changing room attachment

Postby Aaron Coffee » Wed Sep 13, 2006 5:57 pm

At Minden 2005 I saw a few changing room attachments, made out of conduit I think. Never thought to take some pics though. Does anyone have pics or plans for these. That would be a good way to attch my tent. The tent is made to attach over the back of a suv or pickup with topper.
Thanks

I just use bungee cords. It works fine.
I also attach the rain fly/awning sideways so it goes accross the roof of the tear.
Here are some pics:

Another option would be to get an awning track made for a RV awning, and modify the tent or tarp to slide in the track. Sorry, but I can't find a pic right now, but it's a piece of aluminum trim that looks like a letter P with a slot cut out of it.

Cool, never thought of that. I know what you are talking about. I will check that out, might even be able to do double duty as a rain gutter. I am kind of leary of putting screws in the roof and creating leaks. I see your from Rapid, I'm from the other end of the state(Elk Point, SD). Guess I need to update my profile.
Thanks

Aaron, I think you might have been camped next to my trailer at Minden. Is this by chance, your trailer?

Mine is the blue one in the background, just to the left of the open galley.

Yep, that's mine. I didn't realize how messy the galley was. I have since moved the air condition underneath the galley, will get pictures eventually(raining today, so no pictures today). Planning on attending ITG nest year wherever it will be.
