Looking for RTT for Trailer build need help for M1102 trailer

[sgthawk]

Im building a base camp trailer out of a M1102 trailer and Im looking for advice on what Roof type tent to purchase. Please see my build so you understand what Im looking for.

What I what to build is a roller system that will allow me to store the tent towards the front of the trailer during tow to help with young weight. One I get to camp and set up I want to be able to pull the pins and roll the tent toward the rear of the trailer. The tent will open up towards the rear of the trailer and have a ladder through the floor. I also want the tent to come with the wrap around sidings that will allow me to keep the rear of the trailer open and use it as a second place for sleeping if needed.

Any recommendations?

You can use extrusions for the slides. Look at Mitsumi, 80x20, etc. You can use rollers UHMW.

Looking at my M1101, I am also trying to decide how to mount a RTT. Do to the size of the M1101, it won't be centered unless you fold out over the ends and even the it will be more to the front or back. I think it is best to center it side to side rather than front to back. I understand your desire to be able to move it while mounted but that will take some ingenuity...
