Vickywood SMALL WILLOW 140 vs Vickywood WILLOW PRO 1 ECO 160
Both of these are Vickywood tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The SMALL WILLOW 140 and the WILLOW PRO 1 ECO 160 share Vickywood's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
On weight they are effectively level — 56 kg against 52.65 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both.

The SMALL WILLOW 140 uses ABS Line-X coated lockable cover; honeycomb aluminium floor; the WILLOW PRO 1 ECO 160 uses 1000G PVC truck-tarp protective cover.
