That looks great Amanda Jane, maybe Milo could use a side (or rear) tent like that for his car when he travels.........Thanks for sharing pics !

Looks neat AJ, no towing, go anywhere, nice and cosy!

With that tent on the side - is that specifically made as a side tent for a van, or did you modify a tent to suit?

 

Yes. I am interested in your answer also. rocket n strop

Yup thats the one.. there are two sorts, one with no walls as a sun area and the delux... that comes with the walls... zips all around so you can open up anyside.. they are no good in storms tho as we found out when one came up suddenly... we were out at 2am in hail, rain n really really bad winds... the canvas was fine but the poles broke... we just went into the nearest BCF and got another one... I think it was around 120.00 or somewhere around there... cheap for an extra room, folds into a small bag.... easy to put together.... I suppose you could get the sun one for the back and this one for the side.. that would give you plenty of room.

Hubby did not like me doing all the lifting to move things etc so he said he would not go around Oz in this, we considered a rooftop tent but most of the over nightl stays dont allow for tents so we were unsure if we could use them there....... we bought the coaster bus with what his mum left us when she passed away... I think he'll be happier in that... as for me... I dont mind roughing it at all I would have been happy with the car, now I shall be going 5 star instead hehehehehe

Most of the camping stores sell them we got ours from BCF
