Having to Grandsons it struck me camping may be a bit of fun next year. What i would like to do it get one of those tents that go on the roof, like some of the more rugged expedition types i have seen.Does anyone know if are available or has anyone done this ? I look forward to any advice from the FFRR knowledge bank out there.

My local independent does them (Nene Overland) - not seen one on a FFRR but they may do them - try contacting the manufacturer -

Roof tents generally don't have proprietary racks - they're universal and you need a rack to mount them to. The tent dealers will help you out. Most racks will more than suffice for general use - the tents weigh around 30kg. And you don't need much more load capacity than that because, while with 2 people in a RTT you'll likely have 150kg+, it is a static load. The load capacities on racks are for a dynamic load (potholes, etc.). If you do heavy off roading you'll need more capacity.

They look like a really bad comb over. |

If I get a FFRR I will be fitting my Maggiolina Safari roof tent on Thule roof bars, as pictured on my current RR Classic below:

Not at all! You can go anywhere you would normally go in your FFRR, and then setup camp in under 2 minutes (for my tent) or around 5 minutes for the fold-out style ones! Compared to the agony that is assembling a normal ground tent, pegging it in, getting wet, etc, it's bliss!! Current fleet: BMW 330Ci M-Sport coupe - daily driver and long distance cruiser Range Rover Classic Vogue SE (3.9 V8 on LPG, soft dash model with EAS) - weekend car and generally uneconomical runabout Suzuki GSX-R750 K6 'Stealth' - trackdays and high speed touring! Wanted: Either FF Range Rover Td6 or Range Rover Sport TDV6 - can't decide! |
