 1. Because this looks way less faff than setting up a tent, 2. comfier 3. and gives more flexibility as to where we stay. 

1. Tents really aren't hard to put up unless you are a moron. It does take out the hassle of finding a site however. 

2. Maybe slightly, depends on the tent. 

3. It doesn't, you need to find somewhere quiet you can park your car, where you can climb down from your tent in the night to take a piss. Normal tent, put it on your back and go wherever you want, up a hill, on a site, on the beach, anywhere. Car tents were designed to avoid bears, they might give you a slightly better view the odd time but I don't see the appeal.

They’re all the rage here. Heavier for the car = killing the planet with more emissions 

They’re a pretty sensible idea there though. Keeps you safe from bears, tigers, snakes, Australians, spiders, etc… in Scotland? Terrible idea, he should go for it.

Thanks for your feedback. I never said tents were hard to put up but they're definitely slower to erect than this, especially in a the wind. 

The tentbox is also going to be easier to sell to the bird, who I don't think has been camping in her life.

That's not very nice. I'm saddened by your lack of kindness.

If it’s windy I’d rather be closer to the ground and less exposed. Fuck climbing up and down a ladder to take a piss in the dark. 
 

Best of luck with it anyway.

Vanlife is the future.

If she doesn’t camp, I think you need a new lady in your life.

Is that a valid excuse for getting rid of her?

Fuck that get a motorhome.  You know it's the right thing to do.

As good a driver as she is, I think she’d panic in anything bigger than a van.
