You beauty! Good luck with your install 👌🏻

Thank you for this video mate, I'm about to buy that tent with the 50% off as well for my pathfinder and your video helps a lot for the installation! Definitely make some kind of review after you've got experience with it as to the quality of the tent. Keep it up!

Thanks mate!

I noticed you bolted the roof rack mounts with rubber washers which is good just don't forget to add a good amount of thread lock glue to those bolts to prevent water leaking into the cabin. cheers!

Thanks for the tip! ill make sure to do that!

I reckon it should be possible to mount the tent straight to the roof rails, as it would sit neatly on the rails, would just have to sort out some brackets.

Hi, I was wondering what you ended up doing to cover the sides of the roof racks so water didn't get through the racks? I have the same problem, with needing to take the black cap off. Great video! Super helpful and clear instructions, tiz a skill! Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Looking at one of these set up at the moment... btw.. ash should do the filming in future lol

Thanks sounds good! Yeah I agree haha will try and get her to do it when we can!

Put a nylock nut and thread locker please, just trying to help.

It looks quite slim

Any chance you could provide a link to your roof bars as I have the same prado as you?

What’s your thoughts on the tent since this first video

Hi there.. I am thinking about buying the same tent but atm the only size they have is the 140. Do you think the 140 will be hanging over the sides too much? I got the same 120 series Prado as you.

Pretty sure that bar that was to far forward you can just unbolt and move it back in-line with the other support bar

I bought a Prado with tent already installed, but want to take it off until we need it. How heavy is the tent? Any tips for getting it up and down or just brute force?

Hey mate me again, I'm in the process of installing mine as well and in the installation pack that comes with it I have the M8 Hexagon bolts to go with the U shape stators and seem pretty straightforward, but I also have 4x "M6 T shape slider blocks" with 4x "M6 hexagon head cap screw" and I have no idea what I should be doing with them. The instructions aren't very clear. Did you figure it out? I'm scratching my head real hard lol

Hey mate! There should be 2 bolts with thread per U shaped saddle that you need insert and slide down the track that is mounted to the tent to then attach through the straddle that goes around your roof rack that then screws on with plastic capped screws if that makes sense! The track on the tent has some provisions for the threaded bolts to slide into so that they can be moved along to where you need them to!

Thanks for sharing, thought those roof racks meant to carry 70kg as max weight- how did you go with the tent in 2 people?

@wanderingofftrack1386

3 жыл бұрын

Nope they have a dynamic rating of 100kg (the tent is around 45-50kgs) dynamic meaning whilst moving and driving. The actual weight they can carry when static (e.g whilst not driving and parked at camp) is over 220kgs. This is where people get confused with load ratings, often the rating is for whilst moving!

There is a big difference between dynamic weight limit and static weight limit. Otherwise, NO car would be able to have a roof top tent

So many people get it wrong with the roof load rating whilst the car is in motion and when it is parked.

Hi how is that bracket with the two holes in it from the u bracket holding up? looking at the thinkness of the streel it does not look very strong.

The brackets held up perfectly for us, didn’t have any issues

What’s the wind noise like going 80km+?

Hello!! What size did you guys go for. My partner and I are debating if we get the 120cm or 140cm. I think both would be fine. My only worry with the 140cm is that it would be to wide for the roof racks? Thanks!!

Hey sorry for the late reply! We find the 120 plenty big enough and is significantly slimmer then the 140. Would have less overhang etc

Super great question and brilliant reply. I'm FINALLY convinced to get the 120. For $750 (July '23) its such a bargain, it just can't be overlooked! Thanks for posting and commenting 👍

I have a 2005 Grande and just bought the 1400 for $849, great price. I converted my old 90 series Prado into a sealed offroad trailer by chopping it in front of the B pillar and enclosing the front. The roof top tent will be permanently mounted on top of the Prado trailer with the opening on the passenger side. The 120 has an Anaconda 270 deg awning on the passenger side as well.

How is it supported underneath mate? Is it flat? Just not sure if I should get racks or a flat tray

@wanderingofftrack1386

The base is flat and has two supporting beams to mount it to, we just used two pro rack heavy duty cross bars. Super easy to mount to and a lot less weight then buying a flat rack. Not much point to a flat rack either when the rooftop tent takes up the length and width of the roof!

G’day, what’s the height of ur tent once it’s closed and packed? Many thanks!

@wanderingofftrack1386

Hi there, the height of the tent packed up at its highest point is around 22-23cm, which is quite low for a RTT. Obviously the height added to your vehicle is dependent on the roof racks you get but I was pleasantly surprised on its low profile!

Hey does ur tent just automatically go up or do you need to pull the long strap?? For some reason my one doesn’t go up by itself?

@wanderingofftrack1386

3 жыл бұрын

Yes you just unhook the strap at the bottom and let it go up, you don’t pull on the strap, pull on the strap is only for folding it back down

Hey mate! Do you park ur car outside, if so is the cover fully waterproof? Has the cover faded from the sun? I’m considering getting a waterproof and anti fade spray.

Hey mate I park undercover so can’t comment on the fading, it’s definitely waterproof tho but putting that added protection on to stop potential fading is probably not a bad idea!

Going amazing so far! Have used it for quite a few weekends away now and it’s so simple and easy to setup and pack down! Makes camping really easy and enjoyable! Have nothing but good things to say about it so far! The only thing I would note is that the mattress is more on the firm side so we have added a mattress topper to help and now it’s perfect for us!
