![What I HATE about my ROOFTOP TENT (and what I love) [THULE TEPUI FOOTHILL]](/img/n.gif)
Can't stress enough on how well this video is made, to the point and answering all the possible questions one can think of during the video. Trully hats off in taking the time and sharing the experience.. cheers!
Thank you!! I appreciate the feedback!
Happy lady, eloquent, informative and pleasing personality. She sounds knowledgeable. Thanks for covering all tent angles. Magnifico.
Thank you Raul!
thats an awesome piece of kit , i went up scotland for a fortnight and came back 9 months later in something smaller than that , happy days , being off the ground is totally cleaner than my ultra lightweight backpacking tent on the ground
Excellent review , thanks for sharing.
Informative and entertaining.
Keep up the good work.
Great set up and great review. Was going to ask how it's secured but you covered it. Cheers
Thanks for watching G!
That’s an awesome tent, my hunting buddies and I have been looking to hunt out west and that would be a great solution for being mobile and camping! Thank you Allie! Keep the great vids coming!
Thanks for watching Christian!
Christian Skibinski get a Jumping Jack trailer instead of this thing...or a wall tent.
Congrats, by the way those mattress straps are for holding your bedding in place so you can leave your sleeping bag inside when closing.
Nice to see this cool rig up. I goo off-road most of my camping, dirtbike riding. I designed an aluminum tube rack for the bed of my truck, just a little higher than the cab. Always great to collect more information. Safe travels, have fun
Thanks for watching!! That sounds awesome!
Great video! I have been having a hard time figuring out how these things fold and unfold. Its an interesting concept, but I think I will stick with an airbed in the back of the vehicle. Quicker, simpler, and more stable in weather.
What a great review. Thanks for posting this!
Thanks for watching!
This is a great review! I always wondered about those tents! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Just started watching your channel I'm a huge outdoors men and I love your show
Thanks for watching Steve!
I so want one of these!! Vince and I were seeing what size would fit on his truck!
Thanks for the review. Great sense of humor too.
Thanks for watching Will!
one of the best reviews ive watched yet.
time to go pick mine up
Thanks for the input!
Excellent review, the best one yet. I just bought the Ayer Sky tent for my Subaru.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome tent I still prefer my bag and rugged tarp, my daughter loves you so much PHX wants me too buy one, so she can be like you. GOD BLESS
Outstanding video✋🏿you are so full of personality ❤️thank you for the encouragement ❤️I am in the process of buying one❤️thank you
Thanks for watching Margaret! You're going to love it!
Great vid! What kind of rack did you use to attach the tent to your truck?
Very good review! Thanks!
Great detailed review. I got one based on your detailed overview. Thanks!!
Great to hear! I hope you have so much fun!
Cool review seems like a neat tent
Another great vid tyvm
Here's my most recent Roof Top Tent video for anyone interested. Thanks for watching!!
th-cam.com/video/GIFrdAGauOQ/w-d-xo.html
This tent is so neat!
Very informative, thank you!
I believe the biggest advantage Ruggedized series is the thicker canvas and support poles which would stand up to high winds...
@1.52. the angle of the ladder doesn’t affect whether or not your tent will be level or not.
So odd you feature the truck top tent this week Allie! I spent maybe an aggravated hour looking through past trips in your vids not 10 days ago trying to find this tent!! lol Keep em' Coming!
Thans for watching!!
It's pricey ,but I can really see the great benefits of that tent. When you pack up-everything goes with you. When your sleeping at least you can know that no snakes will get you up there on the roof, and the bears, and other wildlife will not have such an easy access. and you get into places that a trailer will not go.
It's definitely convenient, thats for sure.
That is a awesome tent. I dont mind the extra time setting it up. Besides I can fit me my wife and two kids in it comfortably. Cool video👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching Mario!
What roof rack did you get for your truck? I am having a hard time finding one that can support enough weight. Thanks!
Great VID!
