    Thank you for the detailed walkthrough! Great video. We just bought a standard size in Green with orange theme with Annex. We are looking forward to setting it up for the first time soon. The only challenge that we foresee at the moment is the height of the tent as we have it mounted onto a truck cap. So the tent sits quite a bit higher than on most factory height SUVs. But I am sure that we will find the workaround. 🍻

    Just got this today for less than $2K with the annex. Don't need to buy a fancy batwing awning nor a privacy booth. A bonus I did not realize is that I can still use my Buddy Heater by leaving it in the annex.

    Amazing to me how many people complain about the setup time not being "instant" but completely gloss over how much better the tents features are than the tents that setup quick. So they'd save 10 minutes but have a bad sleep, have to carry extra mattresses (outside of the tent) and have a LOT less light and interior room.

    • @northridgenation

      We really like these ROAM tents. They have a lot of extras that other companies sell as optional.
      Like those 3" thick mattresses.

    If you lay out the annex first then when you unfold the tent the ladder will be inside the annex and you can just zip up the three sides

    Awesome update... I just purchased this tent locally, I hoping to install my rack today and the tent this week. I’m going out the 11th.
    Do you have to take out the porch loop everytime? I thought that was just separate when it ships

    • @northridgenation
      @northridgenation  3 года назад +1

      Yes, the porch loop needs to be installed and then removed and stored each time you open and close the tent.

      You can leave bedding in place as long as it is spread out, not lumped up in one place.

    Thanks for the video, but iKamper looks infinitely nicer to setup and tear down.

    • @bnorvs5929
      @bnorvs5929 2 года назад +4

      Yeah for 2x (and greater) the price. Not worth it at all.

    • @santiagodraco
      @santiagodraco Год назад +2

      Infinitely? Hardly. Easier? yes. However there are a lot of nice features in this tent that the iKamper doesn't have. First this sits nicely between the overly small Skycamp Mini and the overly large Skycamp. iKamer really missed the target in sizing those tents. Secondly the Vagabond has a lot more space inside, more windows, covered struts, 3 side awnings, a fully enclosed annex and a lot more space inside to store bedding when closed.
      Not to mention the vagabond has an "infinitely" better mattress setup than the iKamper does. The only advantage of the iKamper over the Vagabond is setup/tear down and aerodynamics while driving.

      Me too, but almost twice the cost of a standard RTT. With these already being $2k, that's a tall order. This seems to be the nicest one on the market though in this class. Tons of standard features, I just ordered one.

      I don't disagree. If cash is no problem, go for it. I have the ROAM Vagabond. It takes me about 6 minutes to take it down without the annex. If I use the annex, add about 3 minutes.
