We just got one of these and struggled for half an hour to fold it like you showed then I let the video run till your wife pointed out the logo position - so i did it that way and then it worked first time ! Always listen to the woman. Thanks.
Every thing I did wrong I re-watched your video to get corrected. Two things I would add. The rain fly in the latest version of the tent will help with water protections. The tent itself does leak at the seams without the rain fly. Also not in the bag is a tarp to lay underneath the tent. Tarps are rarely included with any tents...but are needed to help block water from seeping in from the bottom of the tent and protect from the Carsule from punctures from rock, roots, and limbs. Finally from experience, setting up a chair or table inside the tent will need something to protect chair legs from puncturing the bottom of the Carsule. Due to insects I've been using the Carsule standalone since it greatly blocks mosquitoe s with all 4 walls closed with netting left closed.

Ed is correct in saying that it needs a tarp underneath; otherwise known as a footprint. I wonder if the mystery "material" in the bag isn't supposed to serve as a footprint. Without one, pinhole leaks are likely to appear in the floor from rough surfaces on the ground; sticks and small rocks, etc.

Ed, we use linoleum floor scaps both inside and outside to protect our floors on the pop-up tents. They're also good at protecting inflatable beds. The store gave us a lot of scraps for free. We also bought some discontinued flooring because we wanted a giant sized piece for the picnic table and sitting area to protect people's feet. They really help a lot. Easy to transport and move around. Home Depot has giant zip ties that are great to keep them rolled tight and used for carrying handles. Last year we saw multiple people copying our idea outside their RV doors. Stake them so they don't curl or slide. In direct sun, they can get too hot for bare feet. Turn them over and the underneath is not colored. Barely noticeable.

Try gluing a plastic hook or some velcro to the interior back hatch of your car. This will let you have a barrier for the straps to engage with. It should keep it from sliding off. With the velcro I'd set it up as layers so that you can position the tent straps in between layers of velcro to also help keep it from sliding off. I think the plastic on the tailgate/hatch of your car is too slick for the straps to stay in place.

I want to comment on the wind but first, Great video, thank you for doing a one person set up/take down. I have had mine for nearly two years now, and I find the poles challenging, as well as folding it back up. It is NOT intuitive. I live in the Mojave desert, and set it up stand alone in my yard for six weeks in late summer, so I could sleep under the stars. It does fine in windy conditions! Maybe no 40 mph winds, but that would be asking a lot of any tent. As long as it is tied down, it is sturdy. When I can’t use tent pegs, I have 20 lb weights that I use, and they work great. In many the parts of the desert, tent stakes do not stay in the sandy ground by themselves! I use a peg, then put the weight on top. They supply a rolled up thing that is supposed to act as a prop in the center of the roof to make a peak for rain run off, but it doesn’t work very well. I am a single woman nearing 60, btw. The CORE instant tent is much easier to set up, but the straight sides on this one make it more practical and roomy.

Thank you for this very informative video! One thing you didn’t show was how the bottom of the carsule attaches to the bumper of the car. My suv is lifted with 35” tires so the bumper is 27” off the ground. How tall is the bottom section of the carsule that fits over the bumper? Is it a relatively tight fit so that bugs can’t get in and a cat can’t get out?
The extra stuff is most likely a rain fly for when it's raining and some patches too.

What about running that last hold-down strap back between your struts and the lift gate? As long as there's enough strap length, I'm thinking that might help keep it in place...
This may have already been suggested. If your hatch doors has an automatic close button, have you tried lowering the hatch just a little so that the straps would fit around it better?

The strap for the boot lid just pull the tent in more and get another strap on a head rest or something securing the trunk strap to actually hold the trunk

Even the two men helping me put it up complained. Just a suggestion use a bug net across the open tail gate inside You can attach Velcro or use magnets.
Try bring the straps backwards where the door is thinner and then doing them up

Thank you so much for the compliment! I haven't tried it, but I do think in theory you could sleep with the trunk closed while leaving the Carsule setup. The Carsule secures to the car with the magnets and the trunk strap. If you just did the magnets you should be able to close the trunk! You might just have to hop back outside once its closed and rearrange the magnets to make sure they are tight and secure. I hope that answers your questions!

Also a snr solo camper, and am looking to replace my standard tent, which is bulky & heavy to load and unload from the car. I have a different tailgate tent which doesn't come with magnets, so I bought some from a hardware store to hold it close in to the curves a) stop the wind from getting under & making in flap and b) close off insect gaps. I started with cheap ones for proof of concept , and now have some stronger rubberised ones (takes a good slide and flip technique to get them off!) so if you get this tent and find it doesn't fit close enough, it is easy to supplement with more magnets. Unfortunately my SUV tent is suitable for "good" weather only, so interested in people who have used this one in wind and rain ...

Can't promise it, but I think with the magnetic straps being adjustable it could!
Sorry to comment again but I am seriously considering buying this and using it as a stand alone since it meets most of my requirements. In the wind this would blow over even if it did not become unmoored from the ground unless it has places to attach guy lines higher up on the edges of the tent . Are there loops for guy lines that are higher up than the ones where you insert the stakes ? Also , can replacement tent poles be purchased ?

No worries! Happy to help:) So there aren't loops on the top for guy lines, usually it's the "hood" that connects to the trunk that helps to keep it stable. In our newest video when we camped in it it got a little windy at night but was perfectly stable. That being said, we haven't had it set up by itself in the wind without being attached to the car. In terms of replacement poles I think it'd be best to contact the company! Their Instagram is @hellomogics. We've talked with them a lot through that channel so they're very responsive and helpful. I hope this helps!

@kielia per the website diagram there should be guide write attachment points available but I haven't seen one in person
Is it a tent or just a shade ? I can’t see this being very waterproof if you have rain .
does water get into the tent when it rains?
How big is the floor space? Big enough for a cot & chair?
Hi! Was wondering if its possible to close the trunk while the tent is up? Thanks :)
