[QUOTE="Ponyroper, post: 407698, member: 423"] Decided to go this route so I can do dispersed camping in the mountains this summer. For convenience I put together the rig in the bottom picture. Instead of putting the tent on the roof of my SUV I put it on the trailer so that I can unhook the SUV and go sightseeing/run errands without having to take down the tent each time I want to move the towing vehicle. The tent can stay set up if I want to squat on one site for multiple days. I wanted a rig that could carry my ATV at the same time in case I wanted to do some off-roading. I mounted an electric winch on the back of the ATV to pull it onto the trailer since I can't back it under the tent. Plan to give it a shake-down run at Danzig or Sweetbriar as soon as the weather gets better. Trailer weighs about 700#, ATV weighs about 800#, tent weighs 120#, camping equipment, food, DC fridge, 10 gal.s of water, 2 deep cycle batteries for the solar panels, etc. about 500# (I plan to be off grid for days at a time). I had planned to pull it with my new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid but unfortunately the ATV sits too far forward on the trailer and there is too much tongue weight for the RAV so I will use my old Suburban when I take the ATV along. Hope it works the way I planned.
