our first night in the roof tent!
#camping #tentbox #rooftoptent - Zábava
Nice set up. Dude. It’s coming along. Great to have a bit of couple time. I would personally say to get a stand alone diesel heater to keep the tent warm for the good lady. They are relatively inexpensive and just need a 12v power supply. Happy wife. Happy life 😜
Haha thanks James, I have been looking into diesel heaters. Maybe for next year when the set up is a bit further along
Evening.
Firstly, the drone shots were absolutely amazing. What a fantastic area.
Roof tent looks a great bit of kit. Nice touch, the sky light too. With that open laying under the stars on a hot summers night.... Brilliant.
Here's looking forward to seeing many more trips away.
Grub looked top notch.
Glad all went well for you both.
Stay lucky. Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Thank you so much Alan! Really appreciate it!
Epic, have fun and keep adventuring ⛺
Thank you! Looking forward to getting back out in the tentbox!
Great video, nicely set up. Whereabouts is the log burner/bbq from? Looks a sturdy bit of kit.
Thank you, the log burner is actually a cheap eBay special, I think it was only £11. It is okay for the price but has warped a fair bit with the heat
Brilliant video mate!
Haha thanks mate
I vote keep the round headlights, they look good, and are different.
Haha too late, I already sold them on. I agree they are different but I just couldn’t get used to them
@@TheNorthernExplorer Hey, am requesting information on where I could get such headlights, do they come with the black surround?
@@wangaijoe the surrounds were bought on brorover.co.uk/
The lights are 7 inch round led units for defenders
Great content Dan! Looked like a
Successful first foray into roof tent camping. I see what you mean about those headlights. Are they an improvement on the standard items? I suspect they are. Thanks again for your efforts - I really enjoyed watching this. Cheers
Thanks Stuart! I’m not sure how much better they are though, I do prefer the standard look
Hello , i was wondering what size quilt you use ? And do you use a mattress topper? If so what size and do you leave them in or remove them before dismantling. Thankyou
Hi Sara, we just use our home quilt which is a king size duck duvet but we will be investing in a double down sleeping bag. We haven’t got a mattress topper yet but I’m looking at self inflating mats to put under the mattress that we could leave in the tent. We can’t leave bedding in the tent as it won’t close.
Looks great was the ladder fully extended and what lift have you got mate?
Thank you, no the ladder has another rung to extend. Landy was on 40mm lift in this
Mr Nort Explorer where can I find this type of headlights (circular+base), as they look great in the Discovery. Greetings from Portugal!
Hi Bruno! Thanks for your comment, the headlight adapter is from a company called bro rover, not sure if they are still making them though. The circular lights are just 7 inch led units for a defender.
looking at getting a roof tent, any preferences to having it side or rear mounted? Btw if your ever in norfolk let me know I'm assistant norfolk glass rep.
Thanks mate! May venture down that way at some point. I think it depends, over the side gives you a handy spot for sitting under and also fits on the roof a bit better. We have it over the back as it gives shelter for cooking at the rear and we now have an awning on the side to sit under
Having a boot that lifts was my concern about getting one.@@TheNorthernExplorer
@@nedstertd4 oh yeah forgot your in a fl2, I’d have it to the side then, you have a bit of shelter from the boot door
Just got a sub 👍 how are you finding the roof top tent thinking of getting one this year the light model for my suzuki vitara.
Thank you very much Shane! We love the roof tent! And tentbox have just released some other models, a smaller and larger version of the lite, perfect for a vitara 👍
Next time let me know and we'll join
Definitely! With it being our first trip we just wanted to make sure we got to know the tent. A few things learned for the next outing
