That would work well on a front of a trailer, if the trailer was long enough!
Would the second one mount on the back of your truck?
I think the camper trailer behind your trailer would probably work, it looks like its pretty small. It would be a huge responsibility pulling two trailers through a city and a heck of a challenge.
Thinking out loud here. If you mounted it on a rack on the front of the trailer. You would want the rack so that it could be leveled even if the trailer couldn't be. Wonder if you could use trailer jacks and some kind of slide system. You would also want it to be bolt on, so that If you had to haul something else, you could remove it. In addition, you would want it to be high enough off of the hood and window of your explorer so that if the body of the explorer raised up fully with axles chained down, that it wouldn't hit the bottom of the tent. frame.
Maybe some kind of pivot? so that it angled out of the way of the vehicle you had loaded, then it would pivot to level when you camp?
Yeah I am not 100% sure of what to do yet-- might put it on the back of the truck and unfold over the cab? But the truck might rock back and forth--- Might put it in the bed folding along the side of the bed with ground support poles (adjustable) Can use some straps and engine crane to remove it when necessary? I would still have 3 ft of storage under the tent box, in the bed of the truck, and it would provide some rain protection for gear. I would have to make a ladder for the other side though. (to get in) but that should give me 6x8 feet of bed and 6x8 feet of luggage storage - and a place to put a porta pot and a propane heater if required :-)
Well I did some drawings to show what the big plans are for the camper--- its crude but should work-- the items in blue are what needs made-- Green is the tent- and white is the trusty ford :-)
I hope you are able to find a safe place to store it inside so that it doesn't deteriorate. I imagine it would take less than a year for it to go bad if it gets weathered.
