Roof top tent options

**Owen** · 12th November 2016, 08:48 AM

Hi all,
I am looking for a decent size roof top tent to put on my ,11 to sleep the kids in. We have an Ultimate Camper and I want something fast and with an annex to put up and maintain some separation between us and our 4 little angels. Suggestions welcome, was thinking either bars and a tent or a platform and the tent. We will be travelling in it for a 5 week trip next year plus weekends away when we can.

Is the roof top for the adults??

No sure what the budget is but I rate the ones that fold up full length plus you get a room. There are a few manufactures that do them. We swapped ours between the defender and trailer depending on the trip.

I don't reckon it would be much behind the ones that fold in half time wise to pack up.....unpacking is just as quick.

It's for the 4 kids. I do like that option.

2 up, 2 down??

I think Hannibal make a version with a bigger sleeping area.

They are all worried about crocodiles, crazy but if they don't disturb my sleep this will be worth it !

Checkout Gordigear RTT. We don't have the additional room yet, but very pleased with the quality and size and ease.

Just put them in swags, and tell them that crocs can't open zippers.

Are the kids OK climbing ladders at night?

You could get two tents end to end, or side by side on the roof if you wanted. You can get cheap units which will also supply an awning with a room too, which could help if you get caught in bad weather.
