tirfor/roof top tent?

Hi. I've been around Tirfors for some time> I do not know the full specifications for your model but I can tell you that you do not use ordinary wire rope. You will require extra hard wire rope which I believe can only be purchased from Tirfor and is specially swagged at one end to make threading through the machine easier and a hook at the other end.
Do not use any other handle than the one supplied and always use genuine shear pins and never lengthen the Tirfor rope by using bulldog clamps.
Lifting capacity is 50% of pulling capacity but this can be varied with the use of snatch blocks and pulleys. ( I have actually moved a 50 ton mill shell with a 5 ton Tirfor by using snatch blocks and pulleys but it was very slow)

Hi Ryno

I've got one of these roof top tent

Bought it a while ago from a different seller for $499 plus $120 freight. Couldn't be happier. I needed to drill some holes in the ladder to allow adjustment to lower heights (I have it on the trailer at the moment), which is a 5 minutes job.

I suppose a Howling Moon has somewhat better canvas, but it's nearly 5 times dearer!

I've seen the new models with extended entry fly etc., but I think it's just added complications - defies the purpose of having a quick to erect tent. And takes away the view, offering "privacy" instead - as I use it in secluded areas I'd rather have the view thanks!

Cheers
