I’ve spoken to people that have them a few times and seen them in the flesh. We were parked up near a lake in France and a German couple arrived late and spent a considerable amount of time setting theirs up on the top of their land rover. They loved it, and it was a leftover from a big desert trip a few years before, but if it wasn’t for nostalgia it would fail any tests of practicality or flexibility.
The amount of time it takes to set up is off putting, and at the end of the day it’s just a tent, so you still have to cook and sit outside or just in your car if the weather is bad. They’re the least stealthy things in the world, So the difference between having a car and pitching up a tent next to it is marginal.

Slightly off topic but has anyone got experience of roof tents? Are they as cool as they seem or just a faff?
