Fyi for the past seven months or so I have pulled up your content and have bought and started building my version yes you are a strong influence. and thanks very much for you desire to do video. so much more to say. but much gratitude.
Suggestion. I have a hard shell roof top tent and the addition of a 270 awning will give you the extra enclosure you miss when combined with the detachable panels that are available. My set up is a Fox Wing Eco 2.1 by Oztent. It too opens and closes in a matter of seconds. The combination of the hard shell and the awning system makes for a pretty complete and flexible system. I've been very pleased with this set up. Dutch
So nice to see more options for RTTs today that it was 6 to 7 years ago when I bought mine I bought a James Baroud grand rapid XXL model. If you're the type of sleeper who likes to keep your elbows out and not parallel to your sides, then the JB tent works great when you have a partner to sleep with. This size tent sticks out on the sides and covers the entire Rhino Rack platform but having two people sleep inside is butter for me. Mounting an awning was not a problem either. I have the Eezi Awn Bat Manta on my JKUR. The Roam tent appears to be a bit taller and also have the window shades to keep the sun out which are nice features. Although if you're in the market for a hardshell RTT, consider the JB. I love mine. The JB also has a solar powered fan at the roof which is near silent to vent out or bring in air which is great in the colder climates when the isothermic accessory is added. I used it at the Burning Man festival last year and never felt hot despite the blazing sun cooking the roof not to mention having corner mesh windows also to create an almost complete 360 window experience. The other design feature I like about the JB is that the roof is recessed towards the rear so I keep a pair of maxtraxs up there without sticking above grade as well as a camp table thatsits over the rear tire when being used. Still can't fit into most indoor garages due to the lift kit and all but hey....it's overland glamping. Now, if they can sell a shoe rack or something on the outside would be great. Still figuring that part out.
Folded up it looks a lot better than the other rooftop tents. Once it’s up I think it’s ugly. I like how fast and easy it goes up though. For the kind of camping you do ( overlanding) it’s worth it.
Love the content as always, but im a confirmed Fold out tent fan. I like the extra awning it gives you and I have the annex to create a separate room. Ill be using it a lot this year, as I work Security at large events such as music festivals, motor racing events etc I do like the ease of setup with the hard shell though, thats definitely a bonus
@@TrailRecon I spent a day watching your videos. The stuff you all can do is great. I live in the Ozark Mountains and have discovered some neat places to trail. I would not have discovered that passion if it wasn't for you and your content.
I have a similar tent from a other producer (looks the same) Im super happy with it, and it fits the JK perfectly. No problems so far after a year of use, and I have spend a lot of nights up there.
Looks great, BUT, with any collapsible tent, if it rains and you put it away wet, you better bring it back out ASAP!!! to dry out or MOLD can happen. You ever have any problems with this? Id guess not being on the west coast. Were on the east coast. Much different weather out here...
Great review. I’m looking into a hard shell, particularly “ikamper”. It looks as though your able to keep your bedding inside as well & have the awning, additional room add on as well. Shoe holder too 👍🏻. Keep up the great work 🙂
We just got the iKamper and it is AWESOME! King-sized bed and it opens and closes just as easily as Brad's... I agonized for a few years waiting for the right rooftop set up, and I am super happy with our purchase. Brad's review, with his soft shell experience and cons of his current set-up just confirmed we made the right choice.
I think ursa minor really has tue best design, very pricey, but how cool going from inside your jeep to the tent. I also like that one side of it stays hardside
I’d like to get my hands on one. I just started to save up some cash. For the time being I just use a regular camping tent and a Remington 870. Seems to do the trick for now.
Hi Brad, I went for a hard shell because of you 😊 and I do love it, it is a V shape model 55 wide from another company. . With the V shape, the ladder is further back due to the window position so it clears the door. It was the main reason I went with that model. I did purchase double shoe bag from Thule/Tapui and it comes with a pole so super easy to attach to the rack or ladder thanks again for the great info's
Hello Brad... wanted to say Thank you for all the work you do to make your channel professional and informative! I just ordered a Roam Vagabond XL and used the TrailRecon discount and got $99.99 off the price! I am super excited to get out there with my wife in our 2017 JKUR and explore and use our new Roam RTT. Have a great rest of the summer and keep the content coming!!! Cheers! Paul
Great video Brad! Back here in aus I have seen a number of people putting a piece of elastic around the middle of the tent to solve the need to tuck all the fabric in when you pack tent up. When the tent is set up the struts should be strong enough to keep the elastic stretched out.
