Griff - why take the hood?

[dg1]

Me and the girl plus stuff and tent and beer and spares and beer and airbed and beer and I guess some clothes and food... but it ain't all going to fit well in the Griff. So I'm looking at how I can save some space and I'm thinking if the weather's good, who needs a roof section? Bit of plastic to keep the rain and sun off while parked up should do it. I'm a Le Mans newbie - is this idea Sane or Stupid?
