I actually have this on top of my list because it fits better on my mid height Brute Force bed cage. Unlike the other hardshell pop up design they have, the base of this one is not too long that it's sticking far out the rear end of my short bed Tacoma. And I don't want to have to use an adapter to raise the RTT just so it clears the roof of my truck. Thanks for the review! 👍

Nice. I own Nature Nest clam shell and prefer it for quick set-up. Let's get real.... for me, roof tents are, at best, a place to crawl into and sleep. Not recreate within! The quicker the set-up/take-down, the better! I got mine so that 1 or 2 people could spend the night in on weekend adventures. Keeping in mind the ridiculous price of motels these days! Let alone room availability! So less is more.😊

The concept of these roof top tents are cool, my concern is when it is mounted “high’ on a vehicle the difficulty of tear down and tucking in the material and not ripping it. We had a Northstar pop top TC , one thing I loved about tear down was the maxi fan sucking the canvas in for closure. Wish they’d come up with something like that.

I was looking at this version or the wedge style w window overhangs. I ended up with the wedge but wished I'd gotten this model. The wedge is heavy and eats up all of my roof rack , Prinsu on a 2023 4runner. Had I gotten this model I would have saved some space to mount other items on the roof. All in all, I do like the Naturnest. It seems a better build than a RoofNest I was I'm a couple of years ago.

My camp crew is 2 average adults and a 3 year old so I am looking to maximize sleeping area. This tent actually looks narrower (compared to clamshell version) on the interior because of the internal support frame. Any advice you could share if you were between the two models?
