- It was supposed to be a fly fishing, camping, hiking trip in the Rocky Mountains, but heavy rains for 15 hours straight blew the trout river out! It was still a great camping trip with a few hours of fly fishing and it was good to actually see how this Napier SUV tent on my 5th gen 4Runner held up to a heavy, long lasting downpour of rain in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Camping, hiking, fly-fishing fun! 🍻😁
5th Gen 4Runner TRD Off Road also set up with the Yoho 4Runner bed system including the Yoho 4Runner Superlite Drawers
First look setup and look at the Napier SUV tent. • SUV Car Camping Tent &...

I just can’t get enough of these videos about the Yoho bed and drawers. Installed mine last week. Love them, both! Beats a rooftop tent! Thanks for introducing them to us.
Thank you TC. Much appreciated and happy camping 🔥 👍👍
Water inside your tent is a fail. Period. Don't believe for a second a good tent will take on water just because the floor is not pegged. Seams shouldn't leak like that, that is a lot of water. Trout fishing looks great though. Gorgeous spot.
Nothing like a Meatwhistle and 4Runner video with a beer on a Friday night!
Haha, thanks Matt 🍻👍 have an awesome weekend!
I bought this tent for my 2003 Toyota Highlander. I’m taking my little Jack Russell with me to camp in the Rocky Mountains in April.
Nice video. I appreciate seeing both aspects: the tent set up as well as the reason why we all want to go camping and that is to enjoy nature!
I could not put this up by myself. I almost sent it back. You made it look so easy!
Thanks for the comment. You got to be real fast that's all LOL
I clicked on here to check out a suv tent. I learned about fly fishing, and drinking 😉🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Haha, good things to know. Thanks for the comment 👍
@@JimmyMeatwhistle I still don't really know how to fly fish, but I've got the beer drinking down 😂
Well that's the main thing. Fly fishing can wait 🤣👍
@@JimmyMeatwhistle great video man. That place is beautiful. Thanks for the time you put into it. 👍🍻 I just subscribed 👍👍
I’m already waiting my delivery of fresh sockeye to the uk and a couple of cold ones 👌🤤 obviously caught by the man himself. Another belting video absolutely love your content brother you live in stunning part of the world all the best cheers 🍻🍻🍻
Wow, thank you Sam!!! Have an awesome weekend my friend 🍻👍🍻
Setup might be your problem; however, water entering via a seam IS A TENT PROBLEM! It shows the seams are not coated to be water tight. It can be fixed, just get some seal sealer for a tent, but it should have been coated from the factory! What if that end was in deeper water? Ok video on the point if someone gets a Napier tent, after setting up the first time, get some seam sealer and run it along the seams. Most sporting goods and Walmart sell, and yes, available on Amazon.
That’s a beautiful area of the province. The tent is a great way to make SUV camping a bit more comfortable. Love the length of this video.
Wow, thank you! Much appreciated 🍻👍
Life is good, particularly for fishers with flys...
Like the tent, want one for my Suburban..
Mate, where's the pan and sluice!??
Looks like a great get away.
Love that tent set up 🥰
Thanks for the comment. It is pretty awesome that's for sure. 👍
Beautiful fly rod!
Another great video, sir. Thanks, as always!!
Wow, thank you, Carol! Much appreciated! Have a great weekend 🍻🍻👍👍
We have the other SUV tent and yrs we had similar rain issues
Next time im thinking of parking on somewhat of a Decline
Thrn leveling
Logic is if it hits the tent first it will run off the vehicle
Plus we put towels up in certain areas where tent wasnt that tight
Helped keep bugs put and soak up water
I wonder of pool noodles would do the same thing
Good info thanks for the comment. 👍
This was a good video. Gave me some good ideas.
cool video bro! I'm from Idaho and live in Texas. I miss the rocky mountains man... I'll subscribe.. peaceful day
Thanks brother. Have a great week 👍 🍺
Beautiful
Great video Jimmy. Fly fishing is on my list in retirement (3 yrs to go). Tents with floors will have those issues from time to time, hard to avoid.
Hi Craig and thanks for the comment. Fly fishing is great fun, you're going to love it! 🍻👍
I was wondering how those tents ⛺ worked out.
When you had the 4Runner parked in th beginning of the video it looked like a Kokanee beer commercial 🥃
Cheers and thanks for the comment BT 👍🍻
@@JimmyMeatwhistle this wes awesome btw.
Thank you my friend, much appreciated. Hopefully more fishing next time 😃
Hey Jimmy, will you guys ever be making the 4Runner drawers again??
I wish there were a tent that attached to a side window, in case you want to channel the A/C. For obvious reasons, you can’t have the car on with this tent…
Portable Bluetooth Bose to my phone works perfectly 👍🍻
Excellent video
Beautiful
Have you seen the insulated french press?
Its helped alot on the cold mornings
Yes they are great. I have one somewhere but I can't find it at the moment. Thanks for the comment, much appreciated🍻👍
Just curious, is the bottom seals not being stretched out enough to have water runoff the only thing that was a waterproof issue?
Sounds like the rest of the tent did pretty good, other than the area you didn't stretch out to stake down?
Also, can you enclose the tent that has the trunk open? While the tent is still over the car trunk? I did see you show that you can zip up the tent if you have to leave, but didn't know if that could be done with the tent still over the car trunk.
Also, does the entrance into the tent, from outside the car have 1 or 2 zippers?
