    Your doing it in style there Rossco, my lil dog would love to have a nap on your bed, I reckon she could jump up there, she cant get up the ladder to mine.
    Truth is I have not yet fell out, saying that could put the mokkers on me........land on my head next time out??
    It does look a long way down when you are up there...........it is a long way down.
    I take great care
    happy camping Marty

    Roof toppers a brilliant. Got two on my trailer on top of a telescopic rack. Good set up. Can fit two kids quads and a tiny under the tents and have it low enough that the tents match the roof line of my truck ( 3 inch lift/ 33's). Works great for over night on long trips. In bed in ten minutes. Takes longer to get the kids to brush their teeth. If you are staying for a couple you can raise the tents upto 2.1m, fold em out, hang the room bellow one of the tents, filck out the foxwing and you are done except for deck chairs and a beer. Tiny and bikes stay underneith. These things are a great way to go I feel. so easy and off the ground (wife is scared of everything) kids love it too. will try for a photo of it set up at boyup brook rodeo.
    quick edit.... will see if this works.

    This set up is all my own. Other blokes probably have the same or similar but I made it to suit my needs. Was easy to build. Simple ladder style base for the tents to sit on and "H" frames either end supporting it. I have mine height adjustable so when collapsed it is lower than the roof of my truck and when up is 2.1M to the tent bases (on level ground). The corners of my trailer I had made with box section uprights. This allows me to have to legs slide up and down inside them on gas struts. Just use ratchet straps to hold her down. The trailer I had biult for me as I did not have time before I moved over here and there is still heaps I plan to do ( Tool boxes and kitchens etc). The tents are different brands but exactly the same down to the nuts and bolts. The light coloured one I bought brand new from Flyingfish campers in Inisfail QLD and the other second hand of a mates neighbour. The FFish one was $1500 and comes with a room below the tent which HAS got a FULL PVC FLOOR which allot of others don't ( ARB at nearly twice the money and still exactly the same tent except for the fly). We only use it if we are set up for a week or so or have others with us (mum and dad). It is good for getting changed in otherwise. Most times though we dont bother with it. Will see if I have some better pics for you.
    YOU CANT POLISH A TURD.... BUT YOU CAN ROLL IT IN GLITTER.
