How to mount roof top tent on trailer.

A new concept the stand mounts a soft side rooftop tent to the back of a vehicle via a trailer receiver. Many stock racks work fine but generally aftermarket roof racks are sturdier easier to mount to and provide versatility for attaching your tepui awnings and other gear to your vehicle. It has a static load capacity of 500 lbs. I would need about 40 inches of verticle clearence for my atv to fit under the tent.

There is also the static weight capacity which is the weight of the tent plus occupants. Roof top tents can weigh anywhere from 100 lbs to 220 lbs depending on the application. Use the plywood to build the base of the rooftop tent and go with the 1x4s wood boards to install the raised side boundary or bottom lips. When driving the tent folds up and sits low profile like a hitch mounted bike rack.

I bought the lightest 4 season roof top tent i could find which was the yakima skyrise hd 3 115 lb. The yakima mounting system for the skyrise boosts the floor height another 4. I had to get the 3 vs the 2 because of the cross bar height on the hi liner was 82 off the ground. The inside width is 60 inches from the 1 1 2 angle steel.
