I’ve had this tent for over a year. I love it. No issue! Great video Rib! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
That’s awesome! The one thing I couldn’t test was long term durability, so it’s good to hear it’s solid.
So glad that you took the mattress out and put in your own bedding, this is the review I was waiting to see on this tent. So many of the other reviews were good and very detailed but didn't do that. One simple thing. Thing. And for me no mattress that comes in a rooftop tent or is only 2 in thick is ever going to work. I use the REI version of the exped and it's amazing
It's one of the most important things for me too!
This is a great tent. My daughter has one on her 4runner and she loves it. It has more room than my RoofNest.
Yeah it is. It appears very similar to the much more expensive Roof Nest
Just ordered a set of Method Bead Grip 703 machined wheels. They are having a 15% off sale but I used your code and got 20% off on the next shipment in June. Thanks so much. Trent at Method is great.
Awesome! Great choice.
My Darche Ridgeback RTT looks exactly the same (even the colour & ladder are the same). Will not be surprised if they were made from the same factory. Though I wish the Darche cost the same as that (mine cost AUD$3,900 - on special!). I got this RTT due to the feature of the rear wall extending out. It's amazing how much more room this feature gives inside. I've had mine for 2 years now, and I recommend keeping an eye on the waterproofing tape along the seams. Mine have started to peel off the canvas. I did find the mattress firm, so I got myself a mattress topper which improved its comfort. Adding the mattress topper, sheets, and a thick Coleman Big Game -6c sleeping bag, there is no room for pillows (It will fit if I really forced it, but I don't want the mattress getting squished too much). That is extremely generous of you. 👍👌
They definitely look similar. It’s the same style as the Ironman and Roofnest too, although there are some subtle differences.
I love mine just got it out for the first time last weekend
Awesome!
Bought one of these months ago. Its awesome.
I think it's a great option!
Awesome, great idea and so cool you gave him the tent...I'm ready for a Tent Shootout, lol.
I was really amazed when I saw this in person!
It definitely exceeded my expectations
Nicely done with giving Clay that RTT, Rob! It couldn't have gone to a better person as you full well know. That is my Wife's silver 200 series. Clay was getting ready for the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway Ride. Looks like an awesome option for the price point! The way you reviewed it on top of the crate it came in was genius! I got to see it in a different, and better angle. Well done Rob! Best real-world reviews on CZcams! Also if you need any type of adventure vehicle or 4x4 related work, look no further than Commonwealth 4x4! Amazing work and worth the journey from wherever you are. Ask me how I know!
He definitely deserves it!
What is the bed rack? I just got my tent and I'm still waffling on what bed rack to get for my 6' bed on my 2016 colorado. Fits like a glove on that truck in the video!
I know you need to lock your tent in the Pacific Northwest so squatters don’t get in there while your driving thru the cities. Lol. Crazy bang for the buck on that tent! I’ll check out that mattress right now.
Lol! The Hest mattress is amazing.
Looking at the hard shell (top) side opening RTT’s that would fit in the short bed of a midsize truck and open to the side. Any suggestions based on your experiences?
I’m a huge fan of the iKamper series tents. The mini is a great fit for short truck beds.
I've had this tent with the stock mattress out on one outing so far, and I would honestly say that the3 mattress is my only complaint. Other than the $500 Hest, are there any less expensive mattress upgrades that come in the same size that you would recommend? I simply don't go out often enough to justify the Hest (yet), but definitely need something better than the 1.5"-2" thing this tent shipped with. Any pointers would be much appreciated! Maybe the Exped MegaMat?
I think the Exped would be a good choice. You might be able to join some AluCab groups and get one that someone has taken out. It’s a pretty good mattress!
Welp, I'm sold.
Yeah maybe I should have kept it lol
I got this tent and it amazing fir the price. Can u tell me the brand or the name of the matress
The Hest mattress is the really good one. I put my old AluCab mattress in for Clay.
Clays the best
He's a great guy!
Is it a plastic or aluminum hard shell?
Aluminum
I wanna be your friend 🙏🏻 too
I wish they had affirm pay
Save the money for 6 months instead of making 6 months of payments! The best campsites will still be there!
How do you think this tent would do in winter or snow ❄️ (with heat 🔥)?
I think it would be fine with heat. For more serious 4 season camping I'd start looking at the more expensive ones. The iKamper BDV Duo has canvas, which is breathable, and would be much more appropriate for cold weather.
When putting a tent on a truck with a roof rack. It’s better to turn the tent the other way around. That gives you a a nice platform to enter and no obstruction from an awning or climbing over a fully loaded tailgate
You can put the ladder on either side of this, but I would rather just climb up on the tailgate and leave the ladder at home.
Hmmmm how come so many videos about this tent show up all at once? 😅
All the pre-orders delivered at the same time
I only know of me and Matt (Ozark Overland), and that's because they asked us both to wait until mid May to publish. They were hoping to have them back in stock for the video release, but they're so popular that they keep on selling their pre-orders!
178lbs is likely quite miserable on top of a smaller 4x4
That's basically the same weight as the iKamper Skycamp that I had on the Jeep Wrangler and the BDV Duo that my buddy runs on his Bronco.
So fake🤡
Yeah the whole thing was CGI
