I'm reviewing the NaturNest hardshell RTT from Amazon, installed on my 4Runner! It currently runs around $1300 USD + shipping, which ended up being around $1600 total! These used to be $1000 and will likely increase from here on out.

Dude you just sold me, with your help I will be purchasing this tent. I’ve been looking for one for about a year or two but you’re right, the price is phenomenal. Keep up the good work I’ll ping you if I need help on installation. Thanks bud Mahalo.🤙🏼

Awesome! Apparently on the listing questions, there was an issue with another person selling the tent saying daneoverlanding is a fake account? I purchased it from GEWUU instead of daneoverlanding (so I hope they’re the same exact tent). There’s an option to choose which seller to buy from but Amazon’s going to protect your purchase regardless. Hope everything works out brotha!

I've had mine since March and a dozen nights camping. Solid product, no issues at all. So easy to set-up and take down, done easily by one person. Great service from factory.

I got this exact same tent a few weeks ago and I have absolutely loved it so far! I have a Yakima roof box on top of the crossbars on the tent with some other things in there as well as a Mountain bike on those crossbars as well. So far it has been an amazing purchase

@johnscontent Жыл бұрын

Sweet! Might try and add a box on there as well. RTTs are a bit spendy, but man this tent is so worth it comparatively!

@joekeays 9 ай бұрын

That is awesome and I was wondering if you hold back on the weight of the roof box? If possible, can you post a photo of the roof box on top of the tent? Thanks

Shouldn’t be too bad. Front runner racks have a lot more room to reach the brackets. Also, you can use the sunroof as well to get the front brackets on if you have one.

I have a similar style rack on my Bronco and I have been looking for mounting options. The Front Runner style rack in particular, there is a quick release option that functions a riser, raising the height of the tent to give clearance between the rack and the tent. This is an interesting option and similar (non quick release risers) that are available in 1” or 2” heights seem like additional options to make mounting the tent easier. Thanks for the content. 🙏🏼✌🏼

Hey there... thanks for the great review. It was really thoughtful and helpful. Quick question: when raining while camping, how well did the inside of the tent stay dry? I don't see obvious rain protection but may have missed it (protection from the rain coming in the windows / waterproof surfaces)? thanks again.

@johnscontent 11 ай бұрын

Just went on a week long trip in Banff which was raining a handful of days. The awning material was more water resistant, but water will definitely cause the sidewalls to become wet. Could benefit from a waterproof treatment though. Dries quick, but wasn’t ideal for run and gun camping like we were doing.

I have a GFC on my Tacoma, but I used to have a 4Runner. Seems like a good tent, the cost makes it seem like a worthy investment. You mentioned that if you take care of it , it would last and treat the zippers gently.

GFC is by far superior but a little spendy for my taste, so I’m jealous of course!

The ladder comes inside the tent, and stores easily without an issue inside of it. It’s a tight squeeze but I’m able to leave my unrolled sleeping bags + ladder up there.

Thank you for the video. Read the comment on mounting your awning with Ironman mounts. I have the prinsu mount which sticks up about an inch. Curious how thick this tents mounting rails are and whether they will clear my prinsu mounts? Also have a 4Runner and will need this tent to overhang Prinsu rack by a couple of inches.

@mitchcaldwell5775 8 ай бұрын

Awesome review. I'm interested to know how it does in the rain. Additionally, do you have an IG? Would like to see more angles of it on the 4R/how far it sticks over the sides of the rack. Thanks!

@paulmercado328 11 ай бұрын

we purchased this from Amazon after watching it. unfortunately, we got scammed. glad Amazon was able to return our money back. we ended up buying the same tent but different brand in Canada and it was 200 dollar more. I must say. they are pretty well built.

Sorry to hear that man.. the original seller said their listing got hijacked in their question section. I just linked the same tent from a different seller now. They are definitely well built.

It has a mesh window, and another window to cover the mesh. As far as an awning, this one only covers the large opening towards the back of the vehicle.

Hey man! I have this same roof top tent and love it so far ! You’re one of the reasons I got it . I just installed yesterday which took forever but got it done with a buddy. Do you know if it’s normal that I can hear some rattling when going over small bumps?? Almost as if the shocks are making noise on the roof top tent itself

I have an alphafoxtrot rack (similar to prinsu) and it’s discontinued. I have 275s, and a 2.75 lift. It is right under 84 inches with the included crossbars. I know this because I brushed against a parking garage ceiling 😭 I think you should be good but very tight without crossbars.

This is a super great deal. Let me tell you why. It looks like it's made by the same manufacturer that the other big name companies slap their name plates on - e.g., Roofnest. This one in particular looks almost exactly like a Roofnest Falcon, which I own and which cost me way more than this. Not long after I got my Roofnest Falcon (which was shipped to me in a wooden crate from China) I quickly realized that many of these companies must be contracting with the same Chinese manufacturer. I'm not saying that there are any quality issues - mine was fine. I'm just saying that you should look around and keep your eyes open for deals like this one which is being sold under a lesser known name...

It was difficult with a low profile prinsu-style rack like mine. I took off two cross bars on my rack, measured the distance between the two, and installed the tent onto the removed cross bars. After that, install the tent/crossbars onto the rack.
