Actually the tent unit pictured on the Dooit (Activity) trailer is from a company called Mombasa, they market it as Roof-Top-Tent. Cartopcamper is a Mombasa dealer like I am.

Thought I would dust this one off ...

If you're the DIY type, you might be interested in following the build story on a Tent Topped Camping Trailer I'm doing. I'd love to get people's feedback on it. Right now it's partially complete, check out the Explorer Pod and let me know what you think.

Looks great, you should think about becoming a vendor here.

Looks great and I commend your undertaking, BUT, what is this thing going to weigh in at?

Heavy, I would suspect

This one should be just under 400 lbs. This is an easy design to scale down for a something like a Smartcar or motorcycle getting it in the 250-275 lb range.

I'm curious are folks more on the DIY side or just want to buy something like this ready-to-roll?

Nice color coordinated Timeout.

If there is enough interest in DIY, trailers of this nature becoming a vendor might make since, kind of testing the waters right now.

Since I live in an apartment and not much of a DIYer, I would go for the really easy kit or a ready to roll one.



It looks nice.

Here's our Timeout. Can sleep 4 adults. Lots of Stand up room.
Weighs around 500 lbs and our Smart pulls it with ease.
