that sounds a better job than the one iv seen on the net that used staples lolWhat this guy did was drilled holes in the flat bed that took the end cap of a tent pole to hold the canvas, with a "pelmet" that reached to the ground ad pegged down.
i do think that its a good idea and saves so much weight compared to a caravan, but its the hassle of putting it up when its late at night tipping down with rain and all you want is a cuppa and dry clothes. then having to pack away while its wet so you have to dry it out before storing it, i suppose its no worse than a tent or maybe even easier as it has its own base ect.
i did see one a while ago it looked like a mini teardrop caravan but it was only about 3ft long 3ft wide and about 4ft high and it was ridged construction. all you did was realise the catches and the back end pulled away from the front, as it did the middle bit unfolded and was a tent type material. it looked quite good it was only designed as a 1 man sleeping area but it was more the way it folded and unfolded in a couple of seconds and it was very manoeuvrable with it being so small when towed . it was a trailer for a motor bike but i think the principles are the same and it wouldn't be to hard to adapt for my trike lol
