Not likely but borrowing the brother in laws new motor home now looks more likely 😉

I’d still love to do it again but don’t think I can justify the purchase of a one at the moment....

BTW I would certainly recommend 4x4Overlander in Halifax for if any one wanted hire one, and if you decide to buy then they will refund 50%. They have a few including a hard top tent. Very knowledgeable people, with loads of experience in the industry and certainly a company I’ll be going back to.

Yeah maybe would have been a better experience for us both if it hadn’t been as windy, but gotta give things a go. Doesn’t mean I won’t hire one again, just can’t justify purchase of one.

The day I sold my RT (Well one of them Whistle ) SWMBO said "oh I liked that" even though she'd never used it Laughing

We now have one on the trailer and she's camped 4 times thus year in it Thumbs Up

I have hired from Brendan before and he was fantastic and highly recommended. Very knowledgable about overlanding. Pricing was very reasonable as well. 👍

Out of interest what sort of pruce us it to hire a roof tent and what roof rack do you need. DGARSIDE, just in Meltham, so virtually neighbours!

Have PM’d you. I used roof bars rather than rack, but would highly recommend a rack if you buying rather than one off rent. The wind underneath the tent with the height of the bars wasn’t good and didn’t feel great inside.

Bit of a thread resurrection, but after all this time and mainly just for a bit of fun..... we've bought a roof tent (new) and going to pick up the roof rack (2nd hand) this evening.

Let's hope for a little less wind (atmospheric Wink ) than the last experience.....
