Take a long peg, cut off the circular bit, bend it into a u-shape, sharpen the new end and peg the bottom rung of the ladder to the ground. Then you will be sorted.ZR6SGN wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 7:44 pmHere is a tip for you. Get a bungee cord with hooks on each end. Hook it into the eyes that I have circled in the attached photo. Then drape the FrontRunner tent cover over it. Keeps the cover out of the way and away from the vehicle doors.Nico-MAD wrote:So I decided to get myself a rooftop tent. I know it's a bit of a hassle if you're doing trips every day and not ideal for camping for a couple of days, but it's quick to open up and a couple of minutes longer to fold up. But I must say it's very comfortable and much safer in game parks.

Thanks for the tip. I also have the shower/room curtain, but we had an portable shower so I never put it up. I also have some extra tent ropes to secure the two ends in case of wind, but at that stage there was no wind, only to be totally washed out on Old Year's Eve. But it was all worth it. You have to take the good with the bad.
The biggest disadvantage of that tent is that water dams up on the flap above the ladder. Then when you climb up you bump the flap with your head or shoulder and the water pours down your back, drenching you. I haven’t perfected the solution yet.
Awesome tent.
