Hi guys ,

Iv made a bit of an error with a new purchase . Iv bought the new solar bed mk2 , Iv been struggling sleeping and wanted to try and sort it out . However, after a little trial today , the bed is too high for my tempest brolly. My head was touching the roof . The new rs brolly is slightly higher and iv already been looking at them but im worried it will be too tight as the RS brolly is slightly smaller than the original 100 brolly .

Does any one use the RS brolly with a solar bedchair mk2 ?

I am in much the same situation. I have the original tempest brolly and the MK1 solar bed chair, and although i don't touch the top i do have to stoop and cant use a bed chair buddy which is becoming a necessity now a days with my back. Looked into it a lot and found the following on the web:-

Mk1 Brolly - Internal Dimensions: 120 cm (H) x 250 cm (W) x 230 cm (D)
100T Brolly - Internal Dimensions: Approx. 145 cm (H) x 230 cm (D) x 250 cm (W)
RS Brolly - Internal Dimensions: 140 cm (H) x 250 cm (W) x 210 cm (D)

I too have been down the rabbit hole with dimensions . The original brolly but the tall version would be ideal . I have the original brolly standard version and it’s not high enough for the solar bed .

The RS brolly is not as wide and quite a lot shallower in depth …. However , it is flatter at the back and more square in shape so should still accommodate the solar bed .

Infact I spoke with a mate last night who has the solar mk2 SS and tempest rs brolly . He says it fits lovely

It appears to be a good option for me . My brolly footprint will be smaller but will high enough for the bed .

The biggest downside is the extra weight but I’m generally fishing out the back of my van any way so will take the hit for HOPEFULLY a better sleep
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
