Great idea. We did a similar thing a couple of months ago.
My 31 yo son asked us to take him and his wife to Colorado a couple of months ago. We installed a Roofnest tent on top of our Overland trailer and towed it behind our truck camper. Worked great!

It’s a Dinoot trailer..

It is basically a kit. I had the frame welded up locally and went from there.

the guy who did mine moved to FL.
i have used these two companies over the past few years...
Angle Shop
540-721-1259
on Rt 122 just north of Rocky Mount
Nichols Welding
540-483-5308
just off Rt 220 North of Rocky Mount.
if we ever have another meet up at the BBQ joint at Towers I could bring it and you can see it in person..
what got me started down this rabbit hole was that we wanted a trailer to haul our kayaks around and in looking at the ridiculous prices companies were asking for just a basic trailer we decided to go this route. We can store a bunch of stuff inside the trailer and put our kayaks on top (after removing the RTT). We took the trailer with the RTT on it to Colorado and Utah this summer and it towed great. The only thing I would change is that I used a 3500# axle and spring set and it is pretty stiff. I would go to a 2000# set up next time.

Thanks for that.. yeah its been a bit of a rabbit hole for me too.. Was going to get a cheap trailer from Harbor Freight and just add truck racks to it for Kayaks/Canoes and extended tongue.. quickly escalated into looking at one for varied adventures... basically a do all trailer. Hopefully they will do a meetup, would be nice to meet some people close to me.
