Roof
Top Tents with double beds can lay in one of two ways:
They open across or open ALONG the
vehicle
Both options have advantageous and
disadvantages
A determining factor is the width of the
vehicle on the roof and the width of the Roof top tent on the roof.
The Smaller the vehicle and therefore
smaller the roof width, the only option is the one that opens across the
vehicle as the width when closed is close to 1100mm compared to 1400mm+
for the alternative.