Just checked price on site. Seems a bit pricey for what it is. Think I will spend the extra for alu cab, it seems more durable for long term use. Great review though.
Thanks Brad, if I hadnt bought a Tepui a few months ago, that one would be first on my list! I would be happy support ROAM for sure, a great company for sure !
Just wanted to say thanks dude 🤘🏾 because of your videos I have been turning my Jeep into a nasty overland vehicle. I’m also broke.... my wife’s pissed.... but when she kicks me out the RTT works well. Keep up the vids !!
What roof rack do you use? I'm reading about the factory hard top not being rated for high loads like a rooftop tent. Did you mount directly into the frame under the fiberglass top?
Hi Brad, thank you for this video. I am on the fence about buying a regular tent or top roof. We are 2+1 family, so I need to look for another alternative. Very informative as always, and congratulations for great collaboration with the top tent company.
My $10 pup tent served me well for many years, then I moved up to a four man tent for the space. That has been nice but I am tired of sleeping on the ground, now after 40 years of it. So if I could find a roof top tent that fits on my beloved TJ, that may be the ticket. I would hate having to upgrade to a new JL so I can fit a roof top tent. But It would be sooo nice! :-)
Man your Jeep is Sick! Just Sick! Man wow you totally nailed it. It’s not to much or just over done and the tent just makes it all the better. Very very well done man!!! Just found your channel liked and subbed!!!
Fantastic share! Might I please tap your knowledge and experience regarding the Jeep and tires. Since our 2017 Jeep Sahara also sees everyday use we would like to switch over to better tires without lifting the Jeep. What is the largest size tires that you feel would handle reasonable off-road demands and provide a smooth and quiet ride on pavement without us modifying our Jeep? Many Thanks!
Tent looks pretty good I wouldn't mind having one of those except for my Smittybilt was only $657 I could buy almost four of them the cover was my biggest problem at first but now but I'm used to doing it it only takes me a few minutes and it really doesn't get that dirty on the inside
I didn't read all the comments so maybe it's been suggested, but what about an elastic belly band you can hook in the corners. I'm other tents I've seen something similar used to pull the fabric inward when closing so you don't have to worry about stuffing the fabric in or forgetting to and causing damage.
Loved the video on the ROAM hard-shell tent prototype. Too bad ROAM doesn’t sell or make anything like it. It’s been a couple years, so I guess ROAM decided to stay with the soft-material options that have the long set-up and break-down times and all the other shortcomings you mentioned.
I’ve a hardshell Tentbox classic and a fold out Tentbox lite. Honestly, I think the time thing only is an objection if you’re constantly in a state of rushing. My Lite (folding one) takes less than 3 minutes, and my classic under 1. If my life were to be so busy that 2 minutes extra constantly makes that much of a difference then I’d start taking diazepam again.
Hey Brad, awesome video. Can you still remove the 2 front panels of the freedom top with this tent? I want to get a rooftop tent thats super quick to open and close, but am also very fond of the removing the freedom panels in front. Thx.
60 years ago, in settling a debate among some scientists, wind tunnel tests showed that it was more efficient to carry a rooftop rowboat stern forward. Assuming that it can be reversed, you would benefit a little from reversing your rooftop tent and having the "front" face backwards. This is because the partial vacuum formed behind the flat "back" creates more drag. When the flat part faces forward, the wind builds up in front of the flat side and deflects the wind. Given the shape of this tent, there's some angle to the flat "back", I suspect the effect would be small.
Thanks for the videos ! Very informative and helpful. One question on the hard top. Do they have zip up covers from bottom for screen so you can have a bit more privacy but still have half screen open. I have a truck tent that My husband and I use and works well. I love the inner zip screen covers that zip from the bottom. Great privacy but still have air flow!!
