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.

Sorry for the late response. I bought it as a complete package from a car yard. Not sure how much a canopy alone would be worth.Quote:
