What would be the bad with taking my truck tent:truck tent
and using it on a small 6X8 utility trailer that could be towed by nearly any vehicle? Seems like a fine idea to me. Up off the ground and being able to unhook and go rambling would be a big plus with the "camper" still set up. Plus you would have the small trailer to haul along a bunch of stuff, cookers, ice chests, etc before you set up the tent. Whatcha think?

Sounds just like a popup to me. They work pretty good.

This is basically what camp trailers of the 50s and 60s were. We had three of them, all Apaches. The first had a bed on the trailer and the tent folded out onto the ground. The other two were more deluxe, having two slide-out beds, a cupboard and everything was off the ground. We towed one of these with a 40 hp Volkswagen. They probably weighed around 400 lbs. Great idea. Go on the internet and google the RV museum in Elkhart, IN for some photos nof various campers.
