Did I read somewhere you're gunna get a roof top tent? If so, how are you going to get into bed from the ground?

Rooftop tent is a second hand Shippshape. Folds out to the side with sleeping area fully supported by canopy so ladder can be removed when no-one 'upstairs', giving more useable space under awning compared to those that rely on ladder for support. Note in the pic below the rope holding it's top cover on. The original elastics 'let go' on a windy day as I was driving, & the whole bloody tent opened up at about 70kph. No damage done, but I need to get a new top cover made anyway because it's higher up than on it's original vehicle & the outer awning wall needs extending to reach the ground. The step ladder is a double sided one I cut shorter by one rung on each side, & added some aluminium plates which lock onto the rail alongside the tent when ladder is folded out, but still allow the ladder to be fully folded for storage. Flat rungs are easier on bare feet than the two piece heavy steel ladder that came with the tent. It fits easily across the width of the canopy inside at the rear, or can clip onto the spare wheel holders.
