Hi everyone,

I have to choose a roof top tent for the family, but it seems to me that i don't have many options. Just the Eezi Awn 2.2m.
Do i miss something? Any suggestion?

Cheers,
Nick

Hello nick DG, howling moon do a 2.4m if memory serves me right or I have seen 2 x 1.2 metre tents together. I don't know what roof rack you have or vehicle you drive. Also must it be a rooftop? or would a centre pole 13' x 9' tourer tent suit your needs better?.

We have the 1.6M wide Hannibal with a doubled over 1.2 section. That gives us a 2.4 x 1.6 bed with enough room for my wife, two grand kids (feet to feet) and myself. It also comes with a full annex with a section that unzips where the 100 series rear door and tailgate are. If it's hot I sleep in the annex on a stretcher. Cost a few extra dollars though and worth every penny. Extra good canvas.

Why not go for an OZ Tent RV 30 Second tent?
Bloody awesome, quick n easy to set up and put down, the RV5 is what i chose instead of the roof top tent and happy that i did, its just an opinion that you might wish to consider :)
