Greg,

My gut feeling is that this is not what you are looking for. You would have to take it down each time you move your rig, you would have to climb up into it and back down, if your wife is with you, I really can't see her wanting to use a roof topper, I know I wouldn't. I remember when they used to use sheet metal that you could actually stand on and not dent, they don't do that any more. Most of the racks on the top of SUV's and pickup canopies have a weight restriction and it isn't very high.

Like I said, my gut feeling is look for another way. They have tents that almost pop into place and take down as fast. However, if you are fishing in minus 15 dgree weather then you would need a lot more than that kind of tent.

Can you buy yourself a small travel trailer and set it up in a campground near where you fish. You would want power and a place that has shower and toilet facilities. Then leave the RV there and travel during the day to your fishing locations. That is the way to go.
