Just purchased an old fashioned Dakota 1400 Roof top tent that I chose OVER a hardshell rooftop to put on my Patrol roof rack . Why you ask ?? Its lighter (57kg ) , It only takes half the roof rack and I can remove it by myself when not in use unlike a heavy hardshell . It also was only $1500 compared to nearly $4000 for the Sabre I was considering .Other than the hardshell , the Dakota has all the 23zero features and quality of the Sabre . The only con is it takes 2 minutes longer to pack away . Worth it imo . Dont write off the older style roof top tents . I love mine ( I also kinda think hardshells look like a Coffin on your rack lol ) Also added an EXPED self infating mattress ..... pure bliss with the money I saved , so comfortable .
I'm still happy with the 23zero awning. I have the Osprey on my car now. I'm planning some upgrades on my camper. I'll look at the pro version next which can be used without poles when needed.
The sabre pro looks great but looks very short tho im only 5ft8 and i recon my feet will hang out the door , mabe the camera makes them look shorter , how much do they cost

Great information. Thanks for sharing. 🙏
Hair the roof rack, what happens if your over 5'5",
Hey Nas. I’m thinking of getting a 23ZERO 270awning. I know you say they’re good but as this is an older vid, is your awning still going good?

Good summary. 👍
Cheers. Good opportunity for it. 🙏

I believe show price was around 4.3k.
I hate off camber enough, without putting the best part of another 100kg up there!
Put it on your trailer. 😎
