Can someone please do me a very quick favour and tell me what the longest pole I can fit from a recessed corner of either side of the rear boot to the furthest side of the boot opening is?

I'm trying to figure out what the longest tent pole I can fit in the boot is.

Thanks.

I had a map tube to hand and it fitted pretty snuggly at an angle. Its 91cm long.

Thanks, this was exactly what I needed. My longest pole is 105cm, so I'll have to think of another option, maybe down the sill in the passenger footwell down the side of the seat...

Or diagonally behind one or other of the seats. The storage box option might scupper that approach.

Yep, we took a large brolly to Goodwood and had to fit it behind the seats smile

Is the diagonal across the front boot not a useable option?

Frunk dimensions are 780mm wide, ~530-570mm deep and 200mm tall. Without going to actually measure it I think ~900mm is the longest 'thing' you'd be able to get in it.

[Side note: we ought to make a 'camping in an A110' thread - I've thoroughly enjoyed making my kit so small I've considerable room to spare laugh)

Although my camping days are over now, many years ago I did a european camping tour 2 up in a Europa S2. I'm sure one in the A110 would be no problem.
