How to improve your (cheap) Rooftop Tent

[the evil twin]

Hi all.

I've seen a few roof top tents come onto the market lately and just want your opinion/advice.

As some of you know, I've got an ex Telstra 4.2 TDi, 2005 ute with a pod on the back.

On the roof of my pod, I have a plethora of aerials and 2 x 120w solar panels - all of which nearly occupy the whole roof space.

I was thinking about putting a roof top tent on the roof, on sliders, so that when I pull up in a parking bay (lol), I can just slide it out to the back of the pod to still allow my solar panels to charge.

Will the centre of gravity be too high whilst travelling? Constructive comments/other ideas would be appreciated.

Moving from the basement to the Penthouse suite eh...

You will pay a fortune for sliders that have sufficient reach and weight rating mate.
Keep in mind that the way they rate a lot of slide racks is tricky and they will not hold the rated weight at full extension.

If it was me I would be more tempted to pod mount the tent and put the panels sideways on a slider with maybe 1 over the other and the top one slides forward over the cab or whatever.
