Scenic roof

Post by Bonneville » Wed Oct 10, 2018 10:56 am

Is it possible to do a full scenic roof with an AFT? In other words, to lower the tent completely so it's fully open up there? As per the Reimo style with the German blonde perched up there.

Yup. From memory, unzip fly screen, unzip tent, furl and retain up half of each, drop down lower half of each, and its all clear to view except for corner straps at front corners. :D

So, all you need now is a perch to attract a passing German blonde then? :wink:

Do I feel like a berk, now. Thanks, Mike, I've never seen one fully down so I thought it was a mod.

Reimo girl no doubt comes free with the roof given what they charge for it...

It doesn't drop fully, but the upper half comes right down as I recall, the two front straps remain in position holding the lower half up.
