I’ve had this tent for over a year. I love it. No issue! Great video Rib! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

@RevereOverland 3 ай бұрын

That’s awesome! The one thing I couldn’t test was long term durability, so it’s good to hear it’s solid.

So cool of you to give this to your friend…good on you! 😊

So glad that you took the mattress out and put in your own bedding, this is the review I was waiting to see on this tent. So many of the other reviews were good and very detailed but didn't do that. One simple thing. Thing. And for me no mattress that comes in a rooftop tent or is only 2 in thick is ever going to work. I use the REI version of the exped and it's amazing

It's one of the most important things for me too!

Great review. I love the price of it. We are literally just getting into Overlanding. Just bought our winch and bumper. With everything being so expensive, this is great.

@snowsolo Ай бұрын

@@RaptorPackAdventures same here, me and wife are looking for decent equip to put on our new Nissan Frontier pro4x. Seeing we only overland 3x a year...durability shouldn't be a huge issue.

This is a great tent. My daughter has one on her 4runner and she loves it. It has more room than my RoofNest.

@RevereOverland 3 ай бұрын

Yeah it is. It appears very similar to the much more expensive Roof Nest

My Darche Ridgeback RTT looks exactly the same (even the colour & ladder are the same). Will not be surprised if they were made from the same factory. Though I wish the Darche cost the same as that (mine cost AUD$3,900 - on special!). I got this RTT due to the feature of the rear wall extending out. It's amazing how much more room this feature gives inside. I've had mine for 2 years now, and I recommend keeping an eye on the waterproofing tape along the seams. Mine have started to peel off the canvas. I did find the mattress firm, so I got myself a mattress topper which improved its comfort. Adding the mattress topper, sheets, and a thick Coleman Big Game -6c sleeping bag, there is no room for pillows (It will fit if I really forced it, but I don't want the mattress getting squished too much). That is extremely generous of you. 👍👌

They definitely look similar. It’s the same style as the Ironman and Roofnest too, although there are some subtle differences.

@brad5095 Ай бұрын

I just bought this tent (with your code) because of your video. Doing a ton of research on all rtt as I’m on my 3rd. Thank you for putting extra bedding inside to see if it still closes. But When you put it on on roof can you still get it closed with larger mattress and bedding? Leverage will be a little different. Also how many total inches with bedding and bed can it fit?

@leemen 3 ай бұрын

I know you need to lock your tent in the Pacific Northwest so squatters don’t get in there while your driving thru the cities. Lol. Crazy bang for the buck on that tent! I’ll check out that mattress right now.

Lol! The Hest mattress is amazing.

Nicely done with giving Clay that RTT, Rob! It couldn't have gone to a better person as you full well know. That is my Wife's silver 200 series. Clay was getting ready for the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway Ride. Looks like an awesome option for the price point! The way you reviewed it on top of the crate it came in was genius! I got to see it in a different, and better angle. Well done Rob! Best real-world reviews on KZfaq! Also if you need any type of adventure vehicle or 4x4 related work, look no further than Commonwealth 4x4! Amazing work and worth the journey from wherever you are. Ask me how I know!

What is the bed rack? I just got my tent and I'm still waffling on what bed rack to get for my 6' bed on my 2016 colorado. Fits like a glove on that truck in the video!

@oliver5911 3 ай бұрын

I've had this tent with the stock mattress out on one outing so far, and I would honestly say that the3 mattress is my only complaint. Other than the $500 Hest, are there any less expensive mattress upgrades that come in the same size that you would recommend? I simply don't go out often enough to justify the Hest (yet), but definitely need something better than the 1.5"-2" thing this tent shipped with. Any pointers would be much appreciated! Maybe the Exped MegaMat?

@RevereOverland 3 ай бұрын

I think the Exped would be a good choice. You might be able to join some AluCab groups and get one that someone has taken out. It’s a pretty good mattress!

@davidcooper3957 23 күн бұрын

We ordered ours in June for a end of month Aug trip, placed the order paid for it and have reached out to the company several times with no response maybe only 2 people work for the company and can’t respond but time is ticking and we have travel arrangements that may or may not be canceled IDK

@RevereOverland 23 күн бұрын

Their website says they’re in stock. I’d hope that means yours has been shipped. Try sending a message from a different email address; they claim to respond within 24 hours, so maybe you’re getting caught in a spam filter?

Hey I’m looking at buying one in Alaska. During the summers it doesn’t get very dark. I was curious on if it gets dark when everything is closed up? Is it close to blackout?

@RevereOverland 6 күн бұрын

It's pretty dark in there, although because I gave it away I haven't spent any nights in it.

The Hest mattress is the really good one. I put my old AluCab mattress in for Clay.

When putting a tent on a truck with a roof rack. It’s better to turn the tent the other way around. That gives you a a nice platform to enter and no obstruction from an awning or climbing over a fully loaded tailgate

@RevereOverland 3 ай бұрын

You can put the ladder on either side of this, but I would rather just climb up on the tailgate and leave the ladder at home.

@CraigG21 3 ай бұрын

Looking at the hard shell (top) side opening RTT’s that would fit in the short bed of a midsize truck and open to the side. Any suggestions based on your experiences?

@RevereOverland 3 ай бұрын

I’m a huge fan of the iKamper series tents. The mini is a great fit for short truck beds.

How do you think this tent would do in winter or snow ❄️ (with heat 🔥)?

@RevereOverland 3 ай бұрын

I think it would be fine with heat. For more serious 4 season camping I'd start looking at the more expensive ones. The iKamper BDV Duo has canvas, which is breathable, and would be much more appropriate for cold weather.

@RevereOverland 3 ай бұрын

I only know of me and Matt (Ozark Overland), and that's because they asked us both to wait until mid May to publish. They were hoping to have them back in stock for the video release, but they're so popular that they keep on selling their pre-orders!
