I gather it's for sleeping under the stars, but what of the condensation when all openings are closed up for rain cover/wind breaking? Has anyone defeated the wretched condensation talked about in some other reviews? If so, how? I really wanted to get one and still do, just need to hear solid problem solving.
Looks great for the price, I myself have a tentbox light 2.0 yes it's a little more expensive but, it's very well engineered and built from high quality materials. I've just returned from a trip to Lindisfarne on the North East coast, it never stopped raining for two days and with strong winds blowing over 30ks per hour, it really did show how well built it really is!
I looked at this yesterday in the Go store. Still undecided between this and the new Tentbox lite 2.0 But given the wife won't go camping no more this is probably as much as I need for myself and the bike on the towbar. I was thinking about the Campal estate in car bed setup if my son wanted to come as well, two apartment on the cheap.
Funniest thing in this video - buddy has absolutely no idea what is called safe angle for the ladder, luckily no "expert campers" were harmed while filming :))))
Seen this today in Go outdoors and wanted it immediately :) Time to save.. Thanks for the review, I hope its holding out well for you
Do you have a blue light card/know someone who does? They offer discount, and it saves a lot :)
@@NEWcmtproductionsmisuse of the system if you’re not a blue light worker, people like you are the ones who abuse and lose the benefits of it

Looks good. Thanks for sharing 👍
Just got one from GO Outdoors for £595 - think I've got a bargain with the added 15% discount available this month.
Have you tried it out?
Interesting...........but I'm afraid the "muzak" was a distraction?

It is very good for the money! Awesome bits of kit from tentbox 👍
I'm thinking about buying one of these, do you think it will attach onto a Suzuki sx4?
Go for it! Yes I don’t see why not
£650..... great
Great video - how comfy is it for 2 people? Spacious or quite snug? Unsure whether to go for this or the tentbox lite for the extra space.
I would say say it’s perfectly fine for average sized people but for people on the larger side it would be tight.
Now down to 689£
What are the dimensions when closed please?
Any issues with condensation??
Yes if you shut all openings completely but the same as all tents I guess
Why can you see the mattress from underneath. That must get wet if it heavy rain when driving.
It’s a second layer of foam which is waterproof so can’t go through to the actual mattress.
@@chrisandabbietravels Does the mattress stay in when its closed ? thanks

What is the rating in kg's of your roof bars? Surely two, or even just one adult is over the limit? 🤔
I don’t know the ratings off the top of my head but the static rating (when parked) is plenty for two people
@@chrisandabbietravels I didn't realise there were static and dynamic ratings.
Won’t be over as it’s the dynamic roof load you need to worry about.
2 man is not really true. It's a generous 1 man. I was hoping for a bit more room😢
what roof bars do you run with this roof tent considering buying one just not sure what roof bars are best suited for it
We just used Halfords own brand with adapters for the model of car
What’s the wind noise like when driving?
It’s better than I thought it would be tbh
how long did it take to fold up again?
It takes around 2mins to fold up, it’s really easy.
dont other campers laugh at you and also this makes you a sitting duck if done on the road?
We see quite a people using the same or similar roof tent. It’s cheaper than a caravan and slightly better than a tent on the floor 👍
right, but do you use it in random locations in non campsites?@@chrisandabbietravels
What's room like for two people etc
It’s ok if you’re an average size person, probably a little tight if you are a larger person.
Where did you get your roof bars from ? Plz
Those ones are Halfords own brand
What car is it on bud?do you need roof bars first?
It was on a Seat Leon. Yes you do need roof bars 👍
What roof rack do you use?
It is just a cheap Halfords branded one with adapters to fit the model of car
That's a impressive bit of kit that didn't even have a clue they done a tent like that
Pretty awesome ain’t it 😀
What size of nuts did you buy.
Can’t remember sorry but you can measure the diameter of the bolts to get the size of nut you need.
Can you leave your bedding in there?
We haven’t tried leaving anything in there but could probably leave a duvet, not sure about pillows.
Tried it with my quilt today. Wouldn’t fit unfortunately but was worth a try lol