I'd use it. Looks like a nice product
Great video! Thank you! One question. Does the ladder provide support for the fold out section? Or is it fully supported by the internal frame. Just wondering what kind of torque is applied to the far side when a 240 lbs person climbs thru the door. Any chance the upward torque on the roof rack would damage the car? I'm looking at a much lighter system on an after market rack on a Ford Fusion.
The ladder does provide support. I don't think the upward torque would mess with the structure of the door frame, but ours did end up leaking a bit in really heavy rain.
very helpful because we have not much information of roof top tent in japan
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for making this video I design that I'm going to make something better really soon
Glad I could help!
Does she come with every New Tent?
Allie has a GREAT POTENTIAL FUTURE with whatever she wants to do!
That thing’s insane!
Love the review thanks.
Thanks for watching Rich!
Great set up and review. I really enjoy your videos and I am glad there are more girls out there that are into hunting and fishing like I am. I never knew that until I signed up on Instagram and saw all these huntresses and fishing women. Which makes me have hope. You have a loyal sub.
Thank you!!!!
Awesome video
Thank you this is cool
Glad you liked it Janine!
Do they make one of these to fit a larger person? I'm 6'4 and have a CA King bed at home because my feet hang off the end of a regular King bed. So, I need something where the bed is going to be maybe 80" long.
I'm really not sure. Nick is 6'1 and fits with plenty of room. Might be a little tight for you though.
Great presentation.
Thanks for watching!
What kind of dog are you guys gonna get!? Have you guys ever used the tent in a good storm? I always like these tents but have wondered how they would handle a heavy snow fall? or a good thunder shower with some strong winds?
You and Nick do great videos. So informative and helpful. I need to chat with Nick and get some tips on finding a lady like you in my age group....lol
LOL
Treeline makes a phenomenal product as well
Lol i feel like I'm snoting. Another great video
LOL
I want one of those!
The tent frame seems rugged enough, but I'm not sure it's a very good idea for that much weight to be on the top of the vehicle and the door frames.The price alone puts it out of my range. Interesting idea though.
Ron Weight and your vehicle is rendered unusable once you set up camp. Kinda kewl but not very practical.
I have the Autana 4 ruggerized. Love it!
Good to hear. We'll be using ours next weekend!
Do you still like it? looking for one and looking for real people comments on the 4 person. Thanks.
new sub...very solid review...helped me make up my mind to get one....happy hunting, fishing and living...#dontwalkbystopby
Thank you!
So awesome! I want one.
They are pretty dang cool!
Awesome information. I was wondering if there was any room inside when folded up for let's say a couple of pillows blankets or sleeping bags? Sometimes I think having that stuff in there can save on space elsewhere. Also I was wondering would it make any difference if the tent was left attached to the truck for a season or would that degrade anything?
I left mine attached for years. No issues! I think you could get away with leaving some sleeping bags in there but that's probably it.
How does it travel down the road with that style roof rack? Looks like it’s the type that hooks in the door instead of bolted to the top.
No bumping or moving. Does make a little noise though when going over 60mph.
fine review Allie!
Does that ladder act as a support pole for the tent floor in the unfolded, open position? Or, is the hinge, in the open position, connecting the portion of the floor over the vehicle to the portion connected to the ladder, strong enough to handle whatever weight from people in the tent are on the portion of the floor connected to the ladder? If that made any sense...
Yes, the ladder acts as a support pole.
is there enough room to keep a couple of pillows and a blanket in the tent when you put it away for storage between adventure locations?
Not this particular model. Maybe a blanket.
Hi Allie I’m looking for one of these for boondocking hunting on the prarrie how much trouble was it to attach to you truck ? Does it come with the bars to attach to your truck or did you add that before putting the tent on ? Thanks
No, I had to purchase the bars separately. Attaches relatively easily.
@@OutdoorsAllie I guess I have to decide if I wanna mount over my cab or over my pick up shell probably won’t purchase till next spring, so I’ll look at some other brands and mounting options .
That thing is cool!
Excellent presentation!
Thanks for watching!
Omg I just passed y’all on the freeway outside of Forsyth Mt.!. I seen the bow target in the back of your truck and the worn and weathered stick so I pulled along side you and honked and waved.!. P.s. how pretty was the sun through the smoky sky beautiful right.!. Look forward to meeting y’all in person someday.!.
