I will get a pict for you under the topper.
The trailer is all stock 1943 Bantam. the trailer was unharmed and the top was designed to not harm the trailer.
Very nice setup!
What size roof top tent did you get???? 1600 or 1800?????
:chowtime:
Thanks! I have been into Rovers and Jeeps for quite some time. I built that one up over a 2 year period. Arb's, 4.10 gears, I built all of the Bumpers Sliders, and even the roof rack. Hated to sell it but I do Love a project and it was pretty much done. So Have been working on a Jeep CJ7.
This site is AWSOME! Lots of great info. I hope to turn my trailer into more of an expedition stlye trailer. Been reading here for a while and getting ideas together.

You're right this sucker has turned into something quite useful.
Thanks to those who didn't follow the directions . . . "God bless us fools, for screwin' up all the rules."
From my original post:
BTW, the reason I wanted to know how the tents mounted because I've moved to a Yakima load bar system to mount our Eezi-Awn. I knew that AT used similar round bars but I never peeked close at the hardware used. That's why I started this thread. At the time I wasn't sure how I'd get the tent secured.
Like Justin suggested, Yakima makes a clever clamp for such uses ("snaparounds"). Some photos are attached. Worked great.
Obviously, I'm not using a trailer but I knew the solution worked on trailers and I wanted to mimic that.

Ahh ha snap arounds I knew it. Thats what I made my hi lift mount out of. Though not having anything to do with trailers I wonder how much of a pia it would be to use this setup on roof mounted bars? Thoe only potential problem I see is getting the hardware through the snapadoo once it's on the roof. Currently I use u bolts to secure it to my yakima bars.

Hi all,
I've really enjoyed reading about and looking at pictures of the expedition trailers. I had never seen the roof-top tents before and they are really neat. They certainly make for a rugged off-road rig.
I would like to share a couple of pictures of the trailer I just finished building. It's not an expedition trailer by any means, but I think it could be classified as an adventure trailer. I'm starting to think of building a smaller, lighter, off-highway, solo trailer. (Stop me before I build again!)
Anyway, here's a couple of pictures of the Desert Dawg. Joanne
