Not sure if you are aware, but a roof top tent is quite different to a pop-top. Former is a separate tent without access from the inside while a pop-top is permanently mounted tent including the roof of your car with full access from inside.

You posted in the Delica Modifications heading and not Delica Parts and Suppiles, the latter clearly being a 'for sale' section. Delica Modifications is a general discussion section.

A roof topper would be the way I'd go next time in NA, a side tent requires to much set up time; here's my old set up -

Im building 3 custom roof rack cross bars to hold Roof top tents, Very popular this spring... 2 are the ARB tents, VERY WELL MADE and the 3rd is a custom/home made looking job built in Victoria,
I love the idea of a good roof top tent, I've sold a few roof racks for them now over to OZ , aparantly they help keep the nasty snakes and critters from coming into the tents at night looking for a new warm burrow in the cold nights.

Nice to see people getting out and using their Delicas for more than Mall meets

Lots of cheap nylon/canvas RTT's on eBay that are junk.
