Hi have a look on the Frence website BON COIN, type in tente au toit and you should find some second hand ones, i paid 700euro's for mine, the best time to buy is in the autumn.

They're a good product, but you have to remember as you bathe in an Australian summer, it p***s it down in Scotland, it's cold, it snows, blows a hoolie and nice light flysheet material tents just don't really work. I took mine down to the Sahara and frankly could have slept out in a hammock, but when back stalking in Scotland it was -9 and snowing like a scene from the Lion, the witch and the cupboard under the stairs. You really need a heavier fabric in the UK.

I dont have one but will get the lads to ask about if they know anyone that wants to offer an opinion on the brand. I have a three unrelated bits from that Co. and it is all very good,tough and cheap too.

I've been looking at the James Baroud ones and think they would be fantastic for a few days away stalking. I used to sleep in the motor before but just can't do it these days. I can see the need for a good awning too though, pretty tough going trying to get into yer hunting gear if ****in it down.

Which is where some of the fold out tents score. Effectively they have a porch and you can sit at the top, under cover and put your boots on using the ladder. It's tough but there simply isn't a best answer. The best answer moves with where you are and what you're doing at the time. That's why I have two RTTs and 12 ground tents.

The brand is far better than one would imagine,their products are robust,very good quality gear. @ 330 GBP`s a steal.

Adventure Kings Roof Top Tent WEEKENDER , 4WD Outdoor Products - Australia

They don't ship internationally unfortunately.

You're right they don't otherwise I'd snap one or two up in a second.

One word. Flimsy.

That is I'm afraid why decent ones are twice that price. As I've already said, those are just plastic roof boxes. A JB is fibreglass. You'd put your knee through that. I note that the gentleman doesn't actually get in it. I'd pay to see that.
