Thank you for the photo of your NuCamp T@B 320 Boondock trailer that appears to be fitted with a Yakima track-type roof rack on its rear surface. If this is how your trailer is set up you are all ready to mount the tent for transport.

The Yakima SkyRise HD Tent # Y07437 does indeed weigh 115-lbs as you stated. The SkyRise fits on all crossbar shapes, including the round bars like # Y00409 used by Yakima, the square bars used by Thule as well as elliptical and aero-style bars.

The tent does require that the two crossbars have a center-to-center spread between 26- and 36-inches. It also requires that the combined trailer roof/roof rack have at least a 165-lb rating; both the trailer roof and the roof rack mounted on it need to have this capacity. The linked diagram shows the maximum spacing from the roof rack foot to the tent mounting clamp, which is 1-inch. The rack height cannot exceed 98-inches above ground.

I am not sure about mounting the tent on the Boondock's curved roof. Naturally in order for the tent to be occupied it would have to be mounted on a level surface that meets the specs noted above and I do not see how this would be possible with the Boondock. If your tow vehicle has a compatible roof rack and weight rating then you could transport the tent on the trailer and mount it on the vehicle once at your destination.
