I have seen a LOT of moto camping videos. Yours is the first that I have seen that is more my style than anyone else. One guy on his bike with this gear!!! Its not that I do not like people but I get on my bike and head to the woods for some solitude and peace so I can recharge and deal with my day to day. Let my check out some of your other videos but I am 80% sure that I will be subscribing.

Thank you for your video.👍 Tomorro day and night i will be riding the motorcycle. Almost 32 hours with a few stops. And the next night have to set up this tent. So a bit explanation is always good. So i atleast have an idea how to start setting it up. Sadly to be honest the tent is way to heavy for carrying with the motorcycle. Also a bit to bulky. But once it is standing it gives you a tremendous comfort. Better then any other tent out there. I have the solo tent. And it isby far big enough for one person. What i like is that when raining you can sit in the garage. And also on the side of your bed is enough space to lay some gear. The tent has to be steaked out very good because it is a windcatcher. In Sweden when i came back the whole tent was gone. The open side was faced towards a lake. Probably suddenly some wind catched it. Had only a few steakes in the ground. It did atleast 500 meters. Not one Sweed had tried to catch it. Strange people. 😁 My phone, Exped bed and sleepingbag were still in it. Left a scrape on the screen. Looking at it now.🤤 But i can tell you that it was extremely difficult to try to sort it out while everything was in it like the pole. Had not clue how to start unfolding the tent again. But after a while i manged to do so. Although it did not stand as good as the first time setting it up. I was planning to go to Bulgaria with the bike and a hammock. But the weather is so hot that it is no fun riding. Even a bit dangerous to be honest riding in such heat. When you have to wait somewhere in traffic. So changed plans and go to Sweden again. This time with a big knife. So to cut a lot of guylines.😅😅 Revenge.🙈 What i find interesting is that almost noone seem to park their bike in that garage. Almost everyone use it as a living space. So it could have been a bit smaller. If it would be half the size it still (for me) would have been large enough. But i would have saved weight and packing size. I have to say that i do find it to big and to heavy. I like to have as less weight as possible on the bike. Also like to do a bit offroad. In their next model i would like to see half the garage size and a way to split the tent in two while packing. So maybe your could hold it better in the main bags or panniers. Also for the center of gravity. Especcially when you ride a lighter bike. This has a big impact on that. I think that everyone has to carry it in a dufflebag on top of the bike. Or maybe i once i am going to tdy a small tent like the Hubba from MSR and my tarp from the hammock to create a dry living space. With a tarp you can be creative you know. Not when there is a lot of wind. I do like to be able to sit dry in a chair. Have some Chinese knockof as you beautifully told. And for me it also does the job. I find it so important after a long day ride to be able to sit. And rest my back. Giving the old musculs some well deserved rest. Whenever you go to the Netherlands. Let it know. I live in the Dutch Venice at the countryside. More then enough space for people to set up their tent for a few days for free. And water is also not a problem. If more people should allow such things then going abroad on a trip will be a bit cheaper. Life is expensive enough.

Hi and thanks for not only watching, but leaving your comments and experiances. Agreed, it does need to be pinned down but having used it in high winds it does stand up to some serious weather. I've also used mine during some very heavy and prolonged rain, as you said I use the garage as a living space. As I ride solo, I always place the tent on the pillion seat, yes it is bulkier than some other tents, but if I'm away for any length of time, I'd prefer a larger more comfortable tent than something lighter and smaller that isn't as comfortable to 'live in'. After all, the bike's carrying it not me. Remember, the tent was designed to give a traveller a place to sleep, eat and live while keeping your bike out of sight if needed.

I came across this tent in my search for a tent with a larger vestibule that still packs down small - we go car camping with our Z3 and it has a tiny booth. I would like to be able to at least sit on camp chairs inside (with two people), and to be able to stand up would be even better! My backpacking tent has two entrances across from each other which I absolutely love, so that this tent has the 'back door' is a huge advantage in my book. On warm nights that cross ventilation makes all the difference. Thanks for your review! Going to measure how the packing size compares to our current tent (and for car camping weight is of course not a big issue). And then consider if it's worth the price :D

Hi, thanks for watching and also for yor comments. Like you if I'm using a car or motorcycle then weight isn't high on my priorities. However, I, like you, prefer to be able to stand up in the tent. As you may see in the video, I use the vestibule (which can hold a large adventure bike) as my 'day room'. I use it for cooking and also hang laundry/wet clothing in, while I've still got the sleeping area which remains a clean and dry area. I've had my tent for over 10 yrs and its still going strong, yes, it's not cheap but I do believe it's worth the cost. I think if you did buy one, you'll be happy with it.

Great review! I’m looking at purchasing one of these for the benefits of having the canopy, and outdoor space in weather, as well as the large doors making for ease of getting in and out.

Hi BigO, thanks for watching and your comment. There are times when a larger tent makes poor weather conditions far more bareable. I've used this tent in some terrible weather and it has certainly helped my to dry wet biking kit inside the vestibule as well as being a place to eat and relax during the evening. Having the large doors also gives the ability to sit 'outside' yet still protected from the weather.

@@robchisholm72 I agree, this would be much more enjoyable if a guy had to hunker down for an extended period, so much more comfortable. No need to set up a separate tarp or anything. My MSR is a great tent and I will likely hang onto it in case I want or need to pack a bit lighter at times, this one will take up quite a bit more room lol but it will be absolutely worth it

I have this tent ⛺️ Used the shit of it. Love it ! It's definitely big, but it's EASY ! Far easier than a small tent. 3 poles. 2 are the same. Easy to see witch end the smaller pole goes. And the pole pockets only at the top. The only disadvantage: not free standing. So you can't shake it out. But I have just undone one side loose and sake sand out that way..pack it up and your done.

@@karimabouzeid395 I wouldn't say it was 'poorly constructed' quite the opposite, considering I've had mine for over 10 yrs and used it frequently. However, @Andreas Meier may have had a bad experience and this might have left a bitter taste in his mouth. Honestly in my opinion, it's a great tent, a bit on the big side when packed down, maybe, but I'll take that for the comfort of being able to stand up in it anyday.

Definately sounds like this person has a gripe with Redverz, but hasn't backed up his view with facts. As I said in my video, yes it's a bit big when packed down, but you can 'hide' almost any bike inside it if need be. Personally the vestibule is my 'day room'. Yes it's not cheap, far from it, but, I can only say from my own experience of over 10 years ownership, it's the best tent I've ever bought. It's my home when I'm marshalling at the Isle of Man TT for two + weeks and even an overnight in foul weather is ok. If you do buy one, I'd be interested to hear your views on it.
