About half as much again as the Hannibal, the walls live inside the truck, so not a problem, and take 15 sec to set up, with a slow wind Thumbs Up California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

Pretty sure it does not.. same as the Caravanstore but in the alloy box, rather than the soft cover !!

caravanstore was the one I had (see photo) basic but I liked it. http://www.jacksons-camping.co.uk/fiamma/caravanstore.htm

The thing i like about the tBR one is it is light does not take up much room on the roof rack and has a good shade covering.

Now also have the short version across the back of the rack for shade when in the back. Both Hanibal fron Nene Overland and great, easy to use and no legs or tie dows, wind changes, just get in the truck and move it! Whats broken now ?

I bought a Howling Moon in the end due to having adjustable poles at the front Very Happy being 6`6" it helps if the front is higher Very Happy not a problem for you Cussy Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter and it matches the roof tent. Weight i guess about under 10Kgs

Good choice Sonic, was going to buy the same but bought a 1.6m tourer tent from Trek Overland which acts as an awning when open over the side of truck, so no need now. Can't wait to use it!
