I LOVE the terradrop trailers and am modeling one on sketchup now, but with a twist. I'd like to put a small pop-out tent on the hitch side for my son. It could even fold laterally for a larger person.
Roof top tents (RTT) are way to damn expensive. With load bars and proper weather coverage you're looking at $2K. And they leak. And they mold.
Like that ideal. Only without the canvas. I would make fold in walls and roof. Made it hard side. I hate wet canvas that needs it dry in the morning.
