Default Tourer camping

Rain or no rain, packed the trailer, hooked up and off we went. It was wet when we arrived, got 1 tent up and went to plan B. Folded the seats down, and the girls slept in the back of the Rover, dry and warm. The tail gate opened into the tent nicely-all good.

The other advantage is that the Diesel does not really feel the loaded trailer behind. Auto and Synergy does work.

Used them in Namibia, but they make the car too unstable at higher speeds. Settled for a long wheel base VW converted into a camper T5-Diesel of course.

Didn´t use this one Isabella (danish auwning maker) only made 40. It folds flat on the bed. A simple cover and it´s as flat as a pancake. Only one I´ve seen where you don´t get wet going from the car to the inside of the tent. Ours did 70 on the motorways without probs. I don´t drive much faster
