One of the best TH-cam video's of a product supplier i have ever seen Straight up, Honest, Open, No Spin and Salesman rubbish. Buy Once, Cry Once Buy Cheap, Buy Twice!
The only downside i see in this against any regular family camping tent is that, if its a long camping trip and you happen to forget or run out of essentials is that you have to pack away everything again just to buy or get to re supply your essentials, however little or trivial that may be, guess you just have to cut that camping trip short, or just really plan well everything ahead, up to the smallest of details and possible surprises, which i truly doubt.
Thanks for the video. FYI to commentators, if you carry a 4x6 trailer with 2 dirt bikes or an ATV you can have camp set up and not need to unpack to do longer/faster exploring. Heck even a bicycle can cover long distances and no need for gasoline or petrol. Tents and most material things in life cost. Some spend the money on tents, camping, travelling etc. Some choose other things, it is not that important what other choose but it is important to know it is possible.. I know no limit as to how many ways there is to live, especially to live happy.
I bought a secondhand howling moon rtt. Couple of queries. The bottom of the ladder separates from the top when unfolding the tent. Should there be springs or pins to stop it doing this? Also when the tent is open, is it just the ladder that hold the weight of the floor that is not over the car roof?
Just wondering if there any issues with the weight on the top of the car. I know the roof racks will support the weight but, Holden for example, only allow 70kg. Roof rack and tent will be closer to 80+kg not sure if that voids insurance
I have a Ford F-150 with us 6-6 box what would you recommend coming off the back of the truck or the side that truck to accommodate four people with an Annex. I originally thought coming off the back of the truck so you could access cargo and Luggage inside the truck from Under the Tent and through the annex does that make sense in terms of optimal setup. Also when you arrive and you're stuck with a storm and it's raining hard I was thinking that if you come off the back getting your gear out of the truck and Under the Tent inside the annex gear would stay dryer and it would be faster to unload in tough conditions cheers..Canada's watching
I appreciate the video and information, but for the amount of use I will get out of mine, I will pay $680 for a Kings roof top with annexe. $3k is just not feasible unless I was spending months in it.
Thank you so much for putting this video together! You answered all my questions and you definitely sold me on Howling Moon Tents. Personally I'm the kind of guy who prefers to spend a little more if I know I'm getting high quality materials.
sent howling moon many emails, got no reply back, just bought the star gazer, supposed have been the 75mm high density foam mattress, but I have been supplied with the 70mm and feels very soft, not high density,,? and lots of light thru pin holes in the fly sheet.. any idea?
@howlingmoonaustralia4237 Yeah, I’m getting the same. Have been emailing since early November and struggle to get replies and answers from information THEY have requested from me to ensure everything is compatible. Last I emailed was a week after Christmas and I’m still waiting for a reply (30th Jan). Even tried contacting Andre but nothing. Considering I’m looking at spending $7k on a package they don’t seem to interested in making a sale. Starting to wonder if I should just look elsewhere.
I have seen all the different makes and original types in Australia, all I seem to find here, in CANADA, is the cheap Chinese copies. Understanding the cost of shipping something like this is crazy, I’m sure
Is your roof top tent available in the USA? Just curious? Thanks for the videos, plz, keep them coming? Thanks again Eric Sulen, Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
Are Howling Moon roof tents available in the USA? Just curious? If these are available in the USA can you send me the information? Thank You for your time. Thanks again Eric Sulen Grand Rapids Michigan, USA.
Why do people watch these reviews then feel the need to bag out the product? No-one is holding a gun to your head telling you to use it,nor did anyone make you watch the video pretty sure that was a choice you made alone then went on to purpossly troll the vid.. bloody muppets.. Looks like a great product,enjoyed the review..
The main reason I can’t use a RTT after price is when I go camping I like to be able to drive around during the day without having to fold up my tent every day. You could say I like having a base camp type scenario when I’m camping. And a RTT just doesn’t work for that style of camping. Sorry mate
