    Sleeping arrangements

    Thanks for your interest Daniel. Yes currently family of 3. I'm only expecting that the pop-top at 2.0m long and however wide it will be (1.5m?) will only be big enough for 2 people. The pop-top would be along the lines of the attached photo of the landcruiser (note hard roof), but with protruding at the top rear (like the tent equivalent in the photo posted 1 Nov) to get the necessary length for the bed and keep the canopy base to 1.7m or so.

    There is no intention of using the inside of the canopy for anything other than storage. So I think my options are:
    1. Small tent, with mum or dad in with kid(s) until they are old enough.
    2. Roof-top tent on front as per picture of 130 below. I like this option, but dread getting kids up and down.
    3. Some sort of awning and skirt arrangement with a camp stretcher or the like. I have only seen one example of an awning that utilises the pop-top roof (see photo attached), and I can't quite get my head around which bit to enclose and how to do it effectively.
    4. Get you to build me a 130 wagon like yours!

    Thoughts?
