I have one of these available ( belongs to a mate ).
They are rare as hen's teeth and would fit on the side of Landrover or high sided vehicle or can be free standing , would probably be able to be modded to tale a stove jack .......

That picture is a stock image and it doesn’t come with the AFV . I have some other pictures and could put it up to take more or a video … it’s been on Ops #sas#afghan#specialforces#antmiddleton

I’ve seen it up , some stains but not major and may wash out , rubber base is immaculate, all zips and tie outs in working order .

You’ll struggle to find one of these nowadays….

There’s no rush I’m just testing the water

Pushed out some big snores in one of these; always set up on the right hand side of the vehicle in the hope of not getting squished!

if you want one for a land rover be advised they don’t fold up that small!

We used to have the big daddy to that when I was attached to 2 RTR back in the days when we had Centurions, not as posh as that one with ties instead of zips and no nice groundsheet. It used to stink like a polecats arse with as full crew farting and belching in there

One of these things used to be my home on exercises

Strong shelter.

A nice heavy duty ridge line and it will stand well....... hung between a couple of trees......if it was not practical or possible to use on the Land rover at the time
Would be easy enough to add a stove jack and sort out some more ventilation.
Sewn in ground sheet is a bonus and very tuff.

I can see you and Gavin in that @Matt

I was posted to 32 Armoured Engineer Regiment in Osnabruck in the late 80' s.......4RTR were there then .

Used to have one Rob......nice bit of kit......mice got to it in my old shed a few years ago now and buggered it
But I salvaged the rubberised ground sheet which was not touched...... I have cut it into sections to use as footprints/ground sheets for other shelters now

Heavy and bulky.....but for a long stay camp out......nice
