Mixed experience here. Initially impressed with the products (hardshell roof tent and awning), but some growing concerns.Re the roof tent, it's worth bearing in mind that it weighs 65kg approx. That means, unless you intend to use it regularly and leave it on your roof permanently (something I don't want to do, as I typically would use it 2-3 times a year), it takes quite a bit of grunt to get it there in the first place. More concerning however is the way that the front popped up on its own while doing 70mph on the motorway last weekend. I'm a little anal in making sure everything is secure, so really don't think it was user error (though I can't rule it out entirely?!), but I can only assume the two front clasps just came loose, and the wind forced it up and open. Thankfully, a passing car alerted me to the fact that something was awry, and I pulled over and was able to re-secure. But I'm nervous about driving with it on, as it stands now. I also found the engineering of the L brackets for fitting the awning hopelessly ill-thought out. I basically had to use the clamps, but these had to fit under the hardshell tent. I've done what I can to ensure they won't damage the fibreglass underside of the tent, but it really is a poor set-up. So mixed experience. Plus side would be that once you're in the roof tent, it's roomy and cosy. Can't fault the experience of using the product. UPDATE - reply from Ventura Tents below, and most grateful for offer to resolve the issue. Will liaise direct to do so. Thanks Ventura Tents :-)! UPDATE 2 - Roof tent returned to Ventura Tents this morning - most grateful for their offer of a replacement, especially as it was nearly a year and half old. 2 star review upped to 4.
