I didn't see this mentioned on ExPo. An interesting idea. A hitch mounted roof tent platform. I contacted the company and this was the reply for my FJ.

Thank you for your interest! We currently are offering our hitch mounted BaseCamp as well as our BaseCamp T (Trailer Unit). All of our products are made out 6061-T6 aluminum. We would recommend that you check your vehicles tow capacity and trailer receiver rating so we would know which of our units would best suit you.
As far as pricing goes, our standard units including tents start at $3600 with 5 standard colors to choose from. In order for us to begin making your unit, we require a $500 deposit (Credit Card, Check, Money Order) with the remaining balance due before receiving your unit. Lead time on our units is 30 days.
As far as your question regarding how it attaches, the BaseCamp rests on a hitch plate that goes into a 2 inch receiver. The rails at the bottom of the BaseCamp allow the hitch plate to center itself when backing up your vehicle. The jacks allow the unit to be lifted or lowered from the hitch plate.
As far as an FJ Cruiser, we would recommend a BaseCamp without the storage boxes OR the BaseCamp T (Trailer Unit).
