You definitely want to be staying with South African roof tents such as Howling Moon, Hannibal and Ezi Awn.
We are the UK's Sole Importer of Howling Moon tents and accessories and have been dealing with them for almost 15 years. If you have any questions regarding them we would be happy to speak to you about them. We also often have second hand items in stock so its always worth the call just to find out if we have and preowned products at discounted prices.

We are obviously heavily biased towards the Howling Moon brand but as long as you are going for a South African tent you wont be disappointed.

A quick overview of a Howling Moon Tourer tent:

380-400 gms/sqm polyester/cotton ripstop material with advanced water-repellent coating

Teflon coated

Lightweight vacuum laminated composite base construction

Aluminium mounting extrusion supplied

Heavy Duty Zip operated, ventilated and insect screened windows

Two-piece ladder, flysheet and three-inch-thick high density mattress come standard

Internal storage pockets

Sufficient space for bedding when tent is folded

Unique bungee cord system to assist in packing up of tent

Flysheet folds away with tent. Ventilated space between flysheet and main body eliminates condensation

Optional attachable annex

Covered entrance

Oh what a fine looking Defender and Roof Tent

Pic taken at Darlington Park, southern Queensland, near the NSW border, Mid-June 2014. Had spent 4 months living in the Defender/roof tent by this point. We now think of it as our second home! When we got it out of the shed a few weeks ago and mounted it back on the Defender and climbed up the ladder, is was like coming home, like putting on your fave snugly jumper! Love it, off away for a week touring in Northumberland later this month.

New to the LR experience so sorry for the dumb question but I have a LR expedition roof rack system on a 110, can I fit a Howling Moon or other tent on this type of roof rack? Looking at the shape I don't think so but rather ask the experts than guess.
