I was bored, surfing the net for dormobile modification info, camp trailers, and the like...and I stumbled on this company In Eugene, OR that makes some nice looking off-roadable camp trailers.  I don't know if anyone else here has seen them, but I thought they looked nice.   Check them out here:

Nice, lightweight, and very manueverable. The price is not too outrageous at (3,000 to start). The purpose is to get out on the backroads and trails and this trailer might just make it fine. Personally, in the Great Northwet I like to sleep off the ground even if that means folding doen the rear seats.

It looks just heavy enough to hold down a garage in a windstorm, (ahem)

I've been looking at racktents but I'm a do-it-yourselfer and having a tough time justifying a couple of grand for the retail variety. I already have a rack. How often would I really use it. Much noggin scratchin.

I have been using an Adventure Trailer for about a year now.  It has long-travel independent suspension, which is unique in the NA market.

Paul,

One cheaper alternative to the rooftop tents offered by Hannibal and the like are the Kamp-rite "Tent Cots".  They come in single, oversize, or double and can be fastened to a roofrack with U-bolts.

Don't get me started on the whole trailer thing again......it's a dangerous, slippery slope into debt.
