Here in Australia, l just put the swag up on the roof rack to keep away from the snapping handbags. When lm not in croc country put the swag on the ground. Multi use. Happy days. 😀
If you can blow this much money on a fabric tent, then you can afford to just buy an RV or trailer. It's weird that these can even exist at these prices.
One Con to add to the ultra light go fast camper is that there is no overhang or awning over the entrance to the tent. Once you open the door when it is raining, the inside is going to get wet. I called go fast to specifically ask if they offered an awning or overhang on the front part of the tent to prevent rain from getting inside and they said no. I will say though, it would not be too difficult to make one.
Right, it seems like problem for all those almost directly accessible tents without almost any awning. Constructions like that from Thule where access is covered looks much better.
Hi, Daniel. From what I know, same supplier can make pretty different products (in quality and features) for different customers. But I will double check the info
Roof top tent Pros: + above ground + no need to look for place big enough and suitable for tent, as you can "build" one on the footprint of the car + easy to bring up and anchor on difficult (rocky) terrain Cons: - price tag - takes very valuable roof space - adds extra weight, making rig more top-heavy - night sleep-walking out to pee-pee might be pretty "adventurous" if you forget that you sleep ~2m above the ground Generally I like the idea. However I still prefer "coffin" box on the roof for the stuff and extra storage space combined with two 'standard' tents on the ground. Kids in one a bit away from mine one.
These tents are specifically built so you can offroad with them to get to more remote areas. Their frames are reinforced steel and aluminum that can handle up to 500lbs dynamic weight, which is important so they don't warp under oscillation. I have the tepui autanna ruggedized. Also take down and setup in minutes, important for overlanders like myself that move camp every morning
@@YourResidentSerb You can buy these off of Alibaba.com for $500-$800 directly from the manufacturers. They are a massive ripoff at $3000 now matter how you slice it.
Hello. I like to ask a question. I live in Argentina, in patagonia. Here the winds are very strong. Till 160 km / h, winds of 80 km/h are common. I like to know km what are your roof top tent recomendation for this wheather. Thank you!!
#3 should not even be top 10. This takes forever to get setup and put back compared to a traditional tent. #1, #2, and #7 are my favorites. Then the only question is about the wind resistance & noise.
@@MustSeeTech what manufacturer is it from so I know to avoid them? You do realize this is like having a screen door on a submarine. Or actually like a nascar with a bike rack.
@@RandomStuffGarage619 you’d be surprised, we are racing the norra 1000 this year with the tent on that exact race truck. Company is called go fast campers for a reason.
@@galeriafuentes - We dropped a 45lb limb on our 5 times in testing, with virtually zero damage. Do that with the others and get back to us with the results.
@@MustSeeTech half that, 1000$ a price point where I belive the manufacturers can profit and it would allow many more to be purchased so everyone can experience the fun of this type of camping,thanks😉

Would you consider roof-top tent camping or rather stay closer to the ground? Share your thoughts in the comments!

@@evrythingis1 I agree. The price range for these tents are pretty high. Hopefully as the market gets more competitive, the prices will fall.
I built my own. Less than 500$ inkluding solar. Lol
I built my own on my 91 2door YJ Jeep Wrangler. It is thru-bottom and serves also as my top with the added luxury of supporting solar panels.
Hi. Do you have an Instagram account or channel? I would gladly check it out
In fakt, just hit me up on FB. I kan send a vid and piks personally if you want.
08:18 Hmm that FSR Odyssey "premium" looks pretty like Drifta WildLand
There are some of the best brands that are missing:
James Baroud, Portugal.
Alu Cab, South Africa.
The Bush Company, Australia.
Thanks for the suggestions! I think I have heard about them, but I will definitely look into them in more detail

FSR and Drifta are literally the same tents. Both Alibaba supplier Wildlands. At least Drifta isn’t hiding it...
Hi, Daniel. From what I know, same supplier can make pretty different products (in quality and features) for different customers. But I will double check the info
One parameter must be taken into account: wind resistance! Then you have to choose between two brands, made in South Africa or Italy.
Hi I agree, that is an important factor.
Good video but you forgot to put www. On your links
Roof top tent
Pros:
+ above ground
+ no need to look for place big enough and suitable for tent, as you can "build" one on the footprint of the car
+ easy to bring up and anchor on difficult (rocky) terrain
Cons:
- price tag
- takes very valuable roof space
- adds extra weight, making rig more top-heavy
- night sleep-walking out to pee-pee might be pretty "adventurous" if you forget that you sleep ~2m above the ground

Hi, Tom. Good pros and cons list. I think it is worth trying, at least once. Maybe rent one out
Omg these should be 1000 to 2000 max wow 😳
I wish that was the case. I guess it's because they market to a very small segment of the population.
Basic tents in a plastic case that costs as much as a good used car. Absolutely absurd.
They do let you sleep above the ground, away from insects and dew..
@@MustSeeTech I see, so just like a $30 air mattress you can put in a $90 tent...
Not really 😉

Hi there. I am not use if these can withstand such strong winds. You would need to contact the manufacturer that interested you to find out
Might want to skip those hurricane wind days :)
Tent box for me its good i like it
👍 good choice

Hi. Thanks for sharing. If you are interested in these, check out manufacturer's websites for more info.
The odyssey and willd land tents look the same design
vote for #10 GoFast Superlite
Thanks for sharing, Leo!
LMAO @ thumbnail... A prerunner with an overland rack and a tent hahahaha
Whoever hacked those images together has no clue wtf they just did lol
Hi. It is a photo from the manufacturer, I just painted it

@@graememacpherson5160 is it pretty common to pull over and sleep in the norra 1000? I really can't see how a tent on your truck is an advantage.
@@graememacpherson5160 also who is "we"? I would like to see who this race team is or what company is making this tent?
Where is JAMES BAROUD?
Hi, I have not heard about it. Thanks for the suggestion
All of the tents shown are made in China. We recommend the USA Made Terrapod RTTx
what does your RTT go for? I'm building out a rig and looking for one. I got a Tacoma 3rd gen. looking to have it over the bed of the truck.
USA made means good quality? Come on now
@@galeriafuentes - We dropped a 45lb limb on our 5 times in testing, with virtually zero damage. Do that with the others and get back to us with the results.
@@terrapodadventuresystems5702 can u post videos of your products and testing.
@@galeriafuentes - already have. They are up.
Good list👍
Thanks, Patrick!
Gonna need a second mortgage to buy a tent
🤔
I hate those COVID commercial
Please add portuguese subtitles
You dont need coz in Portugal you got the best brand on planet earth : JAMES BAROUD
This is not 2021 models, but 2020
Hi. They don't really update them every year. And the pitch of the video is new RTTs to buy in 2020 and 2021
I'd conspider it if it was a reasonable price ,2000$ is a stupid amount of money for a tent of any type.
Hi, Joe. What's reasonable in your opinion?
@@MustSeeTech half that, 1000$ a price point where I belive the manufacturers can profit and it would allow many more to be purchased so everyone can experience the fun of this type of camping,thanks😉
way, way, WAY too many ads.
Ad Blocker Ultimate is your friend.
An overpriced 2 person tent and a loss of roof rack space. It's just a tent for rich people and show offs
If is under 1500 $ not really 😂

Hi, Joe. What are you saying?
