A roof top tent weighs between 100 lbs and 175 lbs, and their size and shape add to the challenge. But I've found a way to put it on and take it off without a helper - it's now a one person job. And I'm serious when I say it's pretty easy, too. There are two parts to this.
1. Make a cart/skateboard for your tent. You'll spend about $30 in strong caster wheels, and maybe $30 in a sheet of 3/4" plywood. See it in this video.
2. Use a tip and roll onto the tail gate. Or if you don't have a tail gate, a table or chair would work. Watch the video.
The cart not only lets you maneuver the tent around your garage but it makes a dandy place to store the tent. When it's time to get this thing on your vehicle, roll it on out and position it. Keep the tent on end, tip it toward the tail gate and keep going. Lift up on the ground end until it's standing on the tail gate. Wah-la. Tip it onto the roof bars and slide the tent into place.
