Arjan Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I had the Hannibal on the 88"for a few days but took it off. Parabolics and a roll cage made for interesting driving.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will leave my paras on and see how it is with the tent on and if need be i will switch to std multileaf springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigj66 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I’ve been thinking of fitting a roof tent to the Sankey when I do it up. Like the idea of just hitching up and driving off for a weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh i was thinking of doing the same with my trailer more for long jurnts where it would save putting up and taking down the tent everytime i wanted to leave the campsite but going away for a weekend it can stay on the landy's roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I’ve been thinking of a RTT recently - but they seem too narrow for us. We take our little one and sleep three in a row - our matts add up to about 154cm and the tents all seem narrower than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjan Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The Hannibal was a "soft side" Very big, heavy and solid (...I really miss that 110 CSW....) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