No way!! I must not have been paying attention lol, sorry! It was an absolutely beautiful drive.
Any issues carrying these on clamp on roof rack? Wanted to get cheap one for my escape but no rails lol.
We did have it come loose once. Thankfully we caught it. If you do go that route, make sure it's tight every week or so!
Dang. Just looked and the ruggadized version you have starts at $4000 here in Canada
G Lewis They aren't cheap, but I lived out of mine for almost a month when I was making the move/drive from AK back down to the 48. Loved every minute of it.
20% off all new Tepui tents currently through their website.
Stupid price. Should be around $500 for what you get
Are those Thule roof racks? Cause I tried them and my 2013 F-150 doors wouldn’t shut correctly. Have you had that problem?
Yes. Our doors shut properly, however we do have water leak in sometimes. Pain in the ass!
Allie best you tube video,yes pretty girl and Nick lucky guy.Nailed it over and over.the explanation.The roof top tent.Thank you
Thanks for watching!
So per Ford, the rook rack weight limit is about 165 lbs for that truck. Did you reinforce the roof rack area to compensate for the extra weight of the tent, gear and humans?
Thank you!
We installed a Thule AeroBlade.
Gary Braden 165 is the dynamic weight rating when the truck is moving, static weight rating is generally much higher.
looks amazing ., probably won't go with orange one even though it looks nice when you inside.,the orange one would do my head in
great video thumbs up from the uk
It has been great for us. Thanks Jake!
Jake the blaze orange is used for safety in hunting. Most know enough not to ever shoot if they see anything orange. Since a turkey can have blue and red look to it like a Pepsi can those colors are not safe in hunting areas. If you are camping during a hunting season even if you do not hunt having the orange is a good safety item. You could be in the tent just to grab something or nap in the middle of the day.
Not sure if you’ll even see this, but I also have an F150 and everyone was suggesting against the Thule rack style that clips on the doors like yours. Since you’ve likely had this a while, has the roof rack ever given you any problems or caused any damage to the truck? I’d like to still run this style with a tent too
It is very noisy and has caused our door seals to leak.
Mine is getting delivered tomorrow 😄
You're going to love it!
Great video and review. Do you leave the tent on full time or take if off when not in use? I'd think I would want to leave it on full time based on the weight and storage space needed if I took it off. Thx.
Thanks Rick! We leave it on the majority of the time. Only taken it off a couple times.
awesome product. I live in the wind rivers and when we get wind that thing wouldn't last. . or else that would be a strong interest
It probably WOULD last -- people use these in all kinds of weather and all seasons/all year long -- wind, rain, snow.
Tepui is a top-quality brand, and secondly this is their "ruggedized" model, not the typical/average rooftop tent. BIG difference.
-- BR
I've been wanting to get one of these lately, BUT I don't want it on the roof of my truck, I want it on the bed of my truck, BUT I need to install a strong enough retractable "tonneau" bed cover that can hold it and wont sag. I've got some research to do 🤔
Nice truck BTW, I have an extended cab Ford F150 FX4
Thanks for the Birthday wishes!! I saw your comment from the other video.
Easy E diamondbackcovers.com
Easy E it isn't letting me copy and past for some reason but search for Pace Edwards Jack Rabbit Tonneau Cover and it may be what you're looking for. It comes with built in cross bars that would mount a cargo basket or rooftop tent.
Really neat idea, to put it in the bed.
Easy E just buy a nice topper and you'll basically have the same thing for less $$.
Pretty nice Nick, did I understand there is (some) storage in it when it is collapsed pillows ,bags ,ect . Thanks kids
No storage when collapsed besides the mattress that is provided. Thanks for watching!
Amazing
I really want an orange one but can't find
Nice Review !! Thanks
Whats the roof weight limit for your truck ?
I cant remember honestly, but we bought a Thule rack with the highest weight capacity. Thanks for watching!
