What did you use for the tent deck?
What size is the dome tent?

I am thinking of making a poor mans RTT with a 7 x 7 tent and expanded metal deck.

Looks great!

I have been thinking about doing a poor man set as well Mark. What are your ideas on it?

Mark, I used 1/2" chunk board framed in with steel angle. Wood 1"x1.5" run down the both sides of the center for strength and a opening to stow the ladder under tent floor. The tent is a Texas Sport ($30.00) 5'x7' this allows a full mattress for 2 people.

I am almost finished with the foundation. I have roof top tent coming by the weekend so the roof rack is my next priority! You guys have so many idea's and the hard work and motivation to back them up. This forum is incredible. Very motivating

Is that a sleeping bunk up top?

[hansrober]

yes and sort of. It slides forward and up (to clear the bikes handlebars). I think it will make a great bunk and also gear storage. I felt like a sliding bunk would give me headroom forward or aft when/where needed.

 

[hansrober]

If you look close you can see it in forward position in the first photo

Very nice 101A2!
How does the jeep do pulling it?

 

[hansrober]

realy good. I pulled it on its first trip with the box on it 2 weeks ago to pick up my dirt bike. We towed about 300 miles round trip with about 25 miles of rough washboard dirt roads, all flat with some small hills. It only brought mpg down 2/3 mpg and tracked straight. The jeep is a 12 with the pentistar v6. I have a 15ft serro scotty trailer and the 101 tows lots better! I read a lot of negatives about the 101 on different forums but found for my uses they have been mostly positive or at minimum a non issue

 

[Mark Harley]

The 101A@ and A3 trailers are great.

When new they cost the tax payers over $8,000.00
Love mine! Many say it is too big but behind a 2500HD it looks small.
