Decathlon pop up tent £100 quid blow up mattress £30 . Looks good an that but I'm not paying 1300 to sleep on the roof of my car. Fucking small tent at end of the day
Just wondering what the safe speed limit would be with the tent up? Would the ladder impede my progress in anyway whilst driving on narrow country lanes? It’s a great idea the kids travelling in the tent and I wouldn’t keep getting asked “Are we there yet Dad”. Just ordered mine well worth the money.
I don't see the point in it? This tent is over £1200. You can get a three person ground tent for about £50. What is the advantage to sleeping up high? You still have to take everything out of it before collapsing it down like any other tent and it is more of a pain because you have to carry stuff down a ladder. I can think of one disadvantage straight away. Being buffetted about by strong winds will be worse than on the ground. It seems a bit of an expensive gimmick to me.
There are 2 different types of weight load limits - Dynamic (in motion) & Static weight loads (General rule of thumb is usually 2 - 3x your dynamic load limit)
I love this as I cant afford a camper, but I jjust wish there was some way of integrating it into the car boot instead so you were on ground level. I just don't want to be that high up.
@@pngit1 good idea. But I don't really want to tow anything, that's why I don't want a caravan. I'd really love something that converts an ordinary car boot/trunk to a tentbox, but there's nothing like that really on the market.
@laurenholmes5507 no. A tent is on the ground. You have to pitch it. What I would like is something that extends out of the car boot so you've got the comfort of virtually sleeping I your car - so basically any car can convert into a camper. Without having to sleep high up on the roof. It's a really simple simply concept to be honest #satire
The maximum load limit for the roof of of a Vauxhall Corsa (featured in this film) is 60kg. Not including the roof tent, the average weight of a female (featured in this film) is 72kg and the average weight of a male (featured in this film) is 85kg. Having two adults (again, not even considering the weight of the roof rails, or roof tent) is exceeding the maximum load limit specified by the manufacturer by 97kg.... How do you justify this to your potential customers??
Always loved the idea of these but where in the uk can you set one of these up, most vehicle access sites are terrible here, is there any woodland that allows them
' it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission ' If I think of Wyre forest or Cannock chase, there are so many places to park. I suppose you may get a rude awakening by a forestry commission person if you're spotted...
