Poor man's roof top tent

[rustyframe]

My 4 year old twins saw a picture of a nice roof top tent on a 110. They have been bugging me to get one. However. the price is a bit out of my range at the moment. Here is our solution.

Nothing wrong with that!

That's great! How did you do it? I'll have to play on mine and see if I can make something...

I did a simular thing in the early 80's for my 109. Put on flat surf racks(4) bolted a 3/4" piece of marine ply. It fit the footprint of my 2 man Timberline tent perfectly. I drilled 1/4" side holes thru the edge at the corners and used some alloy rod which I bent to hold the ends of the rain fly bungees. Worked great! Then the family got bigger.............

Key is finding a tent that fits it right. Then working out a way of getting up there easily without having to carry around a full size ladder.

Nearly identical to Ignotus's set up...
