How hard is it to fit a roof tent? It is certainly worth investigating

Well my brother did it so I would say bloody easy!!!!!
Don't think it was that hard TBH, I have fitted a few over the years (but not this make) and I found it easy. If you would like his email of phone number feel free to ask. Boy |

It's a 1.4 and it was bought from here ( http://www.safari-equip.co.uk/ ) I beleive they are made in germany but I am not sure. I think he bought it in 2007 and has used it on only twice I think. Once on holiday in 07 and then for a weekend.

Cibit,
They're dead easy to fit, mines (a Howling Moon) a two man lift to put on the roof bars and from there is a 5 min job to screw the bolts on. |

I have to drive to Southend on saturday evening after Phil and I have dirtied our trucks
From the south Lakes. I will be returning to the North East on Sunday from Southend. Will I be anywhere near Northamptonshire? I seem to recal Tollpuddle martyrs and every fairport convention song is about Northhamptonshire but I would not have a clue where it is in relation to motorways and such.
If I can get to it fairly easily and can organise things with your family I will have it  59 2.4 110 XS Utility

I am lined up to go taxi the girlfriends son from uni back to home. I personally think he should get the train but it may be an opportunity for a roof tent. Cheers will post as soon as confirmed

Glad you got it That trailer of his is sweet, I wish I had had it when the kids were with us. I just had to put up with a sankey with a Eazyawn on top, that said it served us well for nearly 8 yrs and I have only just sold it. Just me and the Wife now so the Oztent does the job. |
