Overnight wild camping

High up at a mast site in the Scottish Highlands with the wife and dog for an overnight stop. First time I've done this with the 4.4 and it behaved just like the 3.6 did before it. Ten minutes to set-up and ten to pack away the next day. Who needs a camper van anyway? Razz

It's not exactly the most accessable stopping point, which is why I like it.

At 1500ft up in the hills on an old LR track, nobody will be taking a campervan up here, that's for sure! Rolling with laughter The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom Smile

Brilliant!

Subscribing to the thread in case you gents add updates….


Got my inspiration from this chap….

https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=...UsjfNff2FP





Currently have a D4 with roof tent and awnings etc…. I am hankering after a L322 supercharged, and was hoping to see if anyone has success with the FF and rooftop tenting…..

I think the internal space may be a tad smaller in the FF compared to the Disco but the getting there and back will be waaay more comfy and pleasurable.

Nice setups…..

I'd love to have this capability on my L405. Unfortunately, due to the panoramic roof, it's not going to happen Crying or Very sad Kev

Nice, which tent are you using at the back iv been chasing a few original khyam landrover originals this year but always seem to miss out. Ebay sellers can be right dickheads

I’m sure it can be done with a pan roof?

I’ve seen roof tents on things with pan roof but I’m sure you’ve looked into it.

Get an Oztent and strap that to crossbars, about the same time to setup as a rooftent with the benefit of being able to leave it set up if you need to nip to the shops...
Other benefits include:-
You can stand up to get dressed in it
The RV4 will fit 2 standard mil. cotbeds plus room for a couple of dog beds
The awning can be enclosed to make a kitchen / inclement weather sitting area

Rooftents are great, sometimes ground tents are better.
