Episode 5 - Roof Top Tents for Car Camping and Overlanding


Listen Later

In this episode I compare and contract two different types of hard side roof top tents.  The "Pillbox" vs the "Wedge".  Each serves the similar purpose of giving you a dry warm place to sleep at night but they do it in slightly different ways.  I don't have personal experience with the soft sided RTT's so I can't speak to those at the moment but I do have personal experience with both of these!

If you're into overlanding you've probably heard of rooftop tents already!  They really are a great option for quick camp setup and ease of use.  They aren't affordable though and the cost may prohibit some buyers from getting a hard side rooftop tent.  Even if you just car camp a lot (a form of overlanding) you may benefit from using a roof top tent!  Imagine being able to sleep comfortable in an elevated platform above a rocky ground.  Or sleeping high above a muddy area or an area with snakes, predators, or creep crawlies!  You can start to see why a rooftop tent (RTT as they are often referred to) is a sweet option. 

My Roofnest is built well and lives up to it's name as a premium rooftop tent manufacturer.  There are more affordable options though if the Roofnest is out of your budget.  Do you have an RTT already?  Is your preference a wedge type or a pillbox type?  Is yours mounted to your vehicle or to a trailer?  Have you made any modifications to your RTT that you can share?
