i intend to build a light-weight m101 trailer...
and have a tent flip out of it...perfect ...

 

This is somewhere down on my list of to-do's. Don't know if it will be before or after a RIPP.

 

Yikes, just checked out the Hannibal tents. 2400 smackaroos for the family tent.
I know they are all going to be expensive, but dang, its still a tent at the end of the day. I just picked up a 20'x9' quality tent at Academy for $100. Granted it can't deploy off a roof or trailer, so of course those would be higher, but gimme a break!

 

i have to agree with the others. i prefer to have the tent on a trailer and use it as a base camp, that way i dont have to pack up every day,

try searching for camping labs. he has a nice selection and a little more affordable. i have not heard any negative comments about his products . i bought mine there,

but i bought the big trailer tent.


after i bought the rubi , i tore the trailer apart and rebuilt things .
now it looks a little better,

 

Have to agree with many here, after camping on the ground for many years, it's becoming more of a hassle to deal with wet ground, moisture, we'd tents etc. Since my dad and I love to go out hunting/fishing I opted for M101 CDN trailer set up. After a long year of building it, I'm almost done. Love it! We leave it parked as a base camp and hit the trails!

 

cartopcamper.com. I have the 3 person tent and love it. I never considered getting one until my wife said something about that being nicer than sleeping on the ground. After using it a few times now I can say it's much more comfortable than on the ground. I still do plenty of regular camping with the Scouts, but this is great as well.

 

To the OP: What exactly are you asking, if anything? If you don't like it, don't buy it. Obviously there is a sizable market out there for them or they wouldn't be in production. If you are trying to solicit opinions, mine is pretty much the same as yours: I like the idea, but agree with you that the price is much to high for the extra comfort and convenience, unless I had to have it for health reasons as some have stated.

 

Love the trailer hitch drink holder hehehe...

 

Nice looking rig. But, does the Jeep ever get hurt feelings because it doesn't have tires as big as the trailer?

 

I have a 16' camper. I will do a spring over and some bigger tires soon. So that I can get it a bit further into the bush. I will never get it up a rock face or through the mud hole but I drag it into a spot and wheel around from there. I also pack two tents with me.
