Re:

What happens if someone "accidentally" pushes or knocks that ladder from under you while you're sleeping up there?
The ladder is bolted to the hinge attached to the base of the tent.. add that to the weight of people sleeping in it.. going nowhere. Considering it's designed to support a user of upto 120kg... pretty sure it's safe hey.

What if someone not so accidentally pulls out his or her socket set and removes the ladder. Obviously this person would regularly stay up later than you guys while camping and may or may not have a very childish sense of humour....

Re:
Go ahead and try it, punk with a combined weight of 150kg loading on those bolts, it'd take you a noisy 5-10mins and Jess would panic/scream enough to wake even me up, haha.

30s Oztent. The only way to go :P
Looked at the Oztent but the only standing room was right at the front as the back slopes down quite steeply. Not enough room to get changed inside we thought for the 3 of us.

Re:
Kev, I'm only 1.6m tall so suits me real well. Still beats trying to change in the smaller dome tents. LOL

Re:
A possible solution to the RTT is what Dad and I are thinking: decent quality off road box trailer, with the RTT on the H-Bars.
We're thinking of getting a high sided one, which will fit essentially everything, and potentially a cover over the box trailer. That way, easy to strap some kayaks down or anything long (e.g put a timber basket above the box trailer, and below the H-bars for the RTT.
Some companies make adjustable H-bars, so its nice and low on the highways, and then lift up to get the required height for the RTT + awning on the other side!
