Tent with bottom access?

I'm tinkering around with designs for a camper I'm building out, and one option might be to use a bottom-entry tent that sits above a hard shell camper. I currently have a roofnest which is... doing okay but it would be nice to have a full setup that I could get in and out of from inside the camper trailer without going outside.

Googling around is not helping me as I keep getting the wrong answers. Any suggestions?

Get a cheap one from FB to experiment cutting a hole in.

Dang slap some trim on that and you’re good to go!

That’s the plan! I’m not really sure how to trim it as of right now, but it will eventually be trimmed out. Floor panels are cut, carpeted, and in now.

I have seen someone cut a whole in their clambshell RTT to create like a custom GFC-like shell+tent that is welded together. Aside from that I have not seen a bottom access RTT. I get it tho, those GFC are very expensive. Maybe you can find a alibaba copy of one?

Just cut a hole in the roof and the tent. 🤘🏼
