For those of you that have a cargo trailer with a ramp door this is something that can give you more sq.ft. of space:http://www.dyersonline.com/dometic-standard-xtend-a-room.html or this: https://youtu.be/GpmQ9gyj6c0

That is a nice set up. My understanding is that it is only available for the ATC brand toy haulers. If your dimensions were compatible that would be great, but there is a lot of variance in ramp sizes. The concept is solid and ripe for "borrowing".

What an awesome idea! A flip up roof is a cool idea make or add a screen room or tent if on a budget.

I found this on amazon with two big doors. Front and back goes inside of a 10x10 pop up canopy. Have not bought one yet. Have the canopy, and that will be next purchase. Might be an option for a rig up.

I have been interested in this for a while. I would love to add a tent over the ramp for the cold months when we are deer hunting and have guests. If anyone can figure out a DIY, let us know.

I’m eventually planning on fabricating a canopy/awning that goes over my rear gate which is my “porch” when I level it with jack stands. Maybe I’ll add a bug net down the road too

A while back I wrote to the guys at Clam Outdoors and told them to look into developing something like this for cargo trailers (no affiliation):
http://stores.clamoutdoors.com/flip-over?_ga=2.260121871.348724628.1526586810-577660604.1526586810

Basically, the drop down capability that could attach to a cargo trailer rear entrance or go up and over the rear of the trailer to secure it. Get them made in 6', 7', and 8.5' widths. Add doors/windows etc to make it more usable since we're not ice fishing.

Using the following picture, imagine the trailer being where the boat is.

Those ice fishermen are pretty sharp cookies.
