monkie Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Not my image nor is it on a Land Rover, but I'm sure this "modification" could easily be done on any Land Rover and I like the idea of it for camping.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Not sure about the splintered chunk of wood holding it up, looks like a recipe for a Nige-style A+E visit story Soren - I think that's Flåm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I thought that people who are into camping aren't bothered about the odd splinter here and there?! Personally I think that it would benefit from a privacy curtain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnarne Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 The whole family on our way back from a scout camp in 2012. Me and my wife in the roof tent, Oldest son in the hammock outside, and the 2 youngest kids inside the car The closest "neighbor" had a RV-home with boggie, and a tv the size of my windscreen.

miketomcat Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Cough back on topic.... A roof tent is great but only if you either move every day or don't mind walking everywhere. As whilst you can put it down each time you want go anywhere A. Its a pain and B. If it's wet you or your gear gets at best damp. Ground tents are great as well but again if you move everyday you have the damp issue and you need a tent that packs up quickly.

Boris113 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 If it's just me or we go away last minute then we tend to sleep in the back of the 110, with the bike removed there's space for 2 of us, I am 5'11" and can lie flat / stretch out without hitting the back door. The lockable boxes making the floor have chequer tops so there's some rubber backed carpet door mats on top for insulation and then we on sleep self-inflating camping mats. Plenty of insulation in the roof/side panels keeps it warm and condensation free. Best of all it's pretty subtle and doesn't attract the attention that a roof tent or large camper might do. For longer trips we tend to take a tent to get a bit more room and you don't have to move all the kit around in the back before sleeping or pack up everything to fetch a pint of milk etc. We use a Quecha XL3 which goes up in a couple of mins and has held up to some awfully strong winds. There's an awning on the side which gives room for cooking / beer drinking in the rain. Very happy so far with the set-up, compared with a roof tent it's much cheaper and flexible. Overall height of the vehicle remains below 2.2m which a lot of car parks seem to be across Europe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the awining is about in place it's just a matter of pumping the beams up. How long the beams will last I have no idea but seems a bit easier with very littele lifting to be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 This is my setup with the 88". I've been fine tuning my setup the past 2 years so that it suites my needs. Within minutes we can have the camp set up, the grill fired up and a beer in hand. This years plan is to make a bike carrier at the rear so that we can carry our bikes and tour Bornholm this summer at DLRK summer meet.

Fingers crossed that NLRK gets access to this route again in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon W Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Borris I really like that setup and would do exactly that in a 110 if I had one, or a Fox wing awning so that when getting in and out the back you can stay dry. Also Tuko that is a nice setup you have there. Definitely so ideas for me. It look like I maybe ending up with a 90 hard top in place of my series, so I may look at something more permanent for that.... watch this space 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got the same roof tent with the additional skirt, but I rarely use that as it’s a real faff to put up. Like you, we can havevthe tent up and ready for sleep in minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
