Oasis Rooftop Tent

G'day all!
A few weeks ago I got a copy of an Aussie 4x4 magazine into my hands. They had a feature about rooftop tents and I just wonder if anyone here has had any experience of a tent called Oasis II. An advert in the mag mentions a website but it doesn't seem to work.
The tent itself may look somewhat funny but is about half the weight of a common roof tent.

Any advice appreciated.
Cheers

Thats the job that has the tensioned cords to support your body instead of a solid floor, weighs around 17kg or something.Looks good, would be interested also.

I know it's a bit 'crass', but it is functional up here in the North, cools interior to 4deg c on a 40deg c odd day even in the County!. It works this efficiently from a standard compressor, it never has to work hard.

Sounds good, have you got a vent installed in the tent ?? now that would be cool

What sort of money is it to get something like that installed ??

Have you got anymore pics of the setup ?

I reckon it could be a tad hard to sleep though with the engine running next door!
