    It does not rain all the time but it is certainly unpredictable. The weather forecast is reasonably accurate two or three days ahead. You could be ready to go for the weekend based on the longer range forecast. Then you could check the forecast Friday lunchtime, book a campsite then leave straight after work. There are many sites for caravans and motorhomes that have hard surfaces so the mud will be lower if it is not raining. Pick a place that is within about an hours drive. The traffic can be bad on the M4 and the M5; especially south out of Bristol, on a Friday evening. Then if there is a problem you can go home, if not wake up in Cheddar or some other nice place.

    Gr8 review. That brand of rooftop tent looks great, easy to put up and put down. Ideal for 1 or 2 nights. Better than paying expensive hotel prices. Attaching it to a trailer seems a superb idea. Do any companies sell them together as a combined package? 🤔🏕️🚗

  • @jarc02

    Good video. Rooftop camping is something I am thinking of doing in the future. I see you have a Forester (non-Wilderness) which has a lower weight capacity for the roof rails than a Wilderness edition. I have a '21 Outback Premium. I figure if the tent is safe on your Forester it should be on my Outback. What is the coldest weather you have used it? Would it be suitable in snow/freezing weather conditions or just a 3 season weather tent?

    • @laurenrs
      @laurenrs 5 місяців тому

      Thanks! I have been camping at around freezing overnight temps, it's definitely as cold as a regular tent! However, the newer Roofnest models now have a space to put a vent so you can user a diesel heater in the tent. That seems to be pretty popular for people who often camp in cold climates.
