At £500 the smal one seems too goog to be true.

Quality is not bad but not the same as the known brands such as Eezi awn, Howling moon, Autohome, etc,... If price is a player go for it otherwise look for a South african one.

Much prefer a caravan in Britain - something to do with the weather :D Those of us with Freelanders need to consider the weight high up - so nylon is the better option. Don't know how it will fit on a roof rack with side rails as I just mounted it direct to the roof bars.
