Slight correction: "Overlanding"Wow, camping with 850cc and 38 hp in a Morris Minor!
At 74 years old, unless I used a pee jar, that's too many trips down and back up a ladder in the middle of the night. It seems like rooftop tents are a younger persons tool of choice, HotelsRus.I really can’t think of a piece of kit less useful than a rooftop tent. Advantage: light. Disadvantage: needs an f’in ladder for ingress and egress. No stakes to hold it down or to anchor a rainfly in weather. No insulation. Did I mention you need a ladder to load and unload your stuff?
Yeah I now have tent cot and it beats crawling/falling down those ladders in the night! Pretty much the same as a roof tent that is on the ground and works great.At 74 years old, unless I used a pee jar, that's too many trips down and back up a ladder in the middle of the night.

Is that a clam shelter? How do you like it?View attachment 107101
I like leaving my house behind when I drive off to see the sights.
The wife bought it and she loves it! I'm okay with it because it's easy set up and take down, and can be staked down against the wind. I take it when she comes along on trips. It's a fairly large package; six foot long and probably a foot in diameter if memory serves.Is that a clam shelter? How do you like it?
And when you want to run a few miles up or down stream to hit a few “honey holes”,you have to pack all your stuff up. The fact that they are plentiful on Craigs List says it all.I really can’t think of a piece of kit less useful than a rooftop tent. Advantage: light.