2:31 you say something about you'll show us later how you can hang off the extrusion. Not exactly sure what you mean, but I was keen to see it, but you didn't show us later.
I believe he is referring to the strength of the hinge where the base folds out. Imagine the tent base is folded out completely, but without the ladder there to support the floor that hangs over the side of the vehicle, then he would hold onto where the ladder hangs from. Hopefully that makes sense/is what he was referring to!
Idea why not design a roof top tent with azdale pannels that have frameless windows and door that flip up and down from the top and bottom that swevil latch lock into place from within the tent to make a hard shell tent for a full season tent? 😕
Finding level groud is hard enough let alone finding a place for your 4x4 - then there's the potential for falling limbs from tree's ect - I also wouldn't want to pack it up wet nor would I want to be touring with it or climbing down a ladder at 3am to take a wiz. I guess it works for some.
Idea, gallium aluminum alloy will produce hydrogen from water. Why not design a solor powered small Joe cell fill it half way with aluminum gallium alloy and then fill the rest of the joe cell up with urine then pass electrical frequency through joe cell to process HHO from the urine that charges solid state sponge hydrogen power cells? Then those hydrogen power cells can be used to operate electrical power generators heating systems absorption refrigeration units and to cook food and heat water. Design a system to be used with your roof top tent shelter system. 😊 What do you think about this unique concept? This is a base concept simple a more advanced concept is available if your interested? 😊
And I will continue to use a rooftop tent until crocodiles learn how to climb ladders. Great video but it looks like you should be taking the occasional sip of a beer. Thank You.
If you have a choice of identical sizes, I'd think a hard top is the easier choice. But I haven't seen any hard tops with as much space is many non-hard tops.
I agree a hardtop would be better than our folding rtt in some areas, primarily setup and takedown, but they lack some of the advantages such as size (ours is very large) and the shelter from the overhang. They are also more expensive.
I'd say the hard tops are over rated. Add a grand to the cost, you lose space and often times the canvas isn't as good. All this to have a hard transporting shell?
Suuurrreeeee, you really love the roof top. What else are you going to say, "Yep, that roof top tent we paid a zillion dollars for REALLY sucks! Can't believe what a sucker I was!". Nah, you really love your roof top tent. But, seriously, it really sucks doesn't it?
Roof top tents are only good for very short term use and fucking annoying if you want to go explore in the car it's mounted to. Pack up and unpack pack up and unpack...... OR you mount it on a tradesman trailer and leave it set up 😉😁
I didn't really need to watch the guy talk. Why didn't they show the things he was talking about while he was talking about them. Also, why not slow down. He talked like we knew what he was talking about and he didn't elaborate on anything. I will tell may friends to avoid this product because I think they are hiding something, or else they would have shown the system rather than just the guy talking about it.
He talks for 17 minutes discussing a range of essential pieces of information on what you should look for when purchasing a RTTT. If you take a look at the Howling Moon history back in Africa you will see that they are one of the best in the their field in what they do and only use the best components. Why be so naive with this comment when you should take a look at the website or contact the company on a personal level asking for YOUR specific requests instead of commenting a negative post...
Because I can. If not for me no one would pay any attention to your simpering little video. I make it what it is. I am the motivator and innovator. You're welcome.
Why are you telling people to avoid this product. I think the product looks great. I hate the video because he mostly showed himself and I wanted to see the equipment. You shouldn't run around trying to destroy a product simply because you are pissed that I don't want to see this guy's face. I want to see more of what the equipment will do buy obviously you want to destroy the product by telling people to not buy it.
you were the one who said "I will tell may friends to avoid this product because I think they are hiding something, or else they would have shown the system rather than just the guy talking about it." not once did i say that i personally was going to be telling anyone to avoid the product - quite the opposite. you are the one that said you would tell your friends to avoid it? do you have a disability because i feel bad saying this if you do.

