This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.
In all the years I've done camping - granted, not nearly as much off-roading - I've never seen or heard of roof tents until I bought a Land Rover and started poking on on the internet sites. Now I see them everywhere!
I'm used to sleeping on the ground, outside, open air or in a tent, or at worst in the vehicle. But there seems to be a number of people with these roof tents.
So, how do they work? How much do people like them? What are the drawbacks or advantages? It seems to me that the concept is to get you off the ground in a compact footprint. What other reasons are there?
It's very interesting and normally I might be less inclined but as I sit here in the third day of drizzle and heavy rain it seems more appealing!
Thanks.
