Hi Peepies!

I've got a 1998 Conway Olympia (only got it a few weeks ago and went camping in it last weekend for the first time, superb)!

I'm trying to find a roof rack for it, and have searched the web but to no avail. Anyone know where I could source one from?

Hi I have never seen a roof rack for a folding camper but I have used one of the cargo bags strapped to the top of my Pennine Fiesta when I had it. Still have the cargo bag will probally sell it, simular to eBay item  310140839768. What part of the country are you in?

Watch your loaded weight.  many FCs are heavy in relation to the capacity of the suspension & tyres.  Cost me £400 a couple of years ago to replace knackered Indespension units.  Check your manufacturers spec & have the trailer weighed on a weigh bridge before considering fitting anything.

Steve.

Oooh, yes, thanks Steve for the advice. It really is to store sleeping things (we like to do duvets me and the wife, take up a lot of space though) so hopefully weight wont be a problem.

I like the look of the cargo bag tho. I'm in Wiltshire (must update my profile doodah, will do that in a min), so a bit far from Surrey, Stirling. Might fork out for a newie.
