A lull in the weather gave me the chance I needed today and the rooftent was finally fitted.
I was surprised just how solid it felt despite a blustery wind. I haven't had the chance to drive with it yet to see how much it affects the handling (if at all).
Refitting the cover is an acquired skill which I'm sure I will get better at with practice. All in all I am extremely happy. It is a Howling Moon 1.4 tourer which normally sells for nearly £1700 complete with under awning. I acquired it for £1000 from good old ebay and even though it cost £100 to collect it was still a bargain.
There are a few mods I intend to make including, interior lights (from Ikea), exterior lights (to provide and overhead light in the kitchen area), interior hand tapes (to help getting in and out) and remounting the rear worklights.
I intend to prepare a full article on the tent detailing all of these mods once complete and a full review of living with it.
I also managed to remount one of the 'waffle board' mounts on the drivers side. This allows me to carry 2 boards in and easily accessible location.
On the opposite side will be the Hannibal awning which still requires the front bracket making.
I am now planning a method of storing the Jackall behind the front rooflight. Once again more of this later.
