Re: RTT an overkill?
I agree on both statements. Had a foldable RTT and now a Bundutop. Foldable = more space on roof but more difficult to set up camp. With the Bundutop I have less packing space on roof but setting up time is now not more then a couple of minutes, far less effort. Bundutop is heavier but with reduced roof space I estimate that I probably put the same weight on the roof as before, now only put more stuff inside my Patrol. I fortunately do not have kids left in the house so my back seats made space for a platform, giving a lot of extra packing space. I suppose it is all boils down to personal choice.

Re: RTT an overkill?
Agreed, very cool . You do it yourself? Anything stored in the footwells behind the front seats?

Re: RTT an overkill?
Did the platform myself with shutter board, free standing and easy to remove as a complete unit - no stripping required. There are virtually no space behind the front seats when moved back, platform is also sitting on the floor, however I can move the seats forward and put flattish stuff there like straps and loose stuff and then move back to normal sitting position. For the river strip I had a 60l water tank, three crates, battery box, shower cubicle and 35l fridge stored on this platform.

Re: RTT an overkill?
Ek kan net droom oor so hoog n afdak vir my karre, daar is omtrent so 10 cm tussen my patrol en die afdak. So petrol met rtt moet buite staanDawidT wrote: ↑16 Aug 2019 13:43 I agree on both statements. Had a foldable RTT and now a Bundutop. Foldable = more space on roof but more difficult to set up camp.

Re: RTT an overkill?