Brad, Only another several thousand dollars and you could get a Ursa Minor pop top to enter from inside. Oh yah, the graphics, well maybe for the gladiator? Don't forget the soft ice cream machine, lvol. Have fun. Happy trails!!!
Did Roam Adventure company quit making or selling this model? I can’t seem to locate it even after doing a search on their website. Thank You I just subscribed
I watch all of your video's man and i got to tell you i love this video you did about the roof top tent the way you describe everything in such great detail it really shows us fan's what its really like its like we are there doing the walk around with you it's just so great i watched your video about your upgrades on the inside of your jeep about the vector bar i orderd that and i have that comming for my jeep and now im definitely going to get this same roof top tent its the perfect one for me so thank you so much for doing what you do and ill be looking forward to your next videos of your trip im warren Brumfield from ohio i hope you have a great day and have fun on your trips
Like to see your overland Jeep Gladiator video with your new camper shell on it. You have that yet? Wondering how that will work with the camper shell and tent on top etc
I followed the link to Roam Adventure's site, but the Rambler has no price, just a "Sold Out" where the price would be. Do you have a MSRP for this tent?
The awning issue. It would be really cool if one side had a pull out awning like the old projector screens. It could be all self contained in the hard shell.
Great video!! I have a Smittybilt RTT and its great! I've always wondered about the hard-shell kind! Not having to deal with the cover seems like a huge plus!
Nice tent, looks like it is better suited for large vehicle roof space with its large 81" length. Maybe Jeep and 4Runner work well. Have you seen any Tacoma's that have this hardshell installation?
Nice, but the width.... too narrow. If you are talking about comfort for one, but cosy for 2, that says it all. The overall concept is there, but seems to lack "wiggle" room. Keep them coming. The locations are wonderful.
Would you want to get something bigger, say the Roofnest Eagle? I feel like that extra 8" width over the Roam would be well worth it when bringing another person & dogs. Also thank you for all your videos, as 90% of my overland gear and setup is based off your reviews!
Curious on your ICON lift and how you feel about it now. I am new to the Jeep and looking for a bit of a lift. Considering a 3" stage 3 ICON. Many Jeep people, esp the Metal Cloak fans, put down ICON saying they are not designed for Jeeps but they are great for trucks. The system looks great if a bit expensive. For the same price, I can do Metal Cloak Game Changer. Teraflex ST2. Too many choices... I am interested in overland not so much rock crawling or obstacles but I understand I will never know what I will run into.AZ landscape changes quickly. For me to get to a remote campsite and get out the Gravel or Mountain Bikes. I don't think I could wait for a full review before I end up making a lift decision :) Any impressions different than your first impressions? Thanks!
i m gonna buy a roof Top Tent Hard Shell this winter (i m from Qc Montreal)…. i like you r chanel and video ( i have FJ Cruiser custom) … and i want to put this tent on my rack … you r recommended this cie. i think yes .. but i want to be sure before to buy
Hey Brad nice video. ? Do they fit on 2 doors. Also my 2 door has a barracade roof rack ( currently on for transport of my kayaks) I'm looking to go out to alaska and this hard shell would make my trip an adventure & less expensive, making stops on several campsite for down time on my way there. Thanks. Great stuff man, Subscribed!!!
Hi fella Amazing vlog by the way, forgive me for saying this but why didn't you move the hardshellanother 3" more towards the passenger side and the ladder would've clicked right in. With a vehicle that size wouldn't make any difference. I'm just saying as an idea/option.
What roof rack/mounts are you using?, I just bought this tent and noticed that on my jku the rain gutter doesn't go all the way to the back, need guidance
Nice review👍. I have my concerns of taking such a heavy load on top for fear of gravity issues on the trails. How do you see it, please advise. Presently, I make do with a ground tent with its pros and cons.
This guy is the Mr. Rogers of the off-roading world. Really like the thorough and informative videos and the family-friendly format. Cheers.
You are absolutely right!!! love his videos!!!!
Brad is the best, right?
Fyi for the past seven months or so I have pulled up your content and have bought and started building my version yes you are a strong influence. and thanks very much for you desire to do video. so much more to say. but much gratitude.