It seems to me another con would be if you want to go somewhere town to get groceries or whatever you would have to take down tent just to use vehicle every time u wanna go somewhere! And at 4000 dollars I will stick to a nice used trailer that I can disconnect and go somewhere! Just my opinion
Jay Hurst exactly...kewl idea but not practical!
Set up and take down doesn't take long, but that is a valid point. Thanks for watching Jay!
Jay Hurst pretty sure her and her bf bring eco friendly bikes.
Look up the iKamper tent....opens completely and closes completely within about a minute. No guidelines to deal with, just flip it open, pull out the ladder, and done!
Jay Hurst These tents's were originally designed for the bush, were no grocery stores were anywhere near.
Well done.
Thanks Rich!
Did you do theater? You have all of the facial and hand gestures down perfect. Adorable review, the first one I actually made it through on these tents. It is 20 months after your review do you still like it? I am new to seeing your channel so if you have done another video sorry. Liked, subscribed and will go through more of your videos. I hope you 2 are having fun someplace and be safe.
Thank you! No theater for me LOL. Yes, we used it alot last summer and it performed flawlessly. Plan on using it this summer again!
Very cool
So if your out and its raining all day you get to lay in there. Plus you have to fold it back up if you want to go somewhere? I like my class A and i pull a jeep behind it.
Class A would defiantly be nice!
well, when you get old like me you can afford it.. :)
Is this weight/weight of 2 people inside ok for the roof of the truck? Seems like the metal platform is heavy lol. I thought these tents were designed for the beds of trucks
I would rather have it in the bed, but we used it this way for 2 years and never had an issue.
Love the concept. I enjoy sleeping up high. Biggest no go is no big dog access. Can't imagine making the boys sleep outside in a crate.
Ya, getting a dog up there wouldn't be ideal.
My cute little puppy weighs 183. Leaving him home is not an option. Thanks!
I built a ramp for my dogs. It breaks down for travel, and makes a convenient clutter free layer in the vehicle for the dogs to rest on.
I keep my dog in his crate under my tent in my bed of my truck while sleeping. Truck bed offers more warning time and concealment for any unwanted animal intruders...just a thought. My tent is mounted on a rack, on my truck bed, that’s even with the truck roof line when traveling.
Good idea. Thank you!
@Nick, dude, she's a keeper. And the tent ain't bad either. Cheers
How did you get it up on the roof? they are so heavy I can't imagine being able to get it on top of the roof! How did you decide on going roof vs mounting over the bed?
Its heavy, takes 2 people for sure. If i had to go back i would mount it on the bed next time. Thanks for watching!
Crazy question..... where can I find your gloves? I’d love to get those for a friend.
Right here! amzn.to/3nhFevm
Thanks for watching David!
the Siesta Mattress is amazing for these tents
I'll check it out!
That's cool
Looks to be a really well made tent. How does it handle high winds, any issue with the overhang area in the wind?
No issue other than a little noisy sometimes, but think that is the roof rack. It seems to start making a whistle noise around 70 mph
I was questioning when it is set up. Does the wind ever get under the overhang and kind of rock the truck?
I was using this last week in 50 mph winds and it held up fine. A little wind flap but nothing crazy.
So which model tent is this exactly? I love it!thank you so much!
Thanks for watching. Im glad you liked it. This is the 3 person autana ruggedized

Amazing job on the review loved it. Also like your editing skills .
You have my subscription would love to have your support as well.
Thanks again for sharing

👊🏻
Thanks. I'll check it out!
Nice tent. Ventilation is so important.
It sure helps!
Can you rotate that around so that the ladder comes down in the bed of the truck?
Unfortunately, no.
@@OutdoorsAllie Thank you. Let the fun adventures continue.
I have the same aeroblade roof rack, correct me if I'm wrong but I Don't think that rack and footpack is made for that much weight.
This is what I was recommended by the dealer, but i'll do a little more research!
Curious... how come not mount the rooftop tent on the bed?
If I had side rails I would prefer that method.
Great presentations and I didn’t legalize that the video was over 18 min. Long. I’ve been bamboozled.
LOL Thanks for watching!
looks like a good idea, what are the price range for something like this ?
This is around $2,000
