This is the way that all folding tents should fold. Great space saver, even for us pickup folks. Only thing is it's really tight for 2 people. Can you keep this size as small and make a medium one available, maybe in the 28-30 inches wide folded, with the same length? This could allow for a little taller too.
I saw this video maybe over 50 times. After I bought this product I notice this video has no fold down to drive. I install this product today. And fold down took me 3 hours. It was very hard. Very very very hard. And I have the other side roof box and I can’t zipping with roof box. I am so sad I bought this product.
Hello Awad, great question! We regret to inform you that you should not use Tepui Tents with any type of Clamp Style roof rack as the high static weight may cause damage to the roof.
Hi Nethathai, thank you for your question! It depends on the width of the roof bars you have and also the width of the roof box. We would be happy to assist you regarding this if you reach out to us thru this link: thuleab.force.com/hc/s/contactsupport?language=en_GB Don´t forget to specify the country you are located in and an agent will contact you :)
The length of bar your car can take you can see in our guide in the roof rack section of thule.com. You can usually go up one size but it is not guaranteed it will fit. The tent is 61cm wide when closed so a 118cm bar or longer should be able to fit a bike next to it without any issues.
This tent is a pain to put away. When are you bringing out an upgrade to that dreadful zip on the cover and making it available for existing customers?
In the uk you can be arrested for being “drunk in charge of a vehicle”, even if you are on the back seat of the vehicle or asleep anywhere or not actually even driving the vehicle and even if the ignition is off. If you are over the alcohol limit and sleeping in this rooftop tent, I suspect you could still be arrested for the same reason. Can anyone confirm the legal position for the UK.
In Germany we have a similar law, but they key has to be inserted into the starter(key hole?) for it to be illegal to be drunk. So pulling out the key and driking a bottle of wine is no problem here. Maybe it's the same for you guys.
That's legal, as long as you're not driving under the influence. You could keep some single-use alcohol testers in your car while on trips with the tent. If you're not even driving the vehicle, the ignition is off, or you're a passenger, you will not be arrested.
Saw this at an REI Resupply for $700. Was tempted but this video seems like it’s more hassle than your average RTT. I feel like I could set up my TNF Wawona 4 tent faster than this video
All nice and fun, but in reality to mount the tent it takes half a day. Plus, the instructions are useless. Plus, for the "lockable attachments" (please people, don't waste money on that shit) you need to buy 2 extra rails which are the same as the ones mounted except for 1 hole
J'ai acheté une Thule Autana 3 il y a moins d'un mois, les tentes de toit sont "garanties à vie". Utilisée depuis trois semaines seulement, la tente perce de partout: les fermetures éclairs de l'annexe (l'eau rentre PARTOUT et présence d'une bassine d'eau au lever), la toile perce et n'est pas imperméable, certaines parties de la toile de la chambre perce également et est humide lorsqu'il pleut. J'ai payé la tente plus de 2800$ (soit plus de 10x le prix d'une tente lambda Queshua de Decathlon que j'avais acheté auparavant), je n'ai jamais rencontré de problème de fuite avec ma Decathlon en deux ans d'utilisation. J'ai contacté le service garantie de Thule qui m'a dit que c'était normal que l'annexe perce et n'était pas Waterproof au niveau des fermetures éclairs (quoi de plus normal qu'une annexe qui prend l'eau à la moindre pluie?? Surtout pour une tente de ce prix ..), le service m'a proposé d'acheter un produit imperméabilisant pour une tente de trois semaines NEUVE qui fuite de PARTOUT... Vraiment écoeurée de leur service client ... Je ne recommande pas!!!
Merci pour ton témoignage... D'après les forum IKamper est hyper fiable... mais 4000EUROS... J'hésite avec swissking à 1000 euro du coup.... Merci beaucoup en tout cas car je me disais qu'elle doit être pas mal
2k for something that takes less material than many of their other tents. No ground breaking innovation to recoup cost on yet, Thule is gonna punch people in the wallet simply because it folds length ways
Dude... Really? I live in LA and a rough neighborhood at that. Several of my neighbors have RTTs and not one has been stolen. Also if you're worried about it just get a kryptonite cable lock and ABUS lock you goof.
Hello Alex, this model is only sold under the name Thule Tepui Foothill. Please take a closer look at it on our website: www.thule.com/en-us/rooftop-tents-and-accessories/rooftop-tents/thule-tepui-foothill-_-901250
@@thule nope i found the manufacturer on Alibaba they sell it to companies that order a lot and put a custom logo on it they say moq is 100 but it's the exact same pictures only with an empty spot where the logo is it got videos even of the tent not used here also the text is exactly copied from the site enjoin is the original manufacturer of the tent or a copy not sure but anyway they do sell the exact model to other company's that put a custom logo on it when they order the moq
Guys. Look how thick that is. Make it thinner. Actually think about wind drag. God, if I had the money you had just making this video. The fuel consumption alone, jesus christ.
This probably cost up from $3,000, so you better be homeless and living out of your car to justify it. In the real camping world, you have to waste time leveling the car. You have to collapse the tent, then erect it again, every time you want to use the car. And, on the smaller, lower powered SUVs these days, it will kill your gas mileage like crazy. Very much a solution looking for a problem to solve.
They're about $1,300, and they don't take very long to setup. 7 ish minutes to setup, about 10 to take down. As long as you don't park on the side of a bank or tires up on a large rock, the suspension of the vehicle keeps everything fairly level. All in all it's a very nice setup for long trips out on the trails, fishing trips, etc. Of course anything you put up on the top is going to affect fuel mileage, but then again towing a pop-up or camper will too. Aerodynamics kinda work that way. I saw a 2 mpg loss at the more extreme end (interstate travel), city or back roads was neglible loss. (I drive a 2022 TRD OR 4runner, and still get 23-25 mpg interstate, 15 city)

