Trailer tent roof rack/roof box

[New2camping]

Hi

We have recently bought a trailer tent and used it a couple of times. I have heard that a roof rack/roof box can be attached to the trailer tent and was wondering if anyone knows how this is done/do you buy a special kit to do this?

The trailer tents I hadwere Combi Camps, which have a roof rack fitted (very useful for carrying gear) so I don't know much about other types. Does yours have a soft top or a hard top?

If it has a hardtop then would car fittings work? If it's a soft top then how about those roof bag things you can get?

Maybe it could attach to the underneath edges of the trailer?

They often are monted on a frame that attaches to spaecial brackets on the chassis of the tent. You can get them for Dandys and Pennines I know. The frame has to be lifted off to use the tent of course. They occaisionally come up on ebay.

Have you considered instead, a roof rack on the car - or perhaps you already have one of these?