Never realize something like this existed. Just started exploring buying a jeep. Thank you for the video. I may start to like camping outdoors.

Awesome stuff. I own a Jeep cause of your content. I accidentally found your channel and got the bug... So Thanks!!!
So great to hear you are enjoying the content! Thank you!
@@TrailRecon I spent a day watching your videos. The stuff you all can do is great. I live in the Ozark Mountains and have discovered some neat places to trail. I would not have discovered that passion if it wasn't for you and your content.
This is dope
Nice! I’m about to buy a Jeep, and it was TrailRecon’s video adventure along CA highway 395 that did it for me. My favorite area of the country.
Just bought a 2016 JKU in Rhino Gray, 3.5” lift on 35’s!!! Whaaaat! Now I get to follow your channel instead of just casually watch! Lol
It's probably important to remember that you're 6ft up in the air when getting out of bed in the morning.
Thanks, Brad. I think you sold me on a clam shell if I decide to go RTT. That one looks particularly well made.
I have a similar tent from a other producer (looks the same) Im super happy with it, and it fits the JK perfectly. No problems so far after a year of use, and I have spend a lot of nights up there.

How about a model that you can enter and exit by the skylight....and open and close awnings from the inside
The best roof-top tent i have seen so far. fuss free!
My $10 pup tent served me well for many years, then I moved up to a four man tent for the space. That has been nice but I am tired of sleeping on the ground, now after 40 years of it.

Man your Jeep is Sick! Just Sick! Man wow you totally nailed it. It’s not to much or just over done and the tent just makes it all the better. Very very well done man!!! Just found your channel liked and subbed!!!
Awesome tent but how does the flat roof deal with rain and snow?

Sooo...this tent isn't listed on the Roam Adventure Co. web site...any idea why?!?
This is perfect for 1 person honestly.

Thanks for being a long time subscriber, appreciate the support!!
super informative, very inspirational with great views and footage.
Do you have a video on the set up? As far as the brackets you used to mount onto your rhino rack pioneer? Thank you
I don't see this on the Roam website, did I just miss it?

The link you provided does not have the tent for sale? Has it been removed?
Did Roam Adventure company quit making or selling this model? I can’t seem to locate it even after doing a search on their website. Thank You I just subscribed
I purchased the IKamper Skycamp and that is also a hardshell but very large as it too overlapse and sleeps 4 adults.
Have you checked out the ikamper tent? It seems like an interesting cross between the traditional soft and hard shell rooftop tents.
"54 seconds, that's under a minute" Glad I came here it's so educational.
I watch all of your video's man and i got to tell you i love this video you did about the roof top tent the way you describe everything in such great detail it really shows us fan's what its really like its like we are there doing the walk around with you it's just so great i watched your video about your upgrades on the inside of your jeep about the vector bar i orderd that and i have that comming for my jeep and now im definitely going to get this same roof top tent its the perfect one for me so thank you so much for doing what you do and ill be looking forward to your next videos of your trip im warren Brumfield from ohio i hope you have a great day and have fun on your trips
Like to see your overland Jeep Gladiator video with your new camper shell on it. You have that yet? Wondering how that will work with the camper shell and tent on top etc
Great review!
Off topic question: what’s the O.D. dimension of the jeep’s driver-tire to passenger-tire? TIA 🙏🏻
I followed the link to Roam Adventure's site, but the Rambler has no price, just a "Sold Out" where the price would be. Do you have a MSRP for this tent?
Can you make custom half walls for your pop top camper. I can.
The awning issue. It would be really cool if one side had a pull out awning like the old projector screens. It could be all self contained in the hard shell.
Great video!! I have a Smittybilt RTT and its great! I've always wondered about the hard-shell kind! Not having to deal with the cover seems like a huge plus!
Nice tent, looks like it is better suited for large vehicle roof space with its large 81" length. Maybe Jeep and 4Runner work well. Have you seen any Tacoma's that have this hardshell installation?
When is this product actually coming out? I don’t see it on their website
High, closed looks this roof-tent much better than the other ones. Kindly Fiete
Nice review and demo ... is there any way that this tent could work with an awning that is also attached to the roof? Can you have both? Thanks!
