And here are a couple of rooftop tents I've confirmed are exactly the same, with the only difference being in the design on the fabric, as well as some having crossbars and different awnings. But they are all high quality.

I recently went through the process of purchasing a rooftop tent, and I thought I'd share my experience with you all. For the past two years, I've been using a Roam Vagabond Lite RTT, which was great, but it had its drawbacks. Setting it up and tearing it down took forever, and it consumed a lot of roof space, making it difficult to incorporate other accessories like solar panels and storage boxes. As a result, I found myself dreading the setup process and camping less frequently.
I began exploring wedge-style tents as an alternative, but I was discouraged by the steep prices of reputable brands, with most starting at around $3500. Being hesitant to invest such a significant amount without assurance of quality, I looked into a lot of budget options which seemed promising with their positive reviews.
That's when I stumbled upon the TopBee/naturenest rooftop tents. With only a few reviews and limited video content available, I was initially hesitant. However, the price point of $1200 and free returns was hard to argue. After some contemplation (and perhaps a couple of beers), I decided to take the plunge. Amazon's return policy offered reassurance in case things didn't work out.
To my surprise, the tent arrived promptly and was impressively packaged. Upon inspection, I couldn't distinguish it from higher-priced models I had seen at exhibitions or owned by friends. The build quality was solid, with no signs of poor craftsmanship. Even the material felt comparable, if not better, than my previous rooftop tent.
In conclusion, if you're in the market for a new tent, I urge you to consider supporting smaller companies like this one. Affordable yet high-quality options like the TopBee/naturenest tent make outdoor adventures more accessible to everyone, regardless of budget constraints.
Let me know if I missed anything or if you'd like to see something in more detail!

If anybody didn't already see the comment, 4 months later and a couple hailstorms and my tent is still holding up awesome. Just took a new video of it and will be posting that here soon! It's been super cozy, stays cool at night and will update again once we do some fall camping to see how it does in the cold.... but I am optimistic.

Been a few months since the video was made… any updates, positive or negative? My wife wants to get a roofnest and just spend the money for quality, but if I don’t have to I’d love not to. Any further review would be helpful to hear. Thanks man! Totally shared your frustration with that leasing agent too. 😂

Hey man! Yeah, couple months of camping trips and it’s been holding up like a champ. Just got hailed on too but still going strong. Some small dents but no actual functional damage. I just relocated to Colorado and I’m getting things set back up but I think I’m going to do another full rig walkthrough video and review the tent as well. Without getting yelled at by a leasing agent 🤣

@@Overland_FJC weather seals should keep the water out, if you use the tent in the rain it’s always a good idea to open it up when it’s sunny to make sure it’s properly dry.

Awesome, will definitely do that then. I had a buddy whose tent was soaked but I think his weather seal was torn and that was why. I’m wondering if I can order a spare liner at some point so I can replace mine if I ever have to
