Sleeping Upstairs.....again

[Fernweh]

For my new Overland Adventure into Colorado's San Juan's Mountains - the day after tomorrow - I will be sleeping on the roof again........

Hannibal Impi Tent, on a dedicated vehicle specific - LWB G-wagen - very low profile tent carrier, all available through www.g-wagenaccessories.com

Very nice setup.

Once you sleep above, it is hard to go back to anything else.
I enjoy sleeping up off the ground away from the dirt and rain that often gets tracked into a ground tent.

Cool

Are you going to go out to star trails next year?

Super nice looking truck though.

If it really pours down, I do have some other sleeping quarters with me all the times.....

Nice RTT! This inside looks plenty comfy, why the need for the roof top tent?

I second the franziskaner comment!

The use of a clam-shell type roof tent is just perfect.

You can leave all your bedding up there and do not even have to straighten things out - just close the lid.....

Using the sleeping platform in the G-wagen (here is a working link:

you need to re-shuffle your stuff so you can stretch out.

Now I 'm able to take more toys like an inflatable kayak, our K9 River can lounge much better or to take a second case Franziskaner with me......

This! :wings:

But seriously... That is a very nice set up! I'm currently trying to get a RTT to sit that low on my truck. Having a commercially available mount like that makes me a bit envious.

Karl,

Thoughts about a "canvas" roof top tent vs the harder fiberglass clam shell tents...pros/cons?

SteveS has said he prefers his clam shell due to more headroom and ease of setup. One issue I see with the clam shell is that it takes up the entire roof so no room for any other gear up there(probably a good thing weight-distribution-wise).

TIA
