Can't be very aerodynamic. Don't you risk the tent flying away as you drive around?  Monsieur Le Grenadier

@cyberhusky.
If the weather is bad, the hardshell is amuch nicer place to be and I've slept fine through some pretty horrible weather up in the Lakes. The downsides are it is much heavier. This particular design is very slimline (15cm deep) which helps aerodynamics but restricts how much bedding you can leave in the tent. It obviously has a much bigger footprint as well. This isn't a problem on the 130 but could be on a 90 or 110 as it will use up all of your roofrack space. I always find soft shell tents flap to much when the weather gets really bad Saying that, when the weather isn't so bad, the soft shell is great. Reminds me when i lived in one for a year one the way back home from Cape Town  .
If I got stuck in a bad electrical storm, I think I'd be in the double bed in the back of the 130 with the dog  |

It looked we might be in for some lousy weather when we set off yesterday...

Love the zebra more each time I see it. Was initially not a fan.... 
Only noticed the outline of Africa the other week, subtle  Stuart
