Some images of the Tepui Tent (and my jeep) in action this past weekend on the Slick Rock Trail by Lake Alpine:

I'll be picking my Kukenam to mount on my kayak/camping trailer Saturday. Got mine at RackNRoad. They even gave me a military discount! I was hoping to have it ready for the Clearlake tournament but I'm gonna have to wait to use over the 4th of July weekend now.

The tent is rate at 500lbs; but you need to make sure you rack/bars can also support that load. The tent itself wieghs +100lbs, depending on which model you get...

I'll take some inside pics this weekend; gonna open it up and install some LED light strips anyways.... I'll post them up soon!

It sits nicely on top that trailer! You're already for the holiday weekend!!!!

PS: look into buy an "anti-condensation matt"; it will add another 1/2 of cushion under the existing mattress and keep moisture from building up in between the mattress and base.

This is the base, for those who were wondering. I used e-track and e-track 2x4 beam acessories (I used 2x6's). I counter sunk the base, I wanted the tent to sit flush with the top of the trailer sides.

I opt'd to have mine a little higher off the ground to keep taller animals from peeking inside

And light up your interior!

Wow! $135!! I got mine on amazon for $5 almost the same thing.

Price depends on length and other selection...  And you dont have to wait for it to come from China on a ship.... Hhaha
