Not sure if this is the correct place but I'm after a rooftent for the D3. But after a bit of research I'm after a :
Howling Moon 1.4m with the drop down awning on the end.
Side awning 2m
Patriot roofrack to mount it all on.
Would prefer to deal with 1 company for all of it rather than have to tramp around the stalls buying it piecemeal. I'd rather get it all in 1 hit.
So where is the best place to buy this setup? HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE

Whatever you do, be sure to check the weight of the tent + roofrack. It's very easy to exceed the limits. I ended up putting my somewhat heavier ARB tent on the top of a trailer and having just a shade awning on the D3 top (shade is something we need a lot of here)  Jim Dowell - D4 HSE TDi, 12,000 hydraulic winch & hidden winch mount, MTRs, TyreDog, Traxide 2 x aux battery system, fixed air compressor, Dolium roof rack, MitchHitch.

Many thanks for that info. Hadn't comsiderd the complete weight that the D3 can take. I knew the rack had a limit.
Does anyone know the limit of the D3 roof rails. I don't have a panoramic roof or sunroofs. As some at work would say I have a poverty spec D3   HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE
