So what happened to keeping weight down?

Its minimum weight,

Its minimum weight,

Wind drag....

Wind drag....

Wouldn't be much I reckon... Only issue it might have with the full sheet is the radiant heat it will soak. I can imagine how hot it would get in full sun on a 35c day. It might not affect anything, dunno, just a though.

Fitted an opened ended tradie rack last week... Waiting for the awning to arrive.. But might have to get rid of the rack seems i only have about 1" clearance from the carport roof with both tanks full.... Have to see how much the car rises as the tanks empty. I have Dobinsons H/D springs so hopfully i'm good... Won't be fitting muddies anytime soon tho

They have been doing it on Landrovers ever since they were first made with great success.
I had a solar panel on the roof of my other trailer and it worked a treat keeping the heat at bay.
Google tropical roof

All adds up

The sheet will stop most of the heat getting on to the roof of the car, plus the air gap adding to the cooling. Tbh would be a futile effort as our patrols have enormous windows that will still let in plenty of light (heat)

To late for you now, but the other day a 4B had an ARB flat platform on the roof with removable sides, half length sides and ends etc if you require according to the owner.

Thought it was a great idea as we have a RTT and my racks sides get in the way so it has to be removed for the tent.

The down side was the price!!

Rhino not ARB. Heaps of accessories but need a reinforced credit card before you go shopping!
