Skibum346:
Buy a sankey trailer, convert it for exped and stick your roof tent on top of it. Might not be as high as yer Disco... but camp can be left in place while you go and play!

Keeps the weight low down and frees space in the Disco as well.

Tyke:
He, He, . . . . been thinking of doing just that mate.

Over Christmas we cwent native and camped out three nights and had the Sankey set up with tarps rigged over the top with the cooking gear and beer stash set up in the tub. Made a proper nice shelter and cook house cum bar . . . . then I thought what if I rigged a platform on top for the tent  :wink:

Skibum346:
Check the Douglass Motors site as they build exped trailers and I think you'll see some pics with a tent on board.

The only weakness of their design is that if the tent is up... I don't see how you can gain access to your cargo easily.

I've seen another exped trailer firm (from SA I think) who have a high trailer with side access doors, fitted with arctic lorry style closing mechanism's... F'expensive though!  :shock:

Heh, heh, if you're going down that route then you really need something like my Desert Wolf trailer (which is for sale, by the way :)  ).

Purpose built for the job with (almost) all the comforts of home, although admittedly a bit more pricey than a Sankey :)

mmgemini:
Should I be looking at a RTT I'd go for the original make..Maggiolia.

Apart fron the comments already passed your bedding can alsoget wet if it rains.

Me I have a nice ground tent made by Greensport.
