Roof Tent vs sleeping in vehicle - Pros and Cons
We are planning to travel from Eastern Russia to London via India.
One of our dillemas is deciding on what the best option re sleeping arrangments would be. We still need to buy our vehicle, so we can still be flexible with that. The two vehicles of choice would be Toyota Troopcarrier or a Landcruiser. The troopy will be big enough to kit out with a nice bed inside, where the Landcruiser won't be. If we decide on the Landcruiser, then we'll have to use a rooftent.
It would be great to hear of different experiences people have had with their different set-ups and why they chose those particular setups.
To me, the main pros and cons between the two would be 1.)The extra cost for a rooftent, 2) Obviously a bit safer sleeping inside the troopy and 3)Probably (or rather hopefully) easier to use each day.  Need to try and keep things as simple as possible.
Performance wise, I would prefer the Landcruiser and I think it might be a bit more economical and a little bit lighter. I know the troopy is known for its reliability though. Decisions decisions...:confused1:
