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.

Here is the company

Here is a page of tents

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.

 

thats not bad, i want one for my trailer

 

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.

 

BEAT ME TO 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

mine is the M-416

 

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.

 

These RTT from Turkey. They are good materials for holiday.What think about it ?

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.
