Hi everyone. Many years since I have been active on this
forum. Last holiday was in 2012 which was a very sad affair due to it being a 'bucket list' trip for a member of our travel group who was suffering a terminal illness.
That aside, my wife and I are getting back into camping and have sold the big rig and van/camper trailers and are traveling as light as possible these days.
We have a small SUV these days, which we can sleep in, and are looking to purchase a tailgate tent that has a sleeve which fits over the tailgate in the down position and snuggly fits over the rear portion of the vehicle.
I have searched the main suppliers, Anaconda, Rays,
BCF, Freedom camping etc etc and none have anything suitable.
We have found a S.A. importer/distributor of such a tent, brand name NAPIER SUV camping tents. There are several sizes in the range and there is one which suits our vehicle but the importer basically just orders them as per customer requirements, which of course we can do ourselves directly, basically for the same price.
Our question is to you, is anyone aware of an Australian manufacturer that produces something similar? We would prefer to buy local rather than import but may have no choice if there not a similar local product.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
We need the sleeve which attaches to the rear of the vehicle to be snug enough for all weathers and keeping insects/
pests out.
cheers, and happy travels
