Iv just bought the mk 2 solar bed . Yet to use it . It’s firmer than any bed Iv ever owned , probably heavier too . The people I know who have one say it’s the best bed they have ever owned

I came in around 2017 I believe it was , potentially before . We had issues with the dogs . I think they were new at the time. I had to barricade myself on the spit on D2 to stop the dogs from getting to my dog .
No idea who was in charge back then

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

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 did look at those , how easy would it be to set one of those up for filming when Iv caught one ? Example , camera will be taking photos set up on a bank stick , I’m thinking of setting the video up next to it . Can they be attached to anything ?

That’s quite a lot less than I’m paying of my emovis tag . Wish I would have looked into this
