2 roof tents possible on the lr3??

Hi guys,

We would like to put 2 separate roof tents on our lr3 using a frontrunner rack. With a bit of overhang this should be possible. Has anyone done this before? How about the free space with the tent and rear ladder if the boot is open? Thinking you should open a tent using the front of the car and the other on the back of the car. Or open them both on the side of the car?

Thnx

Bit of an overhang, but I think 2x120 RT's should work Thumbs Up

Worth remembering that the roof has a max load weight. I can't remember what it is though. Laughing

As a 2.4RT works, you'd think 2x1.2 would, but you'll need room between to get the covers unzipped

I'd love a 2.4, but quite rare, I've a 1.6 Thumbs Up

Overhang

Have you got a picture with it fully fitted? And how is the overhang is it touching the boot if open? Love the idea of the 2 tents but sounds pretty difficult Wink but doable Smile
