I’m vacillating between two positions. Do I make a shelf system for my LX 450 that allows me to sleep inside and store some items on an INTI roof rack? Or purchase a quality roof tent (i.e. a Maggiolina) to sleep in? I see pro’s and cons with both.
I’m leaning towards sleeping inside the truck because it’s extremely water proof, safe and puts less weight on the roof. But, I will have to construct one, which is heavy in itself and I’ll have to have some how lock my personal items on the roof.
A roof tent on the other hand would allow me to safely store my possessions inside the truck while having a sealed area to sleep in. But condensation will be trapped inside the tent every time I pack up camp. I fear it won’t dry.
Does any one have any strong feelings one way or another?
