Potential CT ???
« on: June 27, 2011, 06:50:34 PM »
I drive past this small Ag sales & service business on my way to work every day and  they have had this trailer for sale in their front yard for a couple months now, each time I go past I try to visualise it being a CT of some kind ;D

Does anyone else think this trailer in the following pics has any potential as a CT or have I simply been bitten by the CT bug as I can visualise nearly any trailer as a potential CT ???

Plenty of clearance but you would need to customise the tent

Using a roof top tent on top of a storage compartment would avoid using a custom tent or could get inventive and fabricate a hard floor ct set up ???

probably strong enough to stick a m/bike on it if that way inclined

Roof toppers are handy, but you miss out on the space, the actual room, of a regular CT tent. I noted in Razzer's build thread that his tent was only ~$1400, when most toppers cost that much.
