Hmmm, is the roof really designed to hold two people?
To be honest, I find it much easier to have an empty car most of the time then simply chuck in a bit of camping gear as and when needed.
I have the 2 man easy up tent - instant up as well as a 3m x 6m pop-up gazebo to provide the extra shelter at night (for tent and car!) - this has drop down sides to give additional privacy.
I have a couple of really sturdy picnic tables, each made from a sheet of exterior ply, that can be assembled in seconds - one to cook on, the other to eat & prep.
Fitting the dobbin out like they have done adds a heck of a lot of weight and unless it is easy to remove, it adds a lot of extra weight.
It's a nice idea but not for me, my camping gear is a couple of plastic boxes with rollers plus a couple of bundles, everything in or out in a couple of minutes & camp is set up in another few minutes.
I could, if I wanted, carry all my camping gear all the time as it is all very lightweight but I like to keep the boot relatively free. Surely, kitting the back out like a camper - with sink etc, adds quite a bit of weight. And moreso if you are to add the sleeping tent thingy on top - leaving a roofbox on a car is supposed to reduce consumption.
I know the tent thingy is designed for two - but what is the carrying capacity of the roof?
