Installing a Tip-out Pop-Out Tent in cargo trailer?

Iv always liked these Tip-out Pop-Out Tents and wondered how difficult it would be to install one in a older enclosed featherlite 4926 cargo trailer? I know once you cut the opening you would have to weld in horizontal aluminum headers.. So, would you have to remove the exterior aluminum skin (very difficult) , or be able to pry the skin away enough to cut the studs shorter and weld in the header? I cant imagine being able to weld the backside of the header with the skin in the way.

Thanks!

rerod, I think your plan will work. If you are able to put a solid, hefty header on top and bottom, I see no reason why you could not make it work. Pretty novel idea you've got going on there. I've never seen this before. Pretty cool! Thanks!

Thanks.. $1,699.99 Wow!!

The instructions don't mention anything about cutting studs and adding headers, so Ill assume this Bed Door Fold-out Tent is intended for new construction or while the camper is still in the design phase..

Thats a pretty neat idea to me...



On the inside this only takes up about a foot of space it appears...
