roof rack and roof tent for defender 90
i created a different post regarding this question as i want to keep the two posts separated

Looking (yes just looking at the minute) to get a roof rack and 2 man roof tent compatible with each other, what I mean that the rack and tent fit nicely together and not require any modifications AND would fit a Defender 90????

my wife is really a hotel or b&b type person, really cant see her doing the roof tent thing, however i needed to be prepared in case she warms to the idea

There is a huge amount of information on the web and a huge difference in price.

Save your money, spend it on hotels. It's a lot of weight up top and it'll make handling interesting.

What sort of travelling do you intend doing?

Many, many people travel with roof tents without issue. Extreme side slopes or going around roundabouts at F1 speeds would prove 'interesting'

For a 90 with a hard shell tent then unless you have another use for the roof rack without the roof tent on then you are better off with two or three roof bars.

For a folding roof tent then two good quality roof bars will do.

Use of roof bars save weight up top and also some pennies.

If going down the roof tent route get good quality bars and tent.
