Quick tip for Single Skinned Tents, Hang a Micro Fibre towel(or 2) in tent, they will absorb the moisture from your breath at night, trust me it works for my Hiking tents, Good review Mate.

I would personally replace the Quick release nuts holding the tent down with nylocs. The tent doesn't come off your set up, so quick removal isn't a priority. And if you do head north, you'd hate to have the tent rattle off! The tracks up there can be insanely rough! Nylocs are king! 😉

Keep making videos mate! Youre excellent at speeches, so clear to understand and to the point.

I've had this tent for a couple of years and had similar issues. I replaced those original hand nuts with nylons and some 308 washers (no need to check ever again) And for the rubbing by the ladder, I bought a 1mX1m peice of astro turf. I use it at the bottom of the ladder when I use the tent. Looks good, soft on feet and can clean feet aswell. When I pack up, I place upside down then place ladder on top. It has stopped the rubbing and damages caused by the ladder. Overall bloody good little tent and great review 😊

Thanks for taking the time to do the review...it was very helpful as it looks like this tent takes on many different brand names so applicable to all. The ladder recommendation is excellent! :-)

Thanks to you and all your commenters for sharing - some great stuff

Anaconda now have these for $999 down from $2499. I think I'll head in and get one

Great video mate. You're so well spoken and a natural presenter. Great work

May be able to help you with the ladder issue. What I do is, I clip the ladder into the two brackets the are used to hold the ladder when you are getting into the tent. I clip the ladder with the legs facing into the tent. The clips keep it in place and stop it moving around inside the cover. Happy to send you a picture to show you. Cheers

Legend, answered all questions perfectly. I pick mine up today and can’t wait. Thanks

Great video mate. Well spoken, clear and to the point. A pleasure to watch, and good intel too 👍

Greetings from Geraldton mate, Just watching your video and thought that I might comment as we go. Still to choose our choice of rooftop tent and obviously doing my research on good old KZfaq. 1. Have you considered or possibly know of anyone that might have put nyloc locking nuts behind the manufacturers fastening system.? That would certainly give me peace of mind when travelling on corrugated roads like ummmm The Gibb River Road!! (which we are doing during June 22) 2. How noisy? Flapping noises in the middle of the night when camping whether in our swag, Instantup tent or even our caravan (which we have since sold), generally to me involves money and all I see is $50 notes as I wonder what is being destroyed. 3. The flyscreen damage caused by the ladder, possibly get a canvas duffle or gear bag? to store the ladder in to prevent any damage to anything, even your sleeping bag. 4. You talked about your roof racks too mate. In your opinion would 2 racks be enough to support the tent, possibly shortening the distance between them forward & rear? My canopy is similar to yours at 2100 long, not sure of the width off the top of my head. Keep up the great work mate & maybe we will see you on the road someday in the big and beautiful Western Australia. regards Brett n Ja

You could easily strap down a folding solar blanket to the top whilst driving.👍

Love the video, you’re a very good presenter!

I'm convinced! Thank you so much for part 1 & 2 I have been really struggling with what to buy as a total novice and I am off to buy one of these!

I bought one it had a bent frame and snapped in that very spot first pull down anaconda warranted it no questions asked but having seen that I would not put kayak on top cheers great review

thanks for the follow up video, my question was about dust, and lots of it, the dust you do encounter up north but you did say, yet to test that out. i did see someone said to run a flat washer and lock nut over the mounting bracket screws to stop them loosening off.

Great review mate Budget rooftop and you have addressed many enquiries to make purchasing an easy decision :)

Mate! Amazing video! I think I am gonna get this one! But I got few questions: 1. I now got a Subaru Impreza and I think the weight actually holds onto the car fine. But if I upgrade my car to say Subaru Outback or a Toyota 4wd, can I reuse this tent to move it onto the top of the new car (with new set of roof racks of course)? 2. For the flapping etc during high wind conditions, Ive heard complaints about this being noisy. So if not this tent which one would you suggest 3. Which one is better? The foldout tents or the one that stays almost on top of a car? With foldout tents I dont want half of my body to be outside the footprint of the car 😂

Thanks Daniel, great video. just purchased our dune and about to put it on a Renault koleos 4x4 . Looking forward to our first trip.