Great video! I like that you know you’re product inside out, you’re clear, honest, straight forward and I like this! I’ll be getting one!!!!

Hey Andre, great SA accent for an Oz! Nice product, thanks
Are your tents available in Canada? Great video, you sold me.

Interested too.
You seem annoyed.... haha. Awesome looking tents. I'll definitely take a look at them at the next show in Brisbane! All the best!

How waterproof are these?(hydrostatic head rating).
What is the base of the tents composition (in between the aluminium base).

Honest answer also please... Your tent compared to the ARB Simpson 3?
Howling moon are better? How does the HM tent hold up the heavy rainy weather?
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing :)

Hi what is the issue with Howling Moon in SA. Website is down and cant get anyone of the distributors to get hold of stock from them
Marais Kotze went bust
What brand is your camper?
2:31 you say something about you'll show us later how you can hang off the extrusion. Not exactly sure what you mean, but I was keen to see it, but you didn't show us later.
Hi yes, we did mention it but forgot to add it. There is another video we do show it...i will get my guys to send a link.

I really like the canopy on the ranger but I cant see the manufacturer on it

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, thanks. 👍
Good review mate 👍
This is what Hugh Jackman has become after Wolvereen?????
Finding level groud is hard enough let alone finding a place for your 4x4 - then there's the potential for falling limbs from tree's ect - I also wouldn't want to pack it up wet nor would I want to be touring with it or climbing down a ladder at 3am to take a wiz.
I guess it works for some.
Can i buy theese tents here in Sweden?
Looking for a US rep?
can one person set up roof top and pull it down again
Veralee Brand Brand easily
Can do if you have one of these th-cam.com/video/xQd45vUTBM0/w-d-xo.html :)
Yes they are easy if you are ok with climbing up and down both sides of the vehicle to tuck away the loose bits
Nice Video 👍

Just burb when you gotta burb. That's alright. 👌😉
What did he say?
And I will continue to use a rooftop tent until crocodiles learn how to climb ladders.
Great video but it looks like you should be taking the occasional sip of a beer. Thank You.
alucab all the way, they have everything you need
Do you sell these in the US?
Hi Steve, as I understand they are still setting up a dealer.
If I buy a 106 and ship pay for shipping to US, will howling moon work with me?
All Roof top tents are way overpriced
Tell me about it - it's basically a pop up on ply wood which hooks into your roof rack + ladder !! At best £300 - £400
This bloke looks like Hugh Jackman's South African brother Lol...
The folding rtts are over rated, I'd rather have a hard top.
Hi Jordan yes we cater for rtts and now have a hard shell called the Lunar
If you have a choice of identical sizes, I'd think a hard top is the easier choice. But I haven't seen any hard tops with as much space is many non-hard tops.
Jordan Yang lol some rttts are hard tho
I agree a hardtop would be better than our folding rtt in some areas, primarily setup and takedown, but they lack some of the advantages such as size (ours is very large) and the shelter from the overhang. They are also more expensive.
I'd say the hard tops are over rated. Add a grand to the cost, you lose space and often times the canvas isn't as good. All this to have a hard transporting shell?
Imagine how many they would sell if the price was more competitive. This guy doesn’t realize that most people don’t understand everything he’s saying.
Suuurrreeeee, you really love the roof top. What else are you going to say, "Yep, that roof top tent we paid a zillion dollars for REALLY sucks! Can't believe what a sucker I was!". Nah, you really love your roof top tent. But, seriously, it really sucks doesn't it?

you're not showing the tent/camping properly. You talk & most of the time only you're seen.
1500 nights in a cheap ebay roof tent. Don't pay any more than you have to - they're just ripping you off.
I didn't really need to watch the guy talk. Why didn't they show the things he was talking about while he was talking about them. Also, why not slow down.

You talk way to much I didn’t get to finish the video because you blabbed on and on
rip off
bad vids!
