I've been dreaming about the perfect overland setup for a family of four and a large dog.
I love the idea of a Flippac or AT Tacoma Habitat camper shell flip up tent, but both have some big drawbacks. Quality, price, limited sizes for a tailored fit.
There seem to be many quality manufacturers of roof top tents, but I don't like the idea of climbing up a later to get inside.
While trailers offer a lot of good options, Im not into towing long distances on the freeway (55mph in CA) or adventuring on skinny unknown trails with a trailer limiting my turn around options.
Has anyone seen a roof top tent mounted on a truck, over the cab or towards the front of the bed, with access to the tent through the truck bed?
I'd like to take that a step further with a custom or modified camper shell to allow access to the tent through the roof of the shell.
Perhaps I'm just dreaming, but a full size truck, crew cab with a roof top tent accessed through the truck bed seems like an ideal overland setup for a family of 4.
If you've got pictures, or a better idea for me, please respond.
