Roof tent

Post by vinnyp » Wed Aug 19, 2015 4:28 pm

So I decided to buy a new roof tent and took a bit of a punt on a company I found on evil bay. I must say I am well impressed and Kevin from http://www.adventurehire.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; was great to deal with, I highly recommend them. I was going to get one of the big brands but it was a bit too rich, this one cost me £1350 delivered, what do you think?ImageImage

Looks good, easy to set up and pack away? Is it gas struts or wind up like Magiollina?

Yes gas struts, goes away in minutes. Been well thought out with roof cargo nets, side storage and hooks, even came with a decent led light.

That's a great set up, what is the awning and what does it look like on the car when down?
