Roof top tent or awning & awning tent?

I think.I saw one on a blue Gen4 in Sainsbury's car park, like a huge black square bag on the roof.  The car also looked as if it had been coated with glue and driven through a Jimny accessory store...obviously a much cherished car!

Awning rooms don't seem a great idea to me, all of the disadvantages of a normal tent (putting up, taking down, risk of mildew if not dry) while also being less weather proof.

Agree with Lambert that roof tents are a pain because you can't use the car while pitched, although the hard shell ones do appeal to me because they're quick to setup and less prone to problems when packing away damp.

Best solutions are a caravan or trailer pod, but they limit your performance and options for routes.

If it were me, I'd go for a simple side awning and a traditional tent.

To be fair, the best solution would be to use a bigger vehicle than a Jimny and sleep inside it, but that's an entirely different conversation

I don't understand the attaction of roof tents, let alone on tiny cars like the Jimny that are overloaded the minute you put them on.

Have you looked at any regular ground tents? If you like the idea of a roof tent then the OzTent RV range might appeal. Partly because they are so long you'd need to carry it on the roof anyway, but they are also very quick to put up and would work well with an awning.
