Curious if anyone has tried mounting a Flippac to trailer?

Why? The virtue of a flip pac is that it allows you to use the bed of a truck as well as giving the extra space of the tent.
It would also have to be mounted on a cargo-type trailer with a bed, unless of course you wanted to "low crawl" through the lift gate in order to get into the thing (on a truck mounted flip pac you'd drop the tailgate and lift the liftgate and walk right in.)
Seems to me a flip-pac on a trailer would have the half the usefulness as a RTT on a trailer but at 2x the cost.
Doesn't make much sense.

It's a good idea in a pick-up bed trailer as shown above because you gain the main advantage of the FlipPac... Namely you double your living area AND have stand-up headroom.
I have a truck bed trailer I use for off-roading also. Was looking at a flippac recently but the issue was it would have to be folded towards the tow rig and space would be prohibitive. Unless it was always detached from the rig as in the above pic. I guess one could jacknife the trailer. I like the idea.
