[Outlaw]

just grab a second dome for the overflow when needed

[Disco Steve]

I hate domes:twisted: what other tents are availible?

[rangieman]

I know there are plenty of pro,s for , and con,s against :cool:

I have a single pole tent made from canvas i love it as it is very easy to put up its just a good tent allround:angel:

or one of those Oztent 30 sec jobbies... but bit pricey for a once i a while thing

[rangieman]

Oh mine is a oztrail from aussie disposals cost about $250

Ive had it about 3 years now and it gets used about once every couple of months
I have freinds that had dome tents , that have come camping with me that have gone out and bought one the same tents

One of the best things is you can stand when you get dressed or changed

thats easy, stand up, feel for the edge with your feet, check the wind direction, track around the edge till the wind will blow the stream away from the vehicle and then let it rip, bend back a little so your hips thrust forwards for that little extra clearance.

Least thats what I do when Im swagged up on the roof, I just remember to dismount via the drivers seat so that I can move on a bit before getting off completely...

I have an ARB with Annexe, sleeps the 4 of us nicely.

Set up your disco so u can sleep in the back, then carry a spare tent 4 when u need it.
Dont know about those rooftop tents,cant imagine sleeping in 1 after a big night:twisted:

Mental note to self! Wind windows up before attempting this :o:cool:

Well we did the tent thing for many years finally upgraded to a camper trailer used many tent types and ended up with a large dome tent (yes you could stand up in it) the size is 20ft x 12ft easy to erect easy to carry, we still use it for the teenage girls when they can get themselves away from internet and mobiles. We bought it from Bass Pro shop in America even with the exchange rate it was still less than half price of similar tents in Aus.The reason I am not a fan of roof top tents is once you have set up, you have lost your 4wd.
