Guinea hens make great soup lol.... 👍 Great idea is always great to stumble on to on CZcams..... that whole contraption with the cap looks awesome 👍💡thanks for the video 👍
"Thanx Fer Watching". We loved it until i took off with 1 strap attached to my truck :( we still take it along with us as a food tent or if someone forgot there tent . Very good material!!
Hi Bob, I've been looking at this one for my Ram with a Leer high boy. Can't believe you are the first and only video showing a high boy set up. THANK YOU. If you don't mind I was hoping you could tell me if you think it would fit my opening. From ground to tailgate 3' to top of topper 7'2" opening width 5'4" height 4'2". Any help would be much appreciated.
Well ill help as much as possible. I read in a post that if you have a lift on your truck that it could cause problems. My truck is at stock height. There is a small acceptance with lifts, If I remember when i asked they said a 6 inch lift wouldnt work, My truck measures 30 inches to my tailgate And a 57 inches when the glass is open from my tailgate, overall 6 ft 11 1/2 inchs to the top of my topper. Dont wanna mislead you, it might be advantageous to call RightLine
Hi! Great review and thanks for your answers to the previous commenters. I’m waiting for mine to arrive to use with my minivan! Do ya’ll still use yours? 😊
Looks like a snug fit to your rig. Any issue with bugs getting in? Thanks for the video. I have a topper set up too, and this looks like a great way to go.
No bugs at all .Like you said its a snug fit Just make sure you wait(after you kill the engine) before you attach it to your topper. Thanx Fer Watching
In Colorado at 10,000 elevation we get some pretty strong winds. One storm blew threw and had winds at least 40mph the tent was bent backwords and popped right back into place. This tent is the best thing for our trips, the wife loves it, were off the ground and its the best sleep i get on vacations to the mountains.
Bob, this 5 years old now. May I ask how it held up to use and how many times you have used it? I have a F150 with with a high top shell and the hatch door is 7 feet tall when open. Would you guess it would fit over that? Thanks
Yes we went to Colorado in 2016 and it was very solid. One specific storm was pushing it over and thought it was gunna go but bounced back . Easy setup once you have done it once. No problem with floor, wore my boots on it. Everyone with us thought it was pretty cool LOL On that High Boy A.R.E. TOPPER it fits well, lil tight but thats what you want. Zero leaks
Its a great setup, loved it. Forgot 1 attachment, still hooked up to my truck i took off and ripped a BIG hole in it. If you get one make sure ALL are unhooked lol
Yes Well if I hadn't taken off with a strap still connected to my truck It would be. Ripped it big time. But as a stand alone tent it's still a good tent. Used duct tape on it and use it as a food tent.
Sorry was on vacation, yes it withstands the big rain storms.(Colorado) Used it last week as a food tent, it rained heavy and everything was dry. Attached to my truck ,no leaks!!
well I know it works well keeping squiters out. it wont do well in 70mph winds but what will, lol. we get some very strong winds in the mountains. base camp is at 10000 feet, it survived a pretty nasty storm. had ot bent over and bounced right back
Bob, what are you using as a liner in the bed of your truck? btw we have this tent and we use it with a Ford Ranger. It gives us a weather proof living room (small table w/ 2 camping chairs) with plenty of room for gear when it’s too rainy or buggy to sit under the Easy Up.
My wife Loves it we too set our chairs and igloos etc... If you asking about the blue Foam, Its just you house carpet padding, acts as a heat / cold barrier between my truck bed and my truck bed mattress
I have one of those dumb questions - if you don't mind? Please. Or anyone else? I have Hyundai Santa Fe & was thinking of using a setup like this instead of a travel trailer. One idea IS to use tailgate for like a stove, serving, etc except odors on bedding (close). Guess you could just flip/throw it away from you. Whatcha think? Not sure how much you've used it yet. I'm 61 yr old woman- do you think I could manage to put it up alone? Be honest. (I'm NOT sensitive or PC so go for it! LoL 😁) I'm only 5'6" so I don't need much height & not looking for huge amount of floor area. I realize they have standard sizes of these things. I like these cuz I can sleep safer. BUT if you go to a paid tent site will this "pass"? I don't mean the sites where you have to carry everything to your site. How small does it break down to? Hope you can answer. ThanX in advance 🤗.
As far as cooking inside the tent I wouldnt, you could but i would be afraid it catch fire.Depending on how your rear door opens will tell you how tall it will be. I have to close it for my wife when breaking it down. Im sure it will fit around your santa fe and it does have the pull fasteners to tighten it. I made the call to a dealer and told him how I was going to use it and he said it would fit. You might wanna do that. I used it last month as a stand alone food tent, Lots of rain in Colorado this year, everything stayed dry. It would be difficult to do it by yourself because you have to bend the poles. I watched the A guy setup it up by himself, but hes a lot bigger than you. I Love this tent and if anything ever happened to it i would buy another. A lot of bear attacks this year in Colorado due to people putting food in the tents they were sleeping in. Be Careful with that. Measurements are 14 inhes around and 30 inches Long. Also you will need a lil step ladder to get to the top 2 straps. My wife said she could do it by herself but it would take more time, she's 5ft 2 47years old Hope this helps "Thanx Fer Watchin"
BobElgin. Thank you for all the time & effort you put into answering me. My hatch opens way high (have to reachhh to close it!) soo. Re: cooking, was thinking maybe propane & being right there but outside would be safer of course. I assume that's what you do? Yup, FOR SURE, 1/2 my reason for considering this is ALL bear-items AND ME inside, close hatch. I've heard people are even covering coolers IN THEIR cars if they can be seen as bears have learned!! Amazing! They also, in some cases, break auto glass. I'll have to figure something out. ThanX again for your input. 🤗
Sorry for the delay , Just got back from Colortado. It was fine until I forgot and left 1strap tied to my truck . Ripped a hole in it. I loved it. very good suv tent. We recently bought a Toy Hauler so now we wont be using it. But I stand by my review. Thanx fer Watchin and Commenting
there are 3 straps on each side 2 straps on top an 2 straps on bottom They all hook to your truck bumper, fender and wiper blades. Holds it down pretty good. You can see how they attach in the video--all except the bottom the attaches to your rear bumper
The foam roll along the hatch edge is a smart hack that I will be stealing.

