- In this video I ventured out to Clinton state park in Lawrence Kansas in January 2022 for some runs with the Rogue and SUV tent. All went well the first night (IT WAS COLD), but I had to cut the trip short for personal matters.
On trip two a few weeks later, I go over some of the concerns I came across with the tent attaching to the 21 Rogue and possibility of water entering the tent, etc. I also go over some addition's to the camp gear.
*If you want to skip to the tent attaching matter I encountered related to the Rogue, go to time marker 51:10.
Thank you for your visit, best to you and yours in the "Still" trying and challenging times our world is in.
Thanks for this video. Is there any concern about leaving the car trunk open for a 2-3 trip and the battery. No one ever talks about the fact that the tent attaches to the open trunk and it stays open.
I was thrilled to stumble upon this video because I just ordered this very tent to go on *my* Rouge when I SUV camp at a festival next month. Thanks for sharing! I have read on other videos that they used magnets to secure the sides.
Glad I could share _ Yeah, I'm using those thin magnetic strips on the outside of the tent material and affixing the to the side of the vehicle, works well. Thank you.
Alison , have you tried yours yet ?
@@donnawhitehouse7630 Yes ma’am! I just used it this past week for a 5 night festival camping excursion! It performed wonderfully well! Set up was a breeze! It rained for two days straight and I never had any leaks! I did spray it before the trip with a can of the rain repellant from Walmart and it did the trick! I loved it. Loved the hanging carabiner in the middle to hand my tent light. It easily held a full size air mattress and four women’s clothing and make up bags for 6 days. I got an SUV air mattress off of Walmart.com and another woman I slept in the Rouge and the other two ladies slept on the air mattress. I’m so happy I went with this tent.
@@allisonbuckles4943 I'm even more excited now I buy one !!! Thank you so much for the response .
Thanks for submitting your review...am considering this brand b4 making my decision, much appreciated and best of luck on all your future trips!
Thanks so much for posting this ! I also have a Rogue and am just about to buy an SUV tent. I've watched alot of videos tonight and I like this tent . I was just going to tell you that in another video they used magnets . The magnets actually came with the tent in the other video. I'm glad you were able to come up with a satisfying solution . I wouldnt have liked that gap either. Hope you and your wife and enjoying RV camping.
Thank you for the comments. I thought about the magnets, going to give them a try on the sides. Best to you ;-)
I have the same tent for my SUV. Magnets are a great help concerning any gaps you may incur. Plus they pack away really well. Also tucking the flaps inside work well too!
Cool > Thank you so much for your first hand experience, I will implement the magnets and update my experience as well, again thank you.. ;-) Best to you/
Great video!
Thank you, appreciate the comment. Working on some videos about camping in the Pathfinder.
I crawled out of the woods Monday on a 3 day solo camp. I did one of these in a little less than 45 mins. I actually impressed myself!😂😂😂 If I can do it anyone can!😁
Awesome > Always enjoy lifes adventures right > /
@@livineachday2300 I try and go once a month for two days. 4 yrs ago almost 5, two of my 3 kids were killed. It's my therapy!❤️
Great video. What is the brand of mattress is that? Can you start your vehicle to charge your battery while it’s connected?
Great video, thanks !!! I'm researching SUV tents right now for the upcoming season ! How did this tent do in the rain and wind, any leaking ? Have you 'fine-tuned' your technique for setting the tent up solo, based on your camping experiences so far ?
Again, thanks !!
Had some pretty knarly winds when I camped last with this tent, and it held up fine, just assure some window flaps are left open a bit to allow wind to pass thru, if you can. No leaks whatsoever in the rain thus-far, two trips. Yes, I have fine tuned setup by watching my videos and observating my shortrcomings, patience always helps as well.
I can't help but think that it would be easier to bring the tent to the vehicle rather than bringing the vehicle to the tent :)
I like the magnet idea. I noticed one sandbag was folded in half. If you can tie your sandbags together, will they hang over enough to cover the tent gap over those rear wheels?
Great idea, thank y ou so much... ;-) - Going to try with the pathfinder and will update soon.
I have attempted to watch this video several times. Please place the camera in a better position on your body. It is too high.
Yeah, I was in "Learning" mode, well more like "Beginner" mode with doing these types and have learned alot, to include your input. Thank you for the mention as it reinfirces my then shortcomings.
Sorry but I can not see a thing your doing with the boot part of the tent😢
If the tailgate open for a long time it wont discharge the battery?
I can turn it off on my vehicle.
I have a Napier almost identical to yours and was unable to solo set it up. Did not have the strength to bend those poles with the weight of the tent on them😢
It was a mind over matter for me sor sure. Wife doesn't camp like this, so up to me to go solo on these adventures and the task at hand. To me, sometimes feels like their going to break, but I just think, I I gots me some good ole duct tape > LOL.
@@livineachday2300 - then again, some thinking outside the box may even contact the company and request them to send/replace a couple poles due to breakage...they usually won't ask for proof...one can then have couple spares on hand jic a breakage does indeed happen...save that expensive duct tape for when absolutely needed...just sayin ; )
Will this tent work if i don't have a roof rack?
Yes, the tent comes with long straps that you may be able to attach them to other points on the vehicle.
If suvs and truck tents had been around in the 1970’s , I would bought the suv , tent set up instead of a 1974 pop up.
HAHAHAHAH > Tru that...
Sorry, but this was unwatchable for me. The loud rustling noises were extremely aggravating. Camera position was not good. Otherwise, a good video.
