    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...
