The tent took all the weight through the canvas and the strapping and only dropped about an 1 1/2" so I think there would be no reason for you to need it.

I'll just add that it is the best thing that we ever bought as an accessory for the landrover and we have even used it when weve had a few too many when at a freinds place for dinner, it's great.

Wouldn't do it much good in the long run, would it

We borrowed an EeziAwn last year, for the Simpson. I was a bit concerned that the ladder settled into the sand overnight, and overtensioned the tent. No problems, but sooner or later there'll be issues I would have thought.

We went with a Mr Swagman partly for this reason. If ever there was a ladder issue, we could still clamber up the window sills & use it.

i bought one of the ebay jobs with the aluminum base on it... haven't used it yet but seems to be well made

HI outlaw,I,ve just bid for one of the roof top tents on ebay,could I ask you how much you paid for yours (if you dont mind)just to give me some idear on what to pay.....regards keith

from memory 800 + 100 postage...

was quite helpful even though tnt lost the bloody tent for a week (they did deliver the ladder the next day though)... so tell me how you can deliver a small box for a ladder... and lose a 1100x1200x500mm box

Thanks outlaw,I,ve just bid $750,for the thing on ebay,hopefully I,ll get it for that price (being looking around awhile for a cheap tent)anyway thanks.......by the way which company delivered it,and how long before it was delivered

You guys got me to thinking.... Now I'm watching about 15 roof top tents on ebay to see what price range they go for.

I found one for $699 Buy it Now in Melb. It may be worth considering if the prices of the other ones get too high. I think their interstate freight may be a bit more though.
