Depends on what your budget is, what size, what climate you are using it in, what country you are, what vehicle you are mounting it to and how. Also best at what and best in what ways? way too many variables to answer a generic best.

I don't have experience on any of the trailers since I built my own, but was real impressed with the Tepui Tents quality and customer service.

Grimbo, Not a very big budget for a dishwasher, :sombrero: also it will be a mild climate( 103 right now), but normally just between 40-100 degrees, and nothing extreme, just light to heavy rain, no snow or sand storms, and I haven't decided on whether to build a full roll cage and make it have a quick disconnect for my Suzuki Samurai (or Serria/SJ413 for your side) or I have a motor cycle trailer that I think would do the job perfectly, Just a 2 person or slightly larger, and I'm looking into a soft sided tent that folds away, with a mat in the tent

I've been looking into this quite a bit recently. I've been impressed with the build quality of the Eezy-Awns, but the value of the Tepui. I'm probably going with the Tepui, based on cost (they're half the price) but I really like the heavy canvas of the Eezy Awn.

Be sure to look at the Cascadia Vehicle Tents stuff too...

Great quality, excellent price and lots of options. As far as a trailer that you can tow with a Suzuki Samurai, a U-Build off of a small commercially available trailer is probably the way to go. A lot of people are building off of the Harbor Freight trailers. My CDN M101 1/4 ton trailer is 700# dry so by the time I have the RTT, lid, gear, water batteries etc in it, it will be closer to 1300#. Might not be that fun to haul around with a 1.6-2.0L 4cyl offroad?

I have an Eezi-Awn 1600 RTT on top of my AT Chaser and have had no need for customer service on the tent since I got it 5 years ago. I have averaged 10-12 weeks per year camping over that time period in all kinds of weather.

It is always good to hear people like yourself with positive personal experiences with a product (or in this case products).

I have been looking at them too lately and i believe I am going to go with the Tepui Tents also.

Thanks for the imput, everyone, but the idea I have in my head is that I can build a quick disconnect, and have the set up on the trailer I'm going through the designing stage right now, so it will be if I just go for the night, I will not have to take the trailer, and if I plan on parking and driving else where I can unhitch and drive away from camp, but this is greatly going to determine the design of the trailer, it will be a lot for the 1.6 but off road I can pull alot more because of my gears,
