Well, one sunny afternoon in September we eventually got around to opening up the roof tent.
This is a very high quality roof conversion by Alu-Cab, a South African Company specific for the Land Rover Defender – they call it the Icarus Conversion. It is light weight, easy and fast to open and provides standing room inside the Land Rover with a huge sleeping/seating area “upstairs”.
The Alu-Cab is fabulous conversion, well insulated with zip out side panels for ventilation and to check out the view. The rear section (approx 70cm) can stay down, whilst the main roof can be lifted for headroom, giving us a handy extra seat.
We have not “sleep” tested it yet, too cold for this year!
