Looking for a tent I can attach to my Volvo XC60 for events next year ... anyone ever used them and its there any you can recommend
Thanks
Nice idea but its more than my car ๐
What would be the advantage of attaching a tent to your Volvo? Roof and awning type tents are more expensive than normal tents and more of a faff to setup. Decent vehicle camping setups like Oztent/Foxwing are overkill for UK use and are megabucks.
If you want cheap just get a decent tarp and attach it to roof-rack/guttering with bungees and put table and chairs under it during day and a popup tent under it at night for sleeping in. You can also get popup utility/toilet tents which give standing room for changing/showering in.
when Im at races for a few days and the car is not used and with the crap weather we get and when the wife comes it stops her whinging and makes life easier ...
Ive got tarps and I aint going to bungy that to the car so hence why i'm asking bout tents like a tail gate tent
Got roof rails? A nice big tarp, a couple of poles, some paracord and a couple of pegs and you've got yourself an awning...
SUV? We're not in Texas ๐
This place looks to have a few options http://www.driveaway-awnings.co.uk/awnings-for-rear-doors-on-4wds-mpvs/
Slippery slope - first a Volvo, next it'll be a caravan, then dahling have you seen my pipe and slippers ๐
we have an OZ tent, not cheap at all, but goes up in about a minute and fits over a discovery4. isn't attached to teh car so can be left for day trips or nipping off site.
