Rooftop Tents

[Leighw85]

That setup is incredible mate. Top stuff

ok so i have found a couple of roof racks for a tent on ebay. They both look exactly the same.
Does anyone have any opinions on them?
Will they do the job?

I reckon they would mate, 2nd one looks like its a Tigerz knock off out of the same factory probably

so the Tigerz one is a descent brand.
It looks like they stock them just down the road from where i live at Armadale 4wd.

Ummm thats a question I'm not sure of mate, I have heard of Tigerz but think that was winches,I'm presuming it's the same company................... I'll let someone who knows more about the brand give the answer

[Leighw85]

well im guessing a good 4wd repairer in Armadale 4wd wouldnt sell them if they were duds
I might look into it a little more.
I just cant get over the price of the ARB one the rack itself is about $900 + about $300 for install kit.

i have looked at the Tigers11 website and it all looks ok, they have winches and things also

Mate I think you will find just like the tents themselves they are all identical. They would be from the same factory for sure. Most of the items now are orderred from china by many differnet company's in the colour of their choice with their own sticker on it. Winch's, tents, racks almost any product out there. I would get the cheaper one, why spend the extra on the same deal. Look at the layout of the mounting bracket photo's. Exactly the same in both company's auctions........

Yeah mate I've looking I've the 2 all day hahaha I am going with the cheaper one! Will get the job done
As you said both are exactly the same, pictures and all!

hey leigh,
just a small thought for ya, what i did is get the full sized rack(cant remember the exact name of model as it was so long ago) instead of having the rails stop short so you can fit a tent on the flat section i have fitted it to the top of the rail so that gives storage under the tent on the rack which is good for chairs,tables, solar panels etc (solar panels-i have not fitted to the car as the sun moves so i have portable ones on a long lead.... works amazing) and the only problem i have with it being over the back is with the drop slide (for 80 liter engel) i have to pull the ladder out on an angle to comfortably pull the fridge out(no biggy, but the only draw back)

[rottodiver]

Here is what i mean about the solar panels and also the drop slide issue(as i said, not a big deal)

And it's strong enough sitting on top? I have seen that before but was unsure!
