Subaru Outback. Probably not as refined as my old A4 Avant, but good ground clearance, AWD, reliable and has all the toys and gadgets.

Best I had was the Sundridge Sleep Skin. Don't know whether they still do them, Daiwa also had their own branded one too. £30 I paid for my last set

I have always stretched the bungee cord around a second time on the two beds I've had

I bought a catapult from Angling Direct online but had to return it, and went in person to a store (ex-Fosters).
Only one of the dozen or so they had, had an elastic that wasn't perishing. I took them all off the rack to the counter to show them, and they told me to put them back on the rack. That wouldn't have happened at my local tackle shop

I found they slipped when I tried them in store, but will be returning to have another look following Gerry's advice on tightening them up.
Most cam lok sticks clamp on a single point, but the avid sticks clamp all the way round which makes adjusting them possible.

Cheers. I'll see if I can get there this week, and have another play.

I'm not criticising your verdict, but everyone on the rack in all lengths slipped, and didn't see or know they could be adjusted.
I'm not expecting to force them into the ground without them collapsing, but expect better grip than what I'm seeing.
The Avid were better than the Sonik, but not by a lot

I have used most banksticks makes in the past and bought some AVID LOK DOWN BANK STICKS
and I think they are the best out there rock solid and dont slip

I had a look at some in Go Outdoors yesterday. The fit between make and female sections was better than the Sonik, but still slipped.
Looks like I'll have to be a bit less tight with my money and get some more Nash or Fox sticks

Been out since Sunday with a number of heavy down pours and mine have been fine, and never had a problem before that
