My Dad (maybe a little advanced in years) is looking for a tent to mount on his 6 x 4 trailer. Simple, not too many addons. Does anyone know where I should start to look for this type of thing? The only thing I've found so far which is anything like he's looking for is Oztrail Camper6.
thanks in anticipation

Good luck

Thanks for that. That's where our search started. The onlymodel Ray's could show us was far too complex - big and roomy and many canvas flaps (therfore too many points for problems). We're hoping to find something simpler

Hi Anne, for something really simple I've seen trailers with Oztents mounted on them. They'd need to be mounted on a timber base that was bolted to the trailer. I guess it would need some sort of cover to secure the tent while travelling. It would be very fast to erect. Cheers. Rob.

Thanks Rob that might be worth a bit of investigation. The Oz tents certainly erect quickly.
I think our trip got him thinking! When I see what modifications he's made to his new unit already I can believe he'll try anything! He's talking about Jamieson as a roadtest in spring... reminds me of Arthur T!
