As my van is under a long restoration i have now bee looking at getting one of these tents when it comes back. Has anyone ever seen one or have one. not sure of the quality of these as the price is a bit high they are now selling them online but some advice or alternative Recommendation would be cool http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prime-Tech-dach-Tent-240x140x130cm/dp/B002SK71D4 if you have an opinion then lets here it. Cheers
I think they look ridiculous, as well as being difficult to navigate in the dark and whilst *******ed. O0
These are quite popular in Australia. On the roof it keep the bugs, critters and snakes out. I can't see much point of them in the UK though. Do like 'em though.
Considering one for the back of the westy for the kids. Can sleep two and would be accessible via the elevating roof. We need an option for when the boys to big for the cab hammock. Tent or awning is an option but would worry about security.
That would be a blast watching people try to get out when it starts to blow away in our gale force winds
There were a few at Glastonbury last year. They looked quite good and it was amusing to see a neat line of wellies at the bottom of the ladder.
I had one for a few years - initially on Series Land Rover then a Rangie. Bought mine second hand and it still looked like new when I sold it for as much as I bought it for - £500. They hugely expensive new! I don't think the quality of the one you're looking at would be the same - try Ezi Awn or Howling Moon - you'll be looking at well over £1000! They are quickish to erect - but a bit of a faff to get the 'extensions' out - you need to be built like a Gorilla and have the same climbing ability They are as said a long way up and navigating up and down at night for a pee turns ino a bit of challenge - especially if under the influence > They sway around in the wind - pretty narrow inside - black as black thing when zipped in. They knock you MPG and Speed down and once on best left on as they weigh a fair bit! I loved it ;D And I never got attacked by Wild Animals, bitten by a Snake or whatever in the UK. Saw one a top a Bus at Camperjam last year - looked kinda of neat 8)
Camped in Scotland next to one on a brand new landrover (all the kit no idea) woke up in the morning to find them asleep in the landrover apparently its i bit like being at sea when the wind picks up. )