Great Vid Brad. I’m still holding on to my ground tent, but I sure like the sleekness.
Nice, but the width.... too narrow. If you are talking about comfort for one, but cosy for 2, that says it all. The overall concept is there, but seems to lack "wiggle" room. Keep them coming. The locations are wonderful.
Is the roam rtt available yet?
Why did roam stop making these? This looks awesome!
I don't see this tent on the ROAM website yet. How can I get one?
Brad, this is October 30, 2021. I cannot find this exact product online. I wonder if ROAM Adventure Co. decided not to offer it?
How much weight can the roof of the tent handle when opened? For a rigid glass solar panel
Pricing is not bad. May need to consider adding to my JK.
Pricing is very competitive when compared to others out there.
Been waiting for this for a while now
Great review!
Hardshells are great for solo, but just doesn't cut it for any size of family.
I own a Tuff Stuff Alpha II and I can tell you that it works for 2 people and a child.
@@michaelroback5883 until they turn 5... then it is not reasonable nor comfortable
Would you want to get something bigger, say the Roofnest Eagle? I feel like that extra 8" width over the Roam would be well worth it when bringing another person & dogs.
Also thank you for all your videos, as 90% of my overland gear and setup is based off your reviews!
I will be looking for something with a little more room on the Gladiator! Thank you!

Right on!
Good review, thank you. But have you ever considered giving the Ursa Minor J30 top a try? If you do can you review it for us?
hey Brad, i'm new to owning a jeep and love the wheels on your's. what brand and style are they.
Can u make a review on the CO2 tank you use to fill air ypur tires. what is the ideal tank size and other peripherals attach to it. thanks.
Very good tent Brad and for sure you have a lot of experience about that. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
i m gonna buy a roof Top Tent Hard Shell this winter (i m from Qc Montreal)…. i like you r chanel and video ( i have FJ Cruiser custom) … and i want to put this tent on my rack … you r recommended this cie. i think yes .. but i want to be sure before to buy
Hey Brad nice video.
? Do they fit on 2 doors. Also my 2 door has a barracade roof rack ( currently on for transport of my kayaks) I'm looking to go out to alaska and this hard shell would make my trip an adventure & less expensive, making stops on several campsite for down time on my way there.
Thanks.
Great stuff man,
Subscribed!!!
Fantastic honest review! Pros and cons....love it.
Appreciate it!
So i have to admit, I'm a little bummed out. I thought those ladder brackets were LED lights! LOL Oh well, still an awesome setup.
Same lol
Just went to you link and it looks like they are not carrying this hardshell tent anymore?
Yeah I just noticed this as well. I wonder why they stopped carrying it
CONGRATS...!!!! 🙌🏼🌟
I just went on their website and I didn't see the model that you have. Looks like they might have discontinued it.
I think its not the most requested anymore! It may be everyone waiting on your Gladiator Review!
LOL! You are probably right!
This dude seems like such a nice guy. I need to learn some better people skills lolol
Since retiring from the Navy I'm always working on my people skills!
@@TrailRecon Oh cool! My little step brother is stationed on the USS Wasp.
Hi fella Amazing vlog by the way, forgive me for saying this but why didn't you move the hardshellanother 3" more towards the passenger side and the ladder would've clicked right in. With a vehicle that size wouldn't make any difference. I'm just saying as an idea/option.
You could, but prefer to keep the weight centered as much as possible.
Hey, I'm looking on the website and this is not longer in the products they sell.. I NEED TO FOUND THIS SOOO BAD
Nice review. Not found on Roam's site. Discontinued?
What roof rack/mounts are you using?, I just bought this tent and noticed that on my jku the rain gutter doesn't go all the way to the back, need guidance
Glad you got some good time in it now and can give a great opinon been looking forward to this on
It's 2021 and Roam doesn't show this product on their website. Looking for quick set-up Jeep tent.
Nice review👍. I have my concerns of taking such a heavy load on top for fear of gravity issues on the trails. How do you see it, please advise. Presently, I make do with a ground tent with its pros and cons.
