Tent on a trailer.



I had purchased a Coleman Instant tent (4) person for camping several years ago. Recently I purchased a tent canopy for shade when camping. I wondered what this setup would be like mounted on a utility trailer I used to haul my ATV when riding. I like the idea that it is off the ground, and the canopy affords protection from the rain if needed. The toolbox on the front of the trailer serves as a step for access in the tent. The tent allows me to stand up and is 7X8. The trailer is 6'-4"X10' but the tent looks ok on the trailer. I use a folding cot with a memory foam pad for comfort.

Now how did it sleep? Honestly there are several things that interfered with my sleep. Number one is I don't sleep good away from home. Two it got down to 37 degrees that night with high winds blowing. Three maybe the cot with memory foam mattress was not quite comfortable. Forth and one of the main reasons was I was out at the Art Lilley area of the Uwharries and folks hollering up to about 2:30am at other campsites that should have been asleep. Maybe had a little to much drinky. Certainly no consideration for others. I will live.
