Can you believe that Kenny and Anne are sleeping in a tent on top of their car? The first thing is to park the car on the level. My first question is how to get out in the middle of the night without falling down the ladder. They tell me that sleeping on top of the car is better than sleeping on the ground in a tent. The hardest part is to open the zipper when your bladder is full.
It is tricky. The tent stays in a box on the top of the car. Within five minutes, the tent pops up and is quickly and firmly attached, with a ladder to climb up and down. In addition there is a dining fly that provided shelter and shade out to the side. And the fly can stay on the camp site if they go for a drive but retain the camping spot. All very nifty and high tech.
Kenny and Anne have spent the past 13 years exploring the waters of British Columbia. But their boat is in Mexico so this summer they are exploring the interior of British Columbia, all the way to the Yukon. They are having a wonderful time camping. But until I spoke to them this week, I had never heard of sleeping in a tent on top of their car. Seems to work just fine.
