I'm doing route 66 around Scotland with my two work buddies in 2021. I don't need a partition because one's a lesbian and the other's not, but obviously they're both female so we can all sleep together. What model of tent fits on my roof rack?

Unsure how 3 adults will fit in a roof tent.
Sorry it’s a distant view but this only fits 2 adults

Nah. Never camped in the holiday sense since I put my sleeping bag on an ants nest in the cubs. The bast"$ds bit my bollox to bits.

I bet you could do better with an awning tent faddingly thing what forms a shelter and uses the landie as at least one of the sides.

As you have edges on the roof rack it would make fitting hard.
I would use a tent it’s easier
Oh & cheaper. This was over 1.5k(also photo not my motor I can sleep in the back)

The sides on that roof rack will make fitting a roof tent an absolute nightmare as it folds out.

Make sure you up the security anorl. Carrying your own Van Dyke could attract the wrong sort.

I'm taking a blind fold, earplugs and a peg for my nose just in case.

Just take your heels and a bit of lippy. Be a shame to miss out on all the fun. Those big girls can be ruthless.

The very thought of it makes me feel sick (not the heels and lippy but the thought of partaking). Route 66 is coastal. They say that the definition of confusion is Lesbians at a fishing port.

I’m sure a squirt of Chanel will sort that out.

To reply to the OP. your roof rack doesn't look like it will allow the fold out type roof tents to deploy as it has sides.I can't see from the picture if there is a tube round the back as well - you could decide to cut off the bar at the back so you could deploy a tent off the rear - if you could find something that fits between the rails - and these are likely to make 3 people Very cosy. The bigger roof tents will deploy off the side and have extra room but don't look compatible with your roof rack.

I'd suggest selling the roof rack for something compatible if you're really set on a roof tent.

If you're going in the summer, can use the vehicle to protect the tent from the worst of any weather, will be moving every day packing things up. Then I'd suggest something like this:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-6-Pers...446277153:g:aVkAAOSwPRZdgIBi&var=592097107636
just for ease of use and if you're not going to use it again.

Cheers for that. Rear has double tube rail. I'll go with the pop up idea though I was hoping not to have to use tent parks and I dunno what the scots cops are like about grass verge pitching. I wouldn't sell or modify my roofrack. It's an original LR expedition model.

You need to check as between certain months wild camping is not permitted.

search for wild camping,most will give you ideas where you can park and not be disturbed.
Also the nice car parks have height restrictions.
