I rarely leave reviews nor do i take them into consideration as i find people often only leave negative reviews....but roof tent shopping is a whole different ball game. We bought the 1.4 extended deluxe with annex back in 2021 from Ventura. Around the same time friends of ours bought a more expensive tent from a different company; there was a huge difference in cost between the 2 brands and yes when you sit them right next to each other there are differences in the look and feel of the fabrics theirs feels more expensive, feels better quality. We were at this point slightly concerned that we had made a bad purchase and we were going to regret it, because you buy cheap you buy twice, right? Wrong.In this instance we couldn't be more wrong. Our "cheap" ventura tent has held up throughout the same conditions and performed as well as a tent costing almost double. We have enjoyed many many trips so far and have remained comfortable, warm and dry, even on the west coast of Scotland and swamplike conditions in a very wet Skye. We spent a week travelling scotland last summer, and we cannot fault our tent. We are a family of 2 adults, 2 younglings (13&11) and 2 dogs and we have plenty of space. The foam mattress gives the most comfortable sleep I've ever had in a tent. Everything, and i mean everything, the tent, annex, groundsheet, 4 peoples sleeping bags 6 pillows and blankets aswell as 2 air beds all fit into the tent when folded and zipped on the roof; and theres still space; freeing up plenty valuable boot space! The annex is perfect for additional sleeping space (kids and dogs), or for changing in & out of wetsuits (we sup aswell). We changed our vehicle this winter, and our ladder was no longer long enough, we also damaged one of our zips and i was delighted with the customer service from ventura. A quick phonecall and we had new & replacements parts shipped out same day (and I ordered a side awning at the same time. Which is also fabulous and we can't wait to get out and use it) ventura unfortunately didnt stock a deeper groundsheet but were extremely helpful in helping me source one, so we are kitted up and ready once more for a year of adventures. Fitting it to the car (and we've done this twice, with 2 different styles of fittings) is relatively easy, the tent itself is not too heavy to be lifted, and it feels secure on there.My only gripe, and it's mild. Is that the annex could use more peg points as there are only one in each corner and the ground sheet can flap about a bit in the wind, however once your "moved in" and theres weight on it its not really that big of an issue.Thank you Ventura; very happy campers!