Nice reviews man! There is a big sale on them at the moment at anaconda, anyway just subscribed :) keep it up my dude!

Mate these videos are perfect. I have been doing my fair share of research and settled on these tents or the dune hard shell version anyway just waiting on stock to come in. Seeing your comment about the kayak on top has made me lean more towards this variety over the hard shell with racks now. Thanks a lot for the piece of mind and great reviews

great review bro i enjoyed it thank you, would love to see a review on it in the cape york area

So how is it after making a few videos about it...seen tjat you changed to the hardtop ?

Hey mate how is the tent going along now? Is it still on your car full time? Great vid cheers!

Mine has been on the car less than 3 months and I haven’t travelled far. The hand screw nuts are rubbish and vibrated off in less than 100klm. They’ll be replaced with Nyloc nuts. Otherwise fine.

instead of moving the screen and then suggesting to cover your bedding with a matt, why not just put a matt over the screen in the first place?

can the packed size be smaller if the bedding was out of the tent or is there something physically blocking it from folding further down? I'm asking due to my garage having 2.1m limit and I need it to be somewhere between 20-23cm when packed down...

Excellent review thanks

Notice you don't use the Dune awning? Can I ask why? I got the rooftop tent, thanks for video 1, but I am now researching the awning. Thanks for the tips.

Great review, seems like a pretty good value budget RTT

Hey mate. Why did you choose the soft top over the hard top?

Awesome reviews mate, I'm definitely gonna get myself one, just not sure what size yet! do you regret not getting the 140cm width version? If not, why?

Wicked video, thanks for a follow up. Do you leave your pillows and extra rugs in the tent when it's folded down or only the sleeping bag?

Thank you for the helpful informative video 🙋‍♀️👍

Did you find it awkward mounting the left side of RTT with the brackets and awning in the way?Great review by the way.

Hi mate, thanks for the videos, all very helpful. I'm considering a similar setup to yours with a MRT canopy but mounting the tent directly to the roof without the roof racks. Obviously would still need the internal support system. Do you think this would work with the clips for the cover or do you need to be able to access underneath? Cheers, Brad.

Another great video 👍👌

Great review again. Im just wondering roof fly can be taken off to see sky at the night?

Hey mate I know you may not have this tent anymore, but I was wondering if you ever had an issue where when packed away, one side would be higher than the other. Obviously there are the poles and stuff on that side but in the video it seems that the whole thing is flat? I'm pulled it down as far as it'll go, ive only got sleeping bag and doona in there which shouldnt stop it closing flat..

This video was annoyingly helpful. Not sure if I should shell out and extra $500 for a 23zero rooftop tent or go with this one now.

Hi, Gday, thanks for the video reviews. We are looking at camping outback Qld. Wonder why you have a RTT vs a traditional tent, is this because of snakes, crocs etc? We will be 3 PAX, so will be tight fit in a RTT vs a traditional tent and use a roof rack for storage / fuel etc. Many thanks!. James M

Hi mate…great vids…has the strap used to pull the tent down shown any signs of wearing holes in the rain fly as yet?

Hi, have you ever looked into purchasing the annexe that goes with the tent? We've been looking to add it on but its quite pricey and I can't find any reviews or videos on it!

A great follow-up video, Daniel. Great looking beach, too....where is that???

How have you find your fuel economy has it effected at all with extra wind drag

Nice one mate, well done

Great review. Can I ask what size it is. Nomad 120 or Nomad 140 Thankyou

How has it handled any rain mate? And how’s the condinsation?

Any issues with condensation under the mattress?

Have you noticed any change in fuel economy with the tent on?

What could I do if I want it to be water proof but I still Want to be able to see out the windows?

Can you put this on a 4 door hilux sr5

is the 120cm for two people really enough to sleep comfortably?

Hey mate, do you think I’ll have any dramas mounting this to a rhino pioneer rack?

Thanks legend. Can you give us any decent beach camp sites in Sydney? Or the best camp Sites in nsw? Seems like you know your way to them lol

What is the cover like for UV damage over time in the elements?

How noisy is the cover when driving at 120 km/h?

Hey mate, have you had and rain or water issues driving into rain with the underneath side being open cross bars not a solid flat metal floor. Thanks for the vids.

Hey mate how is the tent going along now? Is it still on your car full time? Great vid cheers!
