    Ideas for ute canopy and storage

    I have a 2002 GU Trayback 4.2 lt. Looking at doing a big trip next year some time. I am wanting to set the tray up with a canopy ect.
    Has anyone got some sort of plans or ideas on how to set it up.
    The trip will be for probably 1 month.
    I am wanting to set up storage space, canopy, sleeping area on top of storage, and maybe even an awning.
    Also I want to take a roof topper tinny.
    I am just in design stages at the moment.

    DX Grunt has an ex-Telstra pod canopy with some gear in it.

    I've seen a great set up somewhere but can't find it now.
    Can you get ideas from how camper trailers are done?

    Still can't find the one I saw before. These may give you some ideas.

    Some of this looks great.

    That's an awesome site Ross.
