roof top tent on troopy

[betsy]

any body had any experince with a roof top tent on a troopy ? iv been runing a qween size swag in my roof rack on long trips cape ex and has been ok one up looking at a tent for my next trip because im taking the missus and would b bit more room for 2. looking at a south african made tent ov 50 kg only bad point i can see is the extra weight up high- any opinions would b great cheers .

50kg would be less weight than some swags anyway.
I doubt you'd feel the weight, and wind drag should be no worse than the swag.
Just my opinion, never driven a troopie.

I use a roof tent but on a trailer.
It weighs 46KG including mattress.

Only issue I had on a recent High country trip was low tree branches trying to rip the cover apart. On a lifted Patrol I only just noticed the extra weight up there.

5 star way to go camping, we've got a howling moon on the roof of a gutlux. get a good quality one, some i found to have really cheap meterials. http://www.opensky.com.au/

I have a roof top tent for sale if interested.

Friends also have one they used on a troopy an had no issues. I also use mine on my 80 series with 35s, six inch suspension lift and no sway bays. It did increase the body role (like I expected) but not to bad.

Email me if you are interested dwayne.kersey@saiglobal.com
