Great video. I really appreciate the fact that your working out of a shed and on a trailer. I've built a lot of stuff and keep pondering a roof top tent. Great job on the build and video!

As long as you get all the details in it really doesnt matter how long the videos are. Great start. Looking foward to the rest of them.

Thanks for taking the time to make a video with the steps shown in enough detail to be able to confidently build my own.

Man, you are an inspiration! I had no idea you could build one of these for yourself, but you have proved it can be done, and more than once. You are a true craftsman. Outstanding job, thank you.

This is really great. I wished you had done this about two years ago so I could have avoided an expensive and potentially dangerous RTT that I ended up scrapping. Now I can see a better way to do it. Thanks!

When we remodeled our house, I was always loosing my tape measure. I literally laughed out loud when you said "where is it?" I knew before the camera found it. I knew.

Great video you have taken all the guess work out of building one for me .Great trick rounding the corners gives it that professional look and the tip of the extra 3/4 inch to fasten the tent great idea be spending hours trying to think of that.Your videos are very informative and leave me wanting to see more .I'm building one in the spring and you got my imagination and creative mind thinking.Looking forward to more. Thanks Dale

Off to an awesome start with great detail. Cheers, Patrick

The content is perfect, and so that means the video size is also perfect! Keep 'em coming! Thanks for doing these!

Great job. I look forward to seeing more of your build.

Thank you for the most informative video I’ve seen.

Gonna build this spring. You inspired me.

Great video, as long as they will be full of content and detail as this one, it wont matter how long they will be, I didn t feel bored, I even watched it twice so thnx a lot

Great job. I look forward to seeing more.

Thank you Patrick, following closely from spain!

How have I not seen your videos? You are a rare talent! I’m so impressed! I hope you also do another fold out version larger and more custom than the target tent. But I did love the low budget way you did it! Bravo!

Your video editing is magnificent.

Great series. I’ve been wanting to build my own roof top tent for my Jeep Commander and have been putting if off because I had no information or direction until now. Great job and thanks!

I like watching this so much, I (sommer) feel like building a rooftop tent for myself!

I love the candor in your videos. I got a real chuckle out of the "Where is it?" while looking for the tape measure, I always have two or three tape measures on a project because of this. Keep up the great work.

Genial, I never thought this before. It is simple and much easier to do. Tks man

Hey, I have a question! For videos like this would you rather see shorter videos (8-15 min.) or longer (25-45 min)? I don't personally mind long videos. I am just curious as to what you guys think! Any feedback is much appreciated!

This is great! Really enjoying your videos. Now want to start my own project.

Just started following you Patrick and I’m well impressed! Very much looking forward to seeing the full build out and planning one myself having sold a self build teardrop this year. The episodes are great so far and the detail and content just about spot on... the length of the video is determined by the job to some extent as the base is one, the roof another and so on. Personally I have no problem with the length which could well be variable but aim for a maximum of 30mins for impact. Cheers ;-)

When the videos are this well filmed and informative I will watch until the end how ever long. New sub here

Awesome! Great job!

Thanks for the video. looking forward to the next step. PS, The tape measure you are using would be as rare as rocking horse poo, here in Australia. At least ours has both inches and metric. If you go to a hardware store, the timber is sold in metric size, but go to a lumber yard, it's in imperial. Funny that.

Nice work!

The length is perfect for this step, you may need a bit longer for other steps but I recommend you stay under 30 min per video. Great job and thanks for the effort. Look forward to the others.

Awesome! Ty!

Ty for this series of videos. .. I've been thinking about doing this...we have a jeep liberty and between 300 and 700 lbs. That will be sleeping there. I'm not sure how to figure out if the roof will hold that much. Next series you should do a tear drop trailer. ..

Very cool build man. I just stumbled onto the show. I can't wait for the rest of the videos. Keep them coming. Have you ever thought of building a teardrop trailer or something like that? I would be interested in seeing how you would build it. Thanks.

Very good! 🇧🇷🇧🇷

so cool

I'm following along. I recently bought a 91 Jeep Cherokee Limited. My son and I are going to build this. We live in Peru so some things might be challenging to purchase here. Thanks!

Thank you for the information, it is proving very useful as I am building a lightweight trailer for towing behind a recumbent trike. After you have rounded the corners, is it advisable to replace the screws you removed?

Subscribed! Build your ikamper skycamp version please!

You Are Master:) Friend;)

When glueing it’s better just squirt the glue on and clamp or screw instead of spreading the glue out thin. It has way less of a bond when spread this because the faces of the lumber never perfectly meet

Hey Mr. Remington, I am planning to build the original rectangular style you did, not the clamshell, but im learning from this base and top piece to do it. I am wondering if I should be doing to step up all the way around? as this clamshell you dont have the step up on the rear for the hinge. thank you!!! I cant wait to start building this winter, you are a huge confidence booster and inspiration.

No fiberglass? Just wondering if that is needed?

I bought my tent but custome build the rack. (First oveand project) I call it the Ruckus Rack.

I'm also currently building my own roof tent, and your going to laugh at my material.... for my base and roof I'm useing two clasping plastic tables with the foldable legs lol it was easy to mount it to my suv and to get the top working but now I dont know how I'm going to attach the tent fabric

How thick is your plywood base?

Hey Patrick....freaking awesome bro....so I just started my build and got a few questions ....1...in place of glue with screws can I instead use gg heavy duty construction adhesive (still using boat central epoxy/resins like recommend)just talking about the connection of 1-4 to plywood ect....also is it possible to watertreat all wood prior to construction using OLYMPIC WATERGUARD STAIN and sealer? I am worried about adhesive grip after water treating so I figured I could use painters tape on all connectors so as not to change surface of wood where other substances will be used( epoxy resins/ect.....also where the hinge goes can I just use a single piece of lumber cut to size?thanks for all the help man amazing build best subscription on KZfaq keep up the great work bro

I would have taken all the screws out after glue sets and fill holes with glued doweling.

Built the base today :)

I looked through the comments, and listened to the video a couple of times now. Why did you use 1x4 for the sides as opposed to ripping down 1/2" ply to save some weight? I realize it wouldn't be a lot, but I would think it would help some?

I missed the bit about chopping 1/4” off the front pieces. Thought you mentioned just the sides. Should I take front off and redo, or will it be okay to take it off the 1x4” at the front?

3:35

Do you have to remove the screws after the glue sets?!?

with these rip-off Overland prices... thats the way to GO!

Hola cuáles son las medidas de la base ?gracias

Hola y cuanto mide de largo y ancho?
