Roof tent and camp cabinet tested!

[Nat130]

Hi all,

Went camping this weekend and tried our new roof top tent (thanks to the Market place and 3landerblue).

Also finished off the camp cabinet - works a treat and makes things a lot more organised.

We also bought an RV2 30 second tent and it is also great.

Thought I'd share some pics of our new setup, thanks to everyone for their input and assistance along the way. Thanks mcrover for your advice on modifying our roof rack too.

It looks really good can't wait to see it properly in a few weeks.

Looks like a cracking setup :)

Good looking set-up there Nat. Looks like you have also found a great camping spot - looks nice and peaceful.

Where did you end of going camping ?

[Nat130]

We went to a place called King Parrot, it is in Deans Marsh (start of the Otways). They only let 28 people camp there at any one time. Their main focus are their cabins which are at the top of the property, you drive down to the bottom of the property to get to the camp ground. (Great laugh to see 2WD go up and down after a bit of rain :) )

Great place, no one there, hot showers (Easter treat!) and they will drive down on a quad bike to drop off fire wood at night if you need it (think it is about $20 for a load that lasts about 2 nights).

At Easter it's $50 a night but normally it's $35 - not sure if it's different for more than 2 adults. There are little bush walks you can do etc but generally its just a relaxing place.

Looks great Nat and Stu,

Our tent is a bit different as it goes off the back of the Landy but it's great to see it all fits nice.

I love your camp caddy, I think I will have to knock one up for me as Im working out of a plastic box and the fridge at the moment.

I like it.

Does the whole lot move on the suspension when you move about the tent?

I think that only a 130 owner could truly appreciate the incredible sexiness of your rig!

Sorry guys been away camping so I missed your responses.

Maybe....sometimes.... I'll answer this carefully...

It's all pretty stable, can be a bit nerve racking when climbing the ladder if the person all ready up there is moving around!

It got tested in the rain this weekend for the first time and there were no leaks so that was a good thing.

Camera lense was fogged so the pics didn't turn out too good.

I like it too, Specialy the rack lol...and the tent, the 130's ok as well

I would love a 130 for the space but with all the comfort of the Disco, I just dont fit comfortably in a Defender but I still like them anyway.
