Major problem listed here,,,center of gravity on the trailer, keep em as low as you can, the added length with the cruiser creates an easily tippable unit. been there done this..
Please allow me to ask mr Rezarf where did you obtain the PSP you have on the roof of the cruiser???
Here's my set up for now. It is just mounted to 2x4's until I get my rack built, which will raise it up about 20". That way I will be able to access my stuff as well as have room for a pair of kayaks underneath. This tent is the Eezi-awn 2200 family tent.

lowenbrau, do you have any gas-assist shocks on your lid? That is the main thing I still have on my to-do list...
Nice pic from the back of the 40 on the trail, by the way.
If I knew what a "PSP" was, I could respond, sorry, I am clueless on this one.
Rezarf <><
Are you sure you want to top mount this, by the looks of the traveling photo you are going to be top heavy, remember ol man gravity and the narrow wheelbase are evil twins.
Hi CB, consider LineX or Duraback as a coating for the top, as well as extruded aluminum for the edges overlapped to below the trailer top lip. Waterproof as can be.
Ax and shouvel mounting brackets...Where do we get em?

I think it will do a great job, but it probably needs to be used on rough surfaces because it leaves a rough and almost gritty finish. I didn't mind it, because plywood is rough anyway.
It paints very well. I'll post pics soon.
Hey BAJA, what is your top fabbed from, material I mean, plywood, sheet metal?? Thanks
I like all the flat lockable lids, and I went that route when I first mounted my tent. However I tend to carry a lot of gear and seem to be in and out of it often, I got tired of lifting it to access the trailer, I don't have a tailgate so that doesn't help. I have also tried flipping the tent off the side out the back and now to the front. To the front has worked out the best for my set up. I set the height of the tent at about 6' so I could walk under it, but with it flipping to the front it doesn't really matter, just high enough to move coolers and stuff over the edge of the trailer. I want to get a full canvas top for it with roll up sides, just haven't found someone local to do it yet. It seems to be a never ending build, which I wonder if I should just move forward with my scratch build plans???
PSP is the military term for perforated steel plate,, you may know it as aircraft mat or just a means to cross a divide with, the steel on the street side on top of the rig. is what I need a source for. Thanks.
Thanks Dave, I owe you one. This is the setup I needed., and the outfitter is a source. Thanks again.
Heres a few shots of my junk. A direct rip-off of Henry's set up...M101 SOA w/ 35's and a custom Aluminum lockable lid with a Hannibal tent bolted to it. The frame of the lid is rectangular tube with the aluminum rivited to it...all mounted by a massive piano hinge and suported by 400lb twin gas struts. I tried 150 lb struts first but they werent beefy enough.
Couple more....
