Hey Carpy, (and anyone else wanting a roof tent)
This is a factory in China that makes roof tents
Tents Supplier: Kunshan Yuanfengrun Trading Co.,Ltd, China
You will probably see they have many tents that look exacltly like the whole howling moon range, and on the howling moon website they don't actually say that the tents are made in South Africa. So I'm guessing that somewhere along the way Howling Moon have done what everyone in manufacturing eventually does, and farmed out production to China.
Now I have seen these Chinese tents sold locally for stupid money (£1700). You have also been able to get them for a decent price on ebay from Germany. But I have now found a UK site selling the Chinese tents for a fair price.
2-3 Roof Tent
So what I am saying is before you pay top dollar for a brand name, just check that it is not a Chinese Tent with a fancy label sewn on.

Yes and I was in my Vito
Wonder how Carpy's Landy is doing at the MOT test, it it gets straight through it will be a very good advert for Kris'es mechanical ability

Got a bit held up on some of the parts and when there's about 2 weeks of work to be carried out, not always that easy to account for the bits that give problems. Always prefer to take a bit longer if it needs it and have it 100% right than rush things and not be happy.

Bollocks.. that's bad luck, but you know what they say, the Romans didn't MOT their chariots in a single day...
Yo Darren, if Lewis wins the GP on Sunday I'll be going to billing with some money to spend
Havent made plans yet, but I would like to go.... Are you guys going ?

I bought another Landy, so I can have one smart expedition vehicle, and a Kamikazie do anything off roader....