Thanks for sharing. I'm looking at this option for small SUV.
Thank you sir. I'll do that and post in your comments the max dimensions if you don't mind

Intéressant

That's just dandy.. I'll get one for my Jeep.. Thanks!
We loved ours until I drove off with one of the straps still attached to my truck :(
ripped a big hole in it.
@@BobElgin oh no! Lol. Well at least they're not that expensive...

Thanks for showing was wondering how these attached and how well they did. Have you had any experience with winds if so how many MPH
In Colorado at 10,000 elevation we get some pretty strong winds. One storm blew threw and had winds at least 40mph the tent was bent backwords and popped right back into place.

Thanks for the video. Have you had it pitched in any winds yet? How does it perform? Is the floor durable?
Yes we went to Colorado in 2016 and it was very solid. One specific storm was pushing it over and thought it was gunna go but bounced back . Easy setup once you have done it once. No problem with floor, wore my boots on it. Everyone with us thought it was pretty cool LOL On that High Boy A.R.E. TOPPER it fits well, lil tight but thats what you want. Zero leaks
Looks like a nice setup. I wish the door was on the passenger side. Most campsites are set up for passenger side access.
Its a great setup, loved it. Forgot 1 attachment, still hooked up to my truck i took off and ripped a BIG hole in it. If you get one make sure ALL are unhooked lol
Thanks for the video! Are you still happy 5 yrs later?
Yes Well if I hadn't taken off with a strap still connected to my truck It would be. Ripped it big time. But as a stand alone tent it's still a good tent. Used duct tape on it and use it as a food tent.
Have you tried it under rain or heavy downpour, wondering it's waterproofing property?
Sorry was on vacation, yes it withstands the big rain storms.(Colorado) Used it last week as a food tent, it rained heavy and everything was dry. Attached to my truck ,no leaks!!
Where did you get this from I like it
if I remember right eTrailor. you can do a search for them, should come up with a few sites
I live in Florida, torrential rains and MOSQUITOS......how would it do? I have a Toyota with Leer Highboy.
well I know it works well keeping squiters out. it wont do well in 70mph winds but what will, lol. we get some very strong winds in the mountains. base camp is at 10000 feet, it survived a pretty nasty storm. had ot bent over and bounced right back

Glad to help
Im getting one for my Santa fe. I see no problems
How hard is it to disconnect from the truck in case you need to go to town?
we did exactly that, quick tear down.works well, just remember not to hook it up to your truck with the muffler hot :)
I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 4x4 very tall with a leer 122 high top shell. Do you think this tent would fit it?
i would think not, its doing all it can on my truck. Call there company 1st
@@BobElgin thanks Bob
Any update on your Rightline tent? Hows it holding up
Sorry for the delay , Just got back from Colortado. It was fine until I forgot and left 1strap tied to my truck . Ripped a hole in it. I loved it. very good suv tent. We recently bought a Toy Hauler so now we wont be using it. But I stand by my review.
Thanx fer Watchin and Commenting
So how do you attach it to the truck?
there are 3 straps on each side 2 straps on top an 2 straps on bottom They all hook to your truck bumper, fender and wiper blades. Holds it down pretty good. You can see how they attach in the video--all except the bottom the attaches to your rear bumper
Have you tried it on a strong rainy day(s)? How did it hold up? Thanks!
yes i have, in the mountains (Colorado) a very bad storm blew through and it was up for the challenge.
@@BobElgin did water ever got in any areas? Thank you
@@donlyl3 Nope!!!
@@BobElgin awesome thanks!
lol, is that thing seriously tied down to the wipers?
Yup. Just the grey part of the tent. Works great
Or to a roof rack/cargo carrier if you have one.