I love this concept it's not bulky and seems to be removable especially if not used in the winter time. I must get this
Nice rain flys but seems a bit time consuming for a roof top tent. IMO
What’s the waterproofing like? Will be using in Scotland where it rains every now and then……

Thank you for a constructive comment on this tent. I was considering getting it, but I will now re-consider it. Thank you
@@jockwhisky1 hello. I switched zipper line. I found good video from youtube. So maybe it is more easy to me. Here is winter so I can’t try a lot.
Get the security screws. Mine got stolen before I ever got a chance to use it.
So Sorry to hear about the theft. We hope you got help from your insurance company to replace the tent.
very good!!!!!🙃
I prefer his watch what brand is it?
Thule
is it compatible with the thule caprock roof rack?
Can this be mounted on a Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform?
In the product manual that is available on thule.com you can see what the requirements are for the roof rack.
Will there be official deliveried to Brazil?
Hi There, I want to know if this will work with the Thule Clamp Evo Bare Roof rack or not. Thanks in advance
Hello Awad, great question! We regret to inform you that you should not use Tepui Tents with any type of Clamp Style roof rack as

Hi. I am wondering that can fit roof tent and roof box together on the top of SUV car?

What size crossbars do you recommend to have the Tepui Foothill with a bike next to it? Would 50 inch work?

I agree with you. I spent 3 hours for put away. Horrible!
ugh I want it so bad
You don't really need the rain cover.
What the deal with the ladder without thule logo but you can buy the ladder from you guys for $300 kit
We do not have our logo on the ladders at this point. Maybe it is added on future products.
Is any owners whose 6’2 or taller can confirm you can comfortably sleep on this tent?
In the uk you can be arrested for being “drunk in charge of a vehicle”, even if you are on the back seat of the vehicle or asleep anywhere or not actually even driving the vehicle and even if the ignition is off.

I'm too invested now, I need to know the answer to this question too!!!

@@alodelore9597 What happens if it is a push button start?
Will there be official deliveries to Russia? Now it's impossible to buy them for Russia.
Хахаха
Ты как в воду глядел!

Current modern ground tents are just as easy to set up, single handed (see Nemo).
Yea
This is mpre tedious and time consuming than a tent you can just pitch on the ground....eliminates the point of having it attached to the car
👏👏👏👏🤠😎🤠😎
Shame that on a movie U don't use real tent when it's puting on a roof of the car. It's too heavy for it
So lange herumfummeln... Wer will das schon?

Ну и зачем нужна палатка на крыше авто? Что вы там курите для таких безумных идеи?
A pair of bolt cutters and this is nicked from your roof. They need to incorporate keylock down with this system.

Thank you for pointing out that having items on the outside of the car increases consumption independently of its design. It is often overlooked.
The fly hooks are garbage. Two person job. Ufffg
