I'm considering the Frontrunner roof tent - although the name (featherlite) gives me some concern Rolling Eyes

FWIW: Mag lites now come in LED variants that are uncomfortably bright (4 watt) and wll last a long time on few batteries. I keep a 3 D-cell mag lite in the vehicle for digging around under the bonnet. Wouldn't go anywhere without one.

discodad, how are you getting on with the maggiolina? any problems, issues etc. am loooking for a "rooftop sleeping solution" and this seems to be the best one, like the howling moon etc but seems after research they may not be so good at the UK climate,

anyone else got these?

I must admit to only having used it a few times.

It has been fine though. Very quick to put up & down but very little room.

(Make sure you go to the little boys room before you retire for the evening)!

I originally bought it for me & SWMBO for when we went touring abroad but may consider selling it if the price is right.

hey ray,

did a load of digging around on other LR forums and expo etc, everyone seems to love the howling moon, were some comments about the flysheet dumping water down your neck and flapping in the wind, nothing too major though,

discodad, you have pm.
