    G'day mate.

    I have an RV5 with the Peaked front option and side walls. I also have a full length Alloy rack the dimensions you note above. I bought my RV5 second hand but basically brand new and from day one could not get it in the bag. Have no idea how they reckon it all fits!!!

    I ended up buying a second bag. ($20) best thing I ever did!!! In the second bag goes the full size ground sheet (shade Clothe) the peaked sides, all the poles, pegs and ropes. Floor mat for the front door.

    I leave the fly permanently attached.

    So here is the story, the RV5 is just that fraction too long for the rack. But the second bag which is more than half full goes on first then the RV5 goes no top of in and the whole lot is ratchet strapped down.

    Perfect setup. Very very pleased with how it packs now and never a drama trying to compress down to fit a small bag.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
