Tent on top?

Hey, saw a pic from a Land Cruiser site that showed a small trailer being hauled behind - when the trailer was opened a full sized tent was on top and an awning with cooking gear was on the other side. There was a ladder for getting up into the tent. Has anyone seen these? Has anyone modified them to fit in a truck/short bed? Seems like it would be easier to pull in and out than a camper and sure would cut down on gas some being it wouldn't have much wind drag nor weight.

Anyway, just curious.

probly what you saw was a Tentrax trailer. neat little trailers, but if you want something for in the bed, a truck tent would be your easiest bet.
