I wonder if it's for safari park camping!

No I wouldn't!

I have seen a few of these over the years, some quite sophisticated ones too, but I have never seen the point of them.

At the end of the day, you are sitting on 4 sprung wheels and being so high, on a windy evening I reckon I would get sea sick with the swaying.

There is a ground based section as well, and the pull out awning .. looks pretty compact when packed away ... I can see how it could be fun .... the kids would love the 'top bunk'

The last one I saw was on top of a Landrover and it was hinged along one side of the roof rack.

It swung up and over creating a domed double width bedroom area whilst the folded over bit dropped down to the ground creating a kitchen area.

All fine and dandy but no where to sit. Just the kitchen and a bedroom.
