I have had the Smittybilt XL tent for 2 years (78 nights camping) and the small version like yours for 2 years prior. They have both been very well built IMO and survived numerous hard thunderstorms in Colorado, Utah, Big Bend, New Mexico and the Texas coast. One trick to any roof top tent IMO is to get an air mattress. For the small Smittybilt, I used a full-size. For the XL, I use a queen size air mattress. A Ryobi 18v compressor inflates it in just 2 minutes. Best part is that since the air mattress takes up MUCH less room when deflated, you gain a TON of additional storage when the tent is closed (prior to putting on the travel cover. I can actually store 2 small duffels and a few other items in the space the foam mattress used to occupy. You just fold the tent closed and the the one side (between the hinges) will be wide open to load up stuff. Once loaded, put the cover on and roll.

I keep on coming back to this video because it reinvigorated my desire for camping. Pre-eighteen, my family and I used to go camping like 8-10 times a year, but as you get more experience, you start upgrading more. We went from a tent, to tent trailer, to trailer, to RV, and once you start getting up there it feels less-and-less like camping and more like a hassle because of all the preparation. Roof-top tents really feel like a great mix between tent camping with modern amenities to make it easier.

@justicedemocrat9357

That's so hot bro did you ever catch your parents banging in their tent?

Regarding camping in winter, someone else might have already answered, but the low tent seems to be more apt for it. Number one priority in winter camping is sufficient ventilation, to avoid condensation, that will get your sleeping bag humid, and thus, ineffective to keep you warm. Second most important thing is to have enough support in case it snows during the night. Snow doesn't drip down the roof, and it's heavy. We had a surprise snowfall during the night on mother's day weekend.... one of the tents collapsed... that's how the occupants woke up 😬

Great video guys. We have low team $900 tent. Same ladder. 3 weeks ago we were camping in the Victorian high country (Australia). Around midnight the wife got up to go to the bathroom. She couldn't find the ladder, turned around and slipped from the very top. Broke both wrists and faceplanted, leaving gravel embedded in her face, a huge lump and needing stitches in various places. 4 hr drive out to a hospital. (Needless to say it could have even worse) Those ladders are DANGEROUS! We will likely get rid of our tent now, but I would definitely recommend grip tape on the rungs (and maybe a fall mat!)

So with Tacomas (all models), the mounts for the bumper bolt into where the crash bar was. These are very thin plates since it was only ever designed and engineered to absorb impact, not the opposite and pull other vehicles up mountains, hills, and out of ditches. A common upgrade for anyone who actually uses their winch or recovery points on plate bumpers is to cut the original mount off, and replace it with fabricated brackets from thicker plate steel and fillet weld them to the frame. Another popular and sturdy option is a BAMF Front bumper reinforcement brackets from 2005-current models.

@@styledliving that is pretty common among first gen owners, but when the bumper is installed correctly it isn’t necessary. After they initially received slew of complaints about it, ARB added mounting hardware into the kit for the bumper brackets to be essentially pinned in place through the frame with a 3/8” gr. 5 bolt and a sleeve. One of the guys at the 4x4 shop I buy parts from actually worked at ARB when they figured this out. This got rid of the issue but the ARB instructions are so poor that most people don’t do it when they install. I honestly wouldn’t have known to do it if I hadn’t heard it from the guys at the shop. My guess is that they didn’t do this when they installed the bumper, which then put all the strain from the winch on the, frankly flimsy, frame endcaps.

I love how the mounting was a draw, like there's literally no contesting the fact that the Smittybilt is better in that regard. It's also interesting that the ikamper won the setup contest even though the Smittybilt took a minute longer but is ready to sleep in when you're done with it, whereas with the ikamper you still have to go get all your shit that you're going to put inside of it.

I own a "iKamper 1.0" and can say that the mounting should be a draw. It really is luck of the draw when it comes to install. I know mine can literally be taken on or off in less than 2 min. With the use of a cordless drill driver. As far as being able to store your bedding under the shell, it has to be done in an exact way or it won't close but it does hold it. Biggest reason I switched to an I camper was the shell blocks the wind when set up right and I was able to comfortably sleep my wife and I and our two kids (4 and 5 y/o). It makes the overlanding experience fun because your only spending 10 - 20 min breaking camp in the morning so you can move to the next area and it keeps everything relatively clean. Breaking camp with a tent on the ground can get pretty dirty in my experience.