Thank you for taking the time to talk about these kind of tents. I'm still trying to figure out if I want a separate tent or a car tent.
That’s awesome you got your yoho bed I never received mine still waiting since 2/1/22 impossible to get a hold of this guy
Great Video Jimmy! That tent is really cool, I've seen them around, but this is the first video I saw that shows how they work. It is great that you can unhook it and take off with the 4Runner. I hear you about the chest waders...I know a guy whose best friend drowned here on the American River fly fishing, got too deep into the river and his waders filled up. The shots of the river, mountains and beaver dam were beautiful! Wish I was there....
Hi Steve and thank you my friend! Yes the filling up of chest waders is definitely a thing. It happenes at least once a year around here. Nasty way to go. I'd rather be eaten by a grizzly 😃
Little seam seal works on leaks.
I agree, and thanks for the comment. The tent works well; no tent would stand up for that much rain, in my opinion
@@JimmyMeatwhistle most tents do. that is kinda the point of a tent... :D Only cheap tents leak
That river looks like where I grew up in Northern Idaho. ☺️ then I’m thinking if it doesn’t get dark until 11 then you are closer to where I used to live in Alaska - but the water is too clear. You are in BC?
Thank you for the comment. This is Alberta 👍🍻
Which tent is this
With water moving so fast is it possible to really catch fish?
Yes, but it's less likely when it's murky with rain runoff
What a beautiful place. Where in the Rockies are you camping? And what brand/model is that tent? Thanks for sharing.
Hi and thanks for the comment. That is a Napier backroadz tent. And that spot is in Alberta Canada in the Rocky Mountains
@@JimmyMeatwhistle Such a pristine and majestically looking wilderness. I'd like to visit/camp there one day. Hopefully they allow Texans to do so. Thankyou for the reply.
How do you leave the 4Runner hatch open and not drain the battery? Do the interior lights have a shutoff?
Yes you can shut them off so when the doors or hatch are open nothing is on
What is the name of that campground?
What hatchet is that? Would you recommend it?
Its a great hatchet. Check the link in the description below to Amazon. It's a Council Tool Flying Fox hatchet. Awesome deal and a great little Hatchet. I also did a review on it a while back 👍🍻
Hey Jimmy does the hatch up for extended period of time run down the battery ? How long can you keep it open with the cab lights off because I think there is still a dash alert that the hatch is open ?
I believe it would take a couple of months to burn out the battery with the dash hatch light. Literally... Definitely longer than I want to keep it open for 🤣👍
LOL LOL that would mean I had been eaten by a bear if it was open for that long 😂😂@@JimmyMeatwhistle
👍👍👍👍👍
Mr. Meatwhistle, you really need to silicone spray that seam. It shouldn't leak even if was lifted up. They didn't sow in the sealing strip I'm guessing.
Good tip. Yeah they possibly missed that, the tent is $300 Canadian so it's pretty cheap. But that also makes it that much cooler 😃
wait what....? a tent shouldnt leak like that :O
I love those tents, but they are so pricey.
I think it was only about $300 Canadian
Price about 2/3 less than when first came out. Reasonable now. Ideal on my 6 month solo cross country trip. I am in 70's. Recommend additional 6' x 12' awing along passenger side for privacy, bring extra paracord for easier solo set up & kiddy foam carpeting squares to tent floor for warmth & keep moisture away. If tent set up taut & good footprint makes heavy rains more comfortable.
God is awesome!
Sooo no one going to mention a person peeking through the windo?? 9:50 to like 10:15
And also are you aware that it’s coming home 🏴🏴🏴🏴😂😂
😆😆🍻
Hi Do you need some great lighting upgrade for free for your car to help you better driving, off-road and adventure.We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 yrs and w're looking for sponsorship!
Yes please, I do need some great lighting. 👍
@@JimmyMeatwhistle Appreciated! Is there an email to chat?
Jimmymeatwhistle@yahoo.com
Poor performance of that tent. Can be fixed with seam sealer though.
Do you block the back hatch button that shows on dash back hatch is open?
Wondering if light or battery would be ok for several days.
You know what. I can't recall it being on or even being an issue. I'm very aware of any lights being left on draining the battery. Hmmm.
dude points at leather thing "You know what thats for..."
Me, a guy who fishes off jettys, beaches and occasionally rockfishing - all in the ocean - "Nope! I have no idea what its for!"
Seam seal those lower seals. Also can’t see quite if it’s a bathtub floor from these images. If not & seam sits right at ground level, you will have issues due to design. That would be a shame for the price of these tents.
Great spot. You'll have to reseal it! I've always wanted to fly fish. That rain sucks
Great video! Love all the nature shots! Beautiful place !
Thank you, much appreciated 🍺👍
Great vid. Looks like you made the most of a rainy trip. 👍🏼
Thanks for the comment. It was definitely nice to have somewhere to go with all that rain 👍🍻
@@JimmyMeatwhistle I just bought the same tent. I’ll be testing it out soon. 🏕
Love the thunder 🖤🖤
Old Swill!! Cheeep Cheep Cheep! LOL
LOL that's right. That's how I save up for cool trucks, by buying cheap beer
Where is this location 😀
Alberta, Canada 👍
Beautiful!!!
Still waiting on my order it’s now 1/24/23 still nothing
Welp ima just add this tent to the do not buy list.
My brother had this tent and he loved it till a bear killed him
