Buying a roof top tent is a large investment. I wanted to create a video walking through 3 of the most popular styles of hard shell roof top tents and give you some of my thoughts, but also things to think about when selecting one to purchase. We stop by Modula Racks and chat with Ryan about the Roofnest line up of tents, the Falcon Pro, the Condor Overland, and the Sparrow. This is my Hardshell roof top tent 2022 buyer's guide.

Love this video! I just got back from an ocean to ocean drive from Nj to Vancouver! I did it in two weeks staying in White Rock with my fam for 7 days! It was me and my two boys in our Wrangler with our old first generation Tepui Kukenam which we have loved for years. But driving 15 hours a day the set-up time and break down time was a LOT. We got to fit in 4 National parks as well but. I came home rethinking my Rig. My fuel bill was INSANE too so I’d think these would also help with that my 2014 Dragon got 11 miles to the gallon😱 The only other thing I wish I got to see in Vancouver was that Volvo!!

For me, I enjoy the traditional feel and style of conventional camping. Albeit, it's on a roof, but that's about as different as it gets. So it's a soft shell tent for me. I could never justify the outrageous cost of hard shell tents. Paying upwards or 4-5k for a couple of slabs of aluminum coverings is crazy. Most of the canvas material you'll find is about the same across the board. In addition to insulated floorings (which I could live without) and diamond plated bases, the majority of the cost comes from the aluminum hard shells (again, something I can definitely live without). This is just my opinion. Thanks for the vid!

Just a PSA for those that don't know, DO NOT put those type of ladders (when he was putting up the first tent) at that much of an angle. They are made to be almost straight up and will collapse if they are extended like he had it for a high tent and you put much weight on them. I definitely like the style you have and want to upgrade my soft shell tent to your style of tent.
@Casey250
@Casey250 2 жыл бұрын
70 degrees is the recommended angle. I've used my RTT countless times in the last year and never had any issues with ladders at less steep angles and as seen the ladder didn't collapse on Ryan when he climbed it in the video. They are quite resilient but you can bend them. They will bend before they just fall apart on you, but i've used them at all kinds of angles with out any issue. However, Roofnest recommends 70 degrees. in their documentation.

Hardtops have some important advantages: They are not fumbly at all compared to the tents and they can be closed even if it rained - close a wet tent, yeah well, good luck with that.

I’m always interested why none of these rooftop tent people talk about condensation. Not just under the mattress pad but the whole unit. Or how they deal with the wet coast and rain a good deal of the time. Talking to real users serious issues of mould and impossible to dry the tent out. As you can’t pull the thing into your garage and open the tent. And since they are heavy as crap you can’t just take it off and dry in your garage.
@Casey250
@Casey250 2 жыл бұрын
Maybe ill do something around that. The less air flow and tents with out a fly, will make more condensation in the cooler wetter weather inside. You can run a heater to help with this. As for drying it after a trip, ive left my tent for a week in cold weather when its wet before drying it out. I try not to go too long. If i have to with a streak of bad weather ill open it even in the rain, put a heater in, dry the inside, then close up. Repeat ever 4 or 5 days until there is a sunny day to dry it and close it.

Perhaps i missed it in the Video. But there is a disadvantage of the flip over tent. In Germany (and other European countries as well) you are not allowed to build up a tent which footprint is larger then the footprint of the car if you would like to „wild“ camp or staying on a parking lot. (Of course you can, but that’s the official statement). If the outline isn’t bigger than the cars.. fine and legal. (On campgrounds you can open and set up as much as you want of course).

Now ultimately my goal isn't to make videos just to get views but, the more views and the bigger audience I have, the more capability to bring in revenue I have, which pays the bills so that I can make these videos.

South African and Aussies Roof Top tents are much better than US tents, where you keep the bedding ? Inside the car ? That’s ridiculous and a waste of time and space.

It was comfortable and good for the trip but I don't like how small it was inside. Sure was warm though.

@@Casey250 I understand that for sure :) We have a swag called the Darche Nebula 1550. It is called a swent by some reviewers, but the best of both worlds for us, still not a ton of room. At 1.8m i can just kneel in it to put on some clothes. Looking at an offroad caravan now. We just got a 65kg dog and well still figuring out the new setup. We think Swag and Gladiator for the go and a offroad caravan for basecamp

DO NOT BUY ROOFNEST. The quality is shit.. I have had my sparrow xl top cave in on me.. they replaced the top months later got a crack on the fiber glass shell... they told me to jb weld it, i did that... 1 month out of warranty more cracks in the shell and the clear coat is peeling.. Water got in and caused mold to grow on my mattress, blankets, sheets and pillows. Contacted Roofnest and 'all they can offer' me is 1000$ of a new tent when ive had mine for barely 2 years lol.. I am getting lawyer involved if you research online hundreds of people with the same manufacture defects.. Roofnest is expensive for nothing, and customer service is even worse.

Jesus, 2 weeks to do that, You will do it quicker, The old tele track is rough as, If you don't want to wreck your ute, avoid it, From Bramwell station to Pusan Bay is only a days driv via the Falls If the rain is coming in, Go up inland, Atherton, to Lakeland, Bramwell station, Elliot falls, Pusan Bay, On the way home, change it around, & come down via the lions den & the ocean road, It will give time for the creeks to settle, Just my apinion, Enjoy your trip
