Great idea and if you don't mind me suggesting adding a shelf plank over the brackets to spread the weight a bit better and to avoid the pinch points.
Very cool though...
I'd say "bad joints bad" don't lend themselves to getting into and out of a RTT even if it is set up at a lower level on say a trailer. Not to mention the extra work of setting up and tearing down a RTT, especially if it is high up on a vehicle.
