Anyone put a rooftop tent on an enclosed cargo trailer?

We're looking at doing a conversion of a cargo trailer, and want to put a rooftop tent up top... but can't find a rack that'll work. The roof of the trailer is rounded (Interstate/Trailersplus trailer). Anyone ever do this? I can't seem to find much on the internet regarding information on this.

I have a rrt on my trailer. I used van 2 roof racks. They might be called ladder racks. I’ll see if I can find a picture.

I put a smittybilt rtt on an interstate 4x6 cargo trailer. Pictures are too big too post. Mine has the rounded roof too. I used four of the high rise rain gutter mounts like the old Thules.

Contractors put ladder racks and pipe racks on enclosed trailers all the time. Maybe check with your local truck accessory shop and see what they have.

That is a nice set-up. I am thinking of expanding mine to sleep 2 more on the roof.

Same issue with mine. I was able to use some old racks and mount 3 SS Bolts. One bolt to each side and one right down the middle of the roof. Takes a little fort and sealing properly but sets up very strong Once all hardware is in place.
