lighting (of which i'd do some quick connects for electrical) and to be able to string up and support tarps, hang a hammock or have a clothes line for drying stuff out.

Anyone have any great ideas?!

Also if you have thoughts on how to kit out the kitchen with cabinets or can recommend a small fridge mount etc, it is sitting empty almost like the picture below minus the fridge that one shows. There isn't a ton of room in there so organization and efficiency is at the utmost importance.

Thanks guys! Db

Cool trailer. Lots of fun to come. I suspect you won’t often swap a tent for a basket as the tent is a heavy PITA to get up and down.

If you are having a cage built I would suggest simply building a basket as the body of cage, think Gobi Rack, but design it in such a way that there is 6-8” under the tent, allowing storage of stuff like chairs, shovels, tables, solar panels, etc... without removing the tent. Access from the end would be helpful, as would lighting fire both camp and rack access.

I’m doing something similar for my AT Chaser this spring and will be designing in slide out slots for solar panels and some custom steel tables, plus some space for bulky stuff under the tent. Of course, I am trying to get the tent a bit higher, you might want to tuck down as low as possible.