Anytime you make a product that is one-size-fits-all, it's not going to be as good in some places as a specific product like the ikamper, but will also be better in others. Of course this is a sample set of one, and everyone's experience will be different, but there's just something dishonest about them literally showing that the Smittybilt is easier to mount and setup, but then saying the ikamper is....

The really nice jacket sentiment at 4:52 really resonates. Now that I've been working for a while and buying myself nicer things for a change, I feel like my opinion on buying expensive things has changed a lot. Biggest thing so far is I went from a 2010 Mazda 3 with 100k+ miles to a 2020 ND2 RF and, my god, I actually enjoy driving to work now lol. I even bought myself something other than a 10$ digital watch (me from even 2019 wouldn't believe it). Anyway this series is awesome! Keep up the good work frens

I have been thinking of getting a roof top tent for a while now. My biggest thing was either hardshell or soft. From this, I didn't even think about the hardshell side not having a window, which isn't a huge thing but definitely not ideal. It would also be great to have the bed set up in there all the time, which the hardshell can not. I also didn't quite think of the truck bed accessibility but not much you can do about that except putting in drawers. Great video though for sure

totally agree dude. These guys remind me a lot of the old top gear crew. They are genuinely funny. They aren't forcing the jokes. And when they are forcing the jokes, that's part of the Joke. Glad to have these guys helping me wean off of the old top gear trio as they barely do anything new now a days. Which is understandable considering their age as well.

Everyone being so nice to Nolan after being a minute slower on the setup was so wholesome. Making sure the bro doesn’t feel bad, that’s real friendship. James was even like “there’s not a lot of oxygen up here too” 😂🥺❤️

Yeah when he commented on the oxygen level I got the bromance tingles

I kinda want the teams to swap if you guys do a next season. Would love to see Nolan get to work on Hi-Car :)

Both are nice and keep you off of the ground which is great when the weather takes a turn for the worse you can just keep sleeping. As an older dude I prefer my Palomino slide in pop up truck camper. It takes 5 minutes to set up not rushing and 10 to break down no hurry. Yes its pricey but at 4 in the morning when nature calls, it has a bathroom with toilet and shower. The 2500 HD Silverado diesel that I put it on gets the same mileage as my FJ would get with a rooftop tent so.......... Great video guys. Keep them coming.

This is one of my favorite series ever on KZread. All Donut’s teams personally it’s awesome

So sad that this season is ending. What a great show! Keep it up guys!

Yep I have a ALU CAB rooftop tent and it is brilliant it is built to last a lifetime I have had it 12 months now and it has stood up to the harsh conditions I have been camping

Of course I saw this the day after my tough decision between smittybilt vs. Ikamper but I think you guys just made me happy with my smittybilt choice thanks guys!

Buy a 900 dollar roof rack tent "put it on the ground." Pretty compelling argument to just get a nice 200 dollar regular tent.

Yeah just a fold up ground tent would be nice. Maybe some wheels on one end. Pull it out of your truck roll it to a flat spot and have it unfold like low teams tent. When your done camping just fold it. Wheel it to the truck and slid it on top of the stuff in your bed. If the tent had straps on it with a ratchet that would be cool. Just hook it, rachet it down with your stuff under it and your good to go. Someone needs to make something like that

Love this episode in the series but regarding the “access of bed” you just have to plan your build around what you’re going to use it for and everything.

We have been using our smittybuilt RTT for 3 years. First Installed on our 2dr jeep jk then on our overland trailer. My wife and I are larger people. 200+ each and we have our two small dogs with us. The only complaint is the mattress. We have added an additional 3" to the thickness. For the price and features it is well worth the cost. We love it.

This channels development has been so satisfying. It’s like a mix of top gear and head to head.

I have owned an IKamper 2.0 for two years. I camp with my 3 boys and I am a tall dude at 6'6" so the room in the IKamper is what sold me on it. It is very warm in cold environments making a tent heater unnecessary. It also has the nice feature of the hard shell which means it has virtually no noise when driving it. If you are a tall person or have more than one other person sleeping with you I would go with the IKamper. The only issue I have had is the paint on the roof started to break down after 18 months and I had to spray LineX on the roof to protect it.
