Roof top tents???

[kanigit]

It seems roof tops are the way to go on long off-road trips so, following up my first post (3rd gen specs) - has anyone used rooftop tents on any trips? The 1st & 2nd gen roof bars don't look man enough to put a tent on - am I wrong? What about 3rd gen - do they come with factory roof bars?

I have never seen a roof top tent on a surf... Got any pics?? If its just me and my son camping we just drop the back seats and sleep in the car. sleeping on the roof would be a bit of a pain if you need a pee

may from time to time have some ex-demo's...

But you'll need a substantial rack... to put it on...

On a 2nd gen, its not 'really' strong on the roof, so attaching a big rack will require some internal bracing...
