As requested, I will start a new thread for mods made to our passports for camping in general. For me, I recently installed a roof top tent on my passport. I use my vehicle a lot for camping in remote spots, national parks, etc. I do a lot of landscape and wildlife photography and was previously sleeping in the back of the passport when traveling. However, space was a bit limited and I wanted something more comfortable as well. So I installed a James Baroud roof top tent. I considered other tents such as roofnest and alucab.
The installation was easy and I used the Yakima timberline with core bars for the platform. So far, I've taken one 2K+ mile trip and slept in it for about 2 weeks straight. I inspected all connection points and see no sign of stress so far. MPG dropped about 1.5MPG, but that is a limited assessment.
Next will be 18'' wheels and more robust tires for added piece of mind when light off roading. Possibly a custom drawer setup in the back to provide better storage organization and some sort of cook set up. Right now I just use a cooler and plastic bins, and cookstoves best suited to backpacking.
Anyway, A few pics if you didn't see them in the other threads.
