Today when I arrived at my customer's showroom I was greeted by this nifty pop up roof rack tent!

No it wasn't the Mini that was attracting me (I'm no piston head!) but just the tent!

What Are The Advantages of This Type of Tent?

  • It keeps you up off of the ground providing some security and protection from various beasts!
  • It provides an elevated view point!
  • No need to look for softer ground either for comfort or for driving in tent pins!
  • Quick and easy to set up!
  • Space saving!

What Are The Disadvantages of This Style of Tent?

  • If your an over 40 male like me those calls of nature get a little harder to respond to!
  • Of course, this tent is not suitable for a campsite that needs to be hiked to!
  • They are not cheap. The one pictured is a top of the line model. To see others click here!
