Real good concept. Ive had one for years, paid for itself many times over compared to motels when travelling. Pack it up wet in the morning if so, then open up at a roadside stop to air and dry while having your smoko or lunch. Made a tub rack to suit the ute....low profile and easier access. Permanent fixture.....All good..

I found your video very informative and down to earth, you considered many factors in your explanation that help me out. Well Done.

Great review. Helped me decide to buy one. Used it for the first time and easily fits my wife and I and our 22 month old daughter that sleeps upside down and sideways. Needs a better mattress as I woke up and noticed my lower back and backside killing me as felt like I had sunk and was on the hard base. I only weigh 85kgs.

@11:00 answers my questions. I have a screwed back so use more layers currently in our forward fold (at least a self expanding under the main mattress). If I had this I'd be adding the kings self inflating under it and since I sleep hot likely under sheet, top sheet and dooner but it sounds like you're saying that'd be too thick to pull it down.

Жыл бұрын

It would be close. You may be able to compress the self inflating mattress down enough. This is why I changed to a hardshell rooftop tent. Now I have a 100mm mattress plus all my bedding & pillows in it all the time

Quick disconnected/ bolting down with a roof rack with or without cross bars. Could you construct a nonlive load (dead load only) support frame to leave the tent setup if you want to drive your vehicle somewhere without having to pack up the camp site?

Cheers for making this video it has cleared up a lot of questions and thoughts I've had on it, great to know that it handles fine in strong winds as that was my biggest concern if you could. I would be looking to use mine every day for when I start travelling, it would be a maximum of 1 month I'd say be my longest before doing a full on trip for months, in that time I'll be able to test everything out leading up to it. What's your thoughts on using the annex if you don't have a tall 4wd is it worth while getting it or just stick with the tent and get an awning?

@Campingdownunder

4 жыл бұрын

Glad to hear I could help 👍the annex is great but a bit annoying if you have to pack it up every day for travel & it takes up valuable space where as an awning takes up no space and is always easy to pack up. Just be aware awnings can't handle strong winds where as the annex is fine in strong winds as long as it's strapped down well. It just flaps around a lot lol. Not really the best for shorter 4wds but if you've got time before your trip I'd get it cut & trimmed to suit the height of your car & then you won't have any issues 👍

Would it b ok to mount to standard crossbar roof racks? Ok the tent is 57kg racks are normally 75-80kg rated that’s fine right but put 2 adults and a child on top would be a risk of damaging the racks as the total mass could be 250-300kgs?

The racks themselves can definitely handle the weight of having 2 adults in the rooftop tent. But if you are mounting it above the cabin of your car you need to check with your vehicle dealer to find out the maximum weight capacity of your roof. That's where most people have trouble

Height at the highest point ends up at 2.3 merers (ish) So if you need to get the ute into city carparks You may need to cut the back ladder racks down to get the right clearance I couldn't figure out the ladder & other stuff because I ran out of daylight So there's heaps of stuff I haven't even though to check out yet Other than a broken Zipper closer I'm going to give it a field test tomorrow to see how the ute handles the extra weight up there

I used the supplied elastic cords with the rooftop tent 👍

Hi first time setting it up, I’ve got an issue with not opening flat any ideas why. Thanks

Haha I've had the exact same thing happen to us aswell & I've never been able to work out why. I think it's because the black straps inside the rooftop tent that run right across it are too tight stopping it from fully opening. Both my straps have broken now & now it suddenly opens all the way & the rooftop tent still works fine lol. But also check that the rails where your canvas bag feeds into are interlocking correctly when you open it

I had the same issue. I just popped a ratchet strap from the 2 fixings on the bottom to my car and tightened them a little. I think it’s a common problem Scott.

Are the screens midge proof mate?

Yeah same screens that are in their swags. We try not to keep the lights on at night too much & don't get any bugs in there at all 👍

Does it fit on Kluger? Do I need any special roof for it??

@Campingdownunder

Klugers have factory roof racks so as long as you have the cross bars going across between the roof racks it will mount on. But I'd confirm first with your local Toyota dealer how much weight your car can handle on the roof. Both static weight (stationary) when you are parked & climb up into the rooftop tent and also how much weight while you are driving along. Remember on & off road have different weight ratings. As long as your roof can have the 60kgs of rooftop tent & 1 or 2 people inside it it will be fine. But always better to make sure it's safe first 👍

How do you close off the entrance once you are in the tent?

Is it also a mosquito net?

Just wondering how you mounted the tent without roof racks. Looking at doing something similar with our BT-50 service caddy.

How long you been using the tent for now? Any pros/cons after a while?

I've been using it for around 2 years and it gets used every weekend. For the price you won't beat it. We've had straps break which makes it harder to close but you have to expect that when it gets used as much as we use it. I'd definitely recommend buying one 👍

@@bradbaston7186 yeah the levelling issue is something common with them. The strap that runs right through the inside is too tight not allowing it to fold flat. But hasn't really been an issue with us it doesn't effect its use
