Nailed it! Animals, fauna, streams, vistas! Enjoying the "View" LOL! Camping prelude, and a review all wrapped into one! Stay safe and keep the great vidoes coming!
I am using the YOHO bed platform in Colorado and love it! I got a Slumberjack 4 Slumbershack, which is a tent with an awning that attaches to the back of my 4Runner, and it works great as well.
Hey Jimmy, nice review, Beautiful country. I enjoyed the Wildlife especially, the wild horses, I would give anything to see them. Hope you had a good time camping.
Thanks, John I appreciate the comment. Yes the wild horses are pretty awesome, some love them some hate them. I should do a video on them, I should have the camera for that soon. Fingers crossed
Hi Jimmy, Great video! 2 questions, Is it easy/doable to disconnect from your SUV or Mini Van to run an errand? Can it be used as a stand-alone tent only? Thanks!
Looks like you're camping in Bull Trout country! Nice setup, solid review. Look forward to future updates on this. Could see one hanging off the back of my Tacoma in the future!
100%...I think it was designated as Cascadia way back when (AB, BC, WA, OR, CO...not sure if ID and SK were incl or not?). Its really very different out East where I am now...far less appreciation for the West or the US. Never understood that and I get some funny looks when I speak up against the anti-Western / US rhetoric.
Enjoyed your video! Question: If you used the YOHO bed sleeping platform what was the function/purpose of the SUV tent? Chillin' with stand up space away from bugs, sun and rain? Did you cook outside of it?
I posted a video not long ago on it, we were using the Yoho system along with the SUV tent and it rained literally for 15 hours straight. So the SUV tent was great, we had a spot to eat, have a few beverages and cook if need be. So it was definitely a bonus in those conditions. It's also nice just to have the extra space. To change, to eat and also gives you good ventilations into the truck without the bugs. For 300 bucks it really makes a difference. Thanks for the comment, much appreciated 👍
Would you still recommend these for just a privacy tent , i read these are best to change clothes etc . But some still prefer there actual tent set up along with the suv tent for thier set up. Could this replace a tent in general .?
I definitely recommend these. Especially at that price point. They work as a stand-alone tent and great for changing etc. But it worked out really well when we had 14 hours of rain, was nice to have somewhere to go.
Used this tent on a 6 months long trip around US. Only put it up if was staying more than five days in one spot - so about 12 times total. Once had it up over 28 days. Always added an additional awning (about 6' x 12') for privacy/shade on the.SUV passenger side. It was almost ideal. Only serious issue was the footprint. In mud & rain the floor was wet/dirty. Kiddy foam carpeting on interior tent pathways helped and seemed to keep floor warmer. Am a senior senior and solo traveler. This was my first tent. ALWAYS gave myself time to put it up right and never had it blow over even in 5°, 3" snow and in 20 mph rain/winds. Solo set up recommend bring extra paracord. Tie paracord to a to a tree other side of tent to stabilize tent/apply guidance as tent goes up - used paracord as an extra pair of hands. Got many compliments on my set up. I almost always kept hatch closed & always slept in SUV although guests slept in tent and said it was comfortable. 10' x 10' & 7' ceiling just right for long term camp stays.
@@JimmyMeatwhistle How did it hold up? I camp in Utah in June with a large group. The spot we go to is perfect except that it is in a valley between mountains and it is like a wind tunnel for a couple of hours every day. We also get evening rain storms that can be pretty heavy. Wondering if the tent stays attached properly in wind and if it is rainproof / waterproof. We've had friends who have had to leave because their tents leaked so much. Don't want to make a purchase before having good information! I'd appreciate your insights!
It's a great little add on especially at this price point.Here's a test I did with fifteen hours of rain in the rocky mountains. th-cam.com/video/3f1Oo1C3jug/w-d-xo.html
I'm right in the rocky mountains and have used it in crazy high winds, and it's been fine. of course It's noisy, and to sleep in those conditions, I use earplugs 👍🍺
@@JimmyMeatwhistle Thnx for the response Too bad you don’t get a little something, maybe ask bass pro shop? I’ll wait and check back, not ready to buy but this looks like my best choice for a ‘guest room’ and as a place holder when camping in my class B
That back tube area that covers the hatch could easily be pulled off so you're not filling the tent with fumes. Close the hatch in warm your 4Runner, no problems
The good parts of Canada and America need to join forces like the Wonder Twins.
Agreed Paul 🍻👍

Hi and thanks for the comment. Yes it can be used as a standalone tent and easily unhooked from your suv. No problem 👍🍻

It’s two years later. Have you found this tent useful?
Looks awesome, might pick one up for my land cruiser.. where was the location you filmed? Would love to check it out sometime!

Do you think it will do a good job of keeping rain out?
I do think it will but we'll have to check that out for sure.

I ordered the yoho bed but never received it!!! Still waiting since 2/1/22 no refund
I just received mine, probably will try to set it tomorrow. Did you test it in the rain yet? Thanks for the quality of the video!
Hi and thanks for the comment. Only in light rain, so far so good but it usually pours when I camp 😆 so an update soon!
Which brand do you recommend?
Totally epic dude
Hello! Looking for something like this! Have you tested this in high winds and rain?
Yes, I have?

@@JimmyMeatwhistle Thank you! Appreciate your reply! Do you know of anyone who's used it in high wind? And if it holds up well?
I'm right in the rocky mountains and have used it in crazy high winds, and it's been fine. of course It's noisy, and to sleep in those conditions, I use earplugs 👍🍺
Hi :D so after one year how does it perform ? i am looking at the Rightline suv tent too...i don't know wich one to buy :D hello from Estrie Québec :D
It's awesome, And the price is right 🍺👍
@@JimmyMeatwhistle hey thanks for the anser :D i wish you a happy camping season :D
About how high can the opening reach? Could you conceivably use it on a van with center opening doors?
I would say 100% yes it would fit
@@JimmyMeatwhistle
Thnx for the response

Stunning scenery wow 🤩
It's pretty amazing for sure. It's really hard to show it on film though. It's 360 degrees of wilderness
Does it cover the exhaust pipe or you were able to leave it out?
I left the tailpipe out. But just like parking in a garage you don't want to run the vehicle LOL
Thanks for the info, Jimmy. Where I am going gets to low 30s at night. Was wondering if I could warm up inside by the heat, guess not :) thanks again.
That back tube area that covers the hatch could easily be pulled off so you're not filling the tent with fumes. Close the hatch in warm your 4Runner, no problems
I take flu spray deet and Curtus oils as it just ruins the break
Where is this?
Canada
Beautiful
I can't wait to tell people that I learned how to trick out my camping system from a guy named Jimmy Meatwhistle.
