I bought this one from a crowd in Germany off ebay.

Big enough for 3 and easy to erect and pack it away again

We bought a roof tent in 1988, its a type "Adventure" from http://www.beduin-tents.de

For summer its perfect. We used it for several trips around Europe on our Caravelle syncro. Takes some time to close and pack it, but it's ok. Here some pictures:

These are the bollox, http://www.waypoint-tours.com/roof-tents.htm I had one for a while. Look at the others shown and see its just single skin in lots of the areas. the only way you will get wet with the one I had is if it rained upwards, and it doesnt

Well we all know what your like down there in redneck country dogging and all, never mind purple bikini's
Andrew looked like he had a sofa on the roof on the way to Syncro 25. These look a lot better and more aerodynamic plus you could easily insulate the roof with some thermowrap http://www.rooftent.co.uk/webpages/magg ... afari.html

Those look awesome...
That would be a dream for me - sling into the back of my Pickup, But £1300, eek...
That's £600 more than I paid for me bus
I think I'll have to make do with my pop up tent for another year, must attend to the rotting bodywork first

Yes I looked at those tents and at the time I bought mine they were just over €2000 which is a lot considering the amount of times Ive actually used mine. They are really good but the (new) one I looked at had a few tatty bits of workmanship showing. The one I eventually bought cost €420 + shipping

Hi Adrian,

I've have been shopping around for a roof tent for my Doka.

Have you seen the Terrain roof tents on E-Bay for 650 pounds.

They appear to be the a reasonable offer as they are made for the British climate and claim therefore to be rain proof?

Company is British and offer a spare or repair service and a quick delivery time.

I've got fed up bidding on used roof tents and decided it is probably better to just spend the cash and get a nice fresh new one as long as it proves rain proof????
