Double roof tents on a 130
Haven't been on here for a while but my 130 is still getting modded slowly. Have added the 3.5m monster full length rack to it now. Looks lovely. Went for black and no luggage rail as we will mount our Howling Moon 1.6 tourer on the back. Rather than our usual set up of one ground tent and one roof - the kids usually win for who gets the roof...... we plan to purchase another Howling Moon. Has anyone got two and recommend a matched pair or one 1.6 and one 2.4 or variations on the theme? We have 3 children of 8/10/12.

Also, does any 130 owner with the patriot have a side mounted ladder. I think they look awesome but maybe ott!

Hi.

I have a Defender 2.2 130 with a Patriot (split) roof rack. We have 4 kids and 2 Howling Moon roof tents.
If you have questions, please ask.

Cheers

Awesome set up Q! With 4 daughters I've no idea how you manage to get all their gear and them in the 130!! You must make them pack light! Rolling with laughter

HI TopQ1967 -- I also have 4 kids and am looking to create an escape vehicle that will accommodate them and my wife and I. Does your 130 layout include 6 travelling seats and sleeping space? Would be intrigued to know how you have set it all up if you don't mind sharing.

Brilliant set up. We have a 1.6 but wondering which tents you have? I emailed the UK importer but they didn't get back to me as to which would fit. 1951 80" S1 2.0

There are 3 seats in rear and you can replace the cubby box between the front two seats with a matching seat to your trim from a company called exmoor trim. 1951 80" S1 2.0

Front middle seat in Puma? Are you sure? I think, there is not enough place between this seat and gearsticks. In TD5 or older, there is much more space.
Look here for pictures: http://landroverforum.cz/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=24405 not my, I'm going to modify 130 HCPU to long SW, to get more space for traveling in 4 people. "Drobek" = The Small One - Discovery 2, "Blufínek" = The Blue Thing - Defender 130, and for me at least Ford Mondeo Smile
