Not sure if this is the right place. This is not mine, noticed on craigslist.

My dad purchased this brand new some years back. He used to do a lot of travel in his Jeep, and this was the alternative to hotel rooms or setting up tents in the dirt. I had inherited it and tried using it on my volkswagen rabbit and jetta, but it just makes them look like clown cars. It fit much better on my Jetta, but the 1.6 non turbo diesel wasn't all that fond of the extra load...but I digress

This is the top of the line unit. If has a roof rack on TOP of it too, so you don't lose the ability to utilize roof space when you travel. It has a queen size mattress inside of it. There is a complete set of flannel bedding and a down comforter that come with it. There is also a rafter mounted pulley system that I am including so you can hang it in your garage if you decide not to use it.

I sadly don't have any pics of it on my dad's old jeep, but if you were in the socal XJ scene, you probably knew uncle Greg with his obnoxious red jeep and big tent on the roof haha.

Instead, you can see what it looks like on small VW's, understanding why it is impractical for me to hang on to it....though I wish I could travel all over with it :(

It will fit many larger cars too, if you have the proper roof rack system. It's not just for offroad vehicles. Just make sure you have something more powerful than a little 4 banger diesel. It would probably work GREAT on an old Mercedes 300d or 300sd

Pops paid well over $3k for everything, I would like to see $1600 for the package. I will consider a partial trade for a vintage Fender twin reverb. I will consider other legit tube amps with spring reverb, but that is what I have my eye on. It would make my dad proud of my decision to let it go :)
