We loved our roof top tent mounted on a Smittybilt off-road trailer (I bought the first Smittybilt sold in the Northwest). We dragged that thing all over the place, including rock crawling. Alas, new knees and hip made it less fun getting in and out of the tent on the ladder, so now my oldest son has the trailer and tent, but we had a blast while it lasted.

The box is 37" x 66" x 24" Side wall 18"
The tray carries hunting and fishing gear and can be accessed without opening up the whole trailer
