After lurking here for sometime, we decided to go and 'look' at tents the other night.
We are now the proud owners of a quechua 4.2 xl 
As we only have a smallish car, I need to look at storage solutions. We used to cope fine squeezing 2 adults and two kids in the car with all our stuff for a week at a hired caravan but now the tent takes up all the boot space!
So, this morning I have been looking at roof racks. Our lower cost holiday plans are starting to get expensive.
As an alternative to the traditional roof racks I have been looking at the strap on roof bars. I'm not keen on the inflatable ones but I'm now considering the xrack rackinabag or the northcore soft rack. Does anyone have any experience of these or have any better ideas for transporting the tent on short journeys?
