I like the crankup roof top tent Wayne has on his FJ Cruiser, and here is one I saw in an ad yesternight in the summer issue of Overland Journal.

I had to PM Chris to get the name of the company, as I do not have my magazine here at work.

What intrigued me was the roof top tent was on an FJ Cruiser with the stock rack.

At that price I will be doing it the old way for quite some time.

That is still way less than the one Wayne has, his goes for $2.2K.
I would have trouble at my old age (dang, I am getting old) hefting his type on/off the rack, plus you have to get Yakima crossbars for his type.



I have several tents now ranging from a one/two person backpacking tent, to a huge hotel type that can sleep 10.
I hate setting up tents though, one reason I like the rooftop ones they are easy to setup.
Also have thought about this unit.

Not much room in it though.

It is similar to the one that Strap22 and trdparts4u have.

Phil, I miss your old rig.



Jacque's setup.



I would not mind doing a trailer setup like you are building, but it would get vandalized where I am currently at.

Corey,


We sell these tents as well as the ARB tent...

I have one of the Expedition Model RTT one my trailer and I am very happy with it.

There are a few other people on here that have one. I think xcmountain80 has one. I wouldn't mind it, if it wasn't so expensive.

Thanks, I am seriously going to think about this.
I will contact the company and find out what all is involved in setting it up on the stock roof rack.

X 2 PLUS ITS NOT SUCH A LONG FALL IF YOU GET UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO RELEAVE YOURSELF.

sdstud212001

you mean a tent that expensive doesnt come with a urinal?


I really like that trailer set-up. If I ever got one I think I would want/have to build it myself.

OSU4Runner

Yea...I like the trailer set up too. I don't know about the roof, I would probably bust my a$$ in the middle of the night.

Very nice.
After I move I will more than likely get one one of those.

I was not a fan of the roof top tents at first, but I think they would be great for a spur of the moment trip to camp out in the mountains.
If I get one later, I may even go up for a night in the winter up where I go wheeling.

Hijack:
Where can I buy one of those?

i found mine on craigslist, $500 and was in great shape

Seems like a lot of weight way above the COG ... Would be nice to sleep on a nice flat floor, not the rocky ground though ...

I would not have mine on the roof when wheeling, it would only be up there for a camping trip where I am going to stay parked for the day(s) next to a nice cold creek.

This Car Top Tent perfect for winter camping and high places. İt has central heating system under mattress. I was sleep in comfortably and warmly. No risk about carbon monocside, because heater work outside the tent.
