Just been to pick up some camping gear i lent to a friend over the weekend, he wanted to see the seven so i thought i would kill two birds etc, (seven is a new purchase).
took him out, loved it, then came to load up the tents. in the seven i managed to fit:
2 scout patrol tents
2 sets of poles for patrol tents
2 dining shelters
2 sets of poles for dining shelters
1 plastic crate of pegs

I have done allsorts in my se7en including several weekly shops. I just take the seat out and it then has loads of space.

I have also dropped of two weeks of ironing and collected it again!

also picked up DIY stuff before and carried two peoples worth of weekend kit and gone to the ring and back.

Done loads of stuff in mine, se7ens are great!

I have just fitted a full cage on mine and I have a Halford Eurobox that will bolt to the cage for road trips. Just making the brackets up now.

Can't help thinking it looks like an F2 BRISCA Stockcar.

Loads of room for storage now and it keeps the rain off your head

Now when you say 7 do you really mean 7.5 tonne wagon...?

Good effort and from personal experience, yes you can fit the weekly supermarket haul in to a 7

That's life size you see, just to reinforce how spacious and practical the 7 really is

looks great, i regually go camping in mine with the missis, no probs 4 space, great fun too, having blast down to the coast.

beaver34 - 16/9/10 at 03:10 PM

how do people go camping with them?! stuff on the back tied to the cage?

bi22le - 16/9/10 at 03:19 PM

Yeah just remove the rear tonneau and pill it on.

It helps having a short wife so that I can rob some of the leg room!!

(I'm assuming thats a niger or icelandic ?)

This is a friends car when we camped at a street sprint event out in the country back in August.
