I noticed your hardshell tent is on the cab part of the truck. I have a roof rack with basket there and would like to put in over the fiberglass camper shell. I can't seem to find much information if my shell can hold the weight of the tent plus two people ( around 375 lbs). I would guess I really have to beef up the top of the shell first with some fancy rack system.
How was the roof top tent driving down the road with the wind? How does the truck handle? I plan on getting the same setup as yours just recently bought the warrior products roof rack.
Hi Erica, I'm glad you are here! Check out some of our recent videos to get caught up on what we are doing and where we are at! Hope you are doing well.
It's not too heavy for the canopy but it does put more stress on it and it was easier to mount the rack to the cab as it just bolted in, where the canopy would have to have to have a rail system installed first. Great question.
I bought the next generation of that same tent, in part, due to your great vids. They made a few changes but the gen2 is mostly the same. The next version is supposed to be quite different and should arrive early next year. We're excited to get out and try the new jeep tree house. Thx!
Hey that's awesome! We really have enjoyed ours and it has been a good place for us to sleep on this trip we are on when we aren't staying with friends.
How does having this tent on the roof affect driving? Is there a lot of wind noise? How do you store the tent when not in use? I could not drive my Jeep in the garage with this tent mounted.
No wind noise, it lowered our MPG by 1. We didn't have a garage as we were traveling so that wasn't an issue. I know a lot of people hoist it up to the ceiling in their garage for storage. I would say to get one only if you are an avid camper and you can keep it on your roof at all times. They are expensive and I think a lot of people get them because they are cool and then they don't use them that much. We used ours a lot and then sold it once we were done traveling.
I hate to sound like a critic but for those who haven't seen this yet? SKIP the first 5 minutes unless you just want to see him driving his truck real slow. TENT SET-UP begins as 5:05. ;-)
Do you have a video of you mounting that roof top tent to the roof of your truck does your truck have the stock roof rack or did you install a different one do you have a video mounting tent
This is the closest video we have to installing it: th-cam.com/video/hKbirv2YAY0/w-d-xo.html We bought a warrior roof rack: amzn.to/2B8i7PX (affiliate)
got it from chernebeats.com. I usually have the reference in the video description at the bottom p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial; color: #ffffff; color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.88)} span.s1 {font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000} span.s2 {font-kerning: none; background-color: #111111}
Yes they have different colored fabrics and you'd have to ask them if they have different thicknesses. The tent does great in the wind and all weather situations. We've seen a wide variety of conditions in this tent

Thanks for the video. I'm not getting the roof rack model from the link, what is the name? Thx!
Hi There,
Just wondering what brand of roof rack this is and where can you get it from? Im trying to mount the same style tent on my dual cab ute
Thanks for the review, how’s the waterproofing?
Could you provide a link to the light, usb panel and wiring you used for your tent?
That tent is amazing 😉 looks spacious!
Yeah it's pretty cozy. We Really like it.
hi , how was the tent in wind and what's your thoughts with snow? thanks great video

Nice..
Loved the view..
Thanks!
Awesome videos! Subscribed and notification bell clicked on.
Thanks Noel! Hope you are having a great day today.
Pretty cool tent, my wife wouldn't enjoy it but I could handle it for a few nights but I really like my bed and living on the ranch.
Yeah it's pretty comfortable and definitely beats sleeping on the ground!
great editing!!!!
Thanks! Appreciate the comment! It was a fun day even though it was pretty cold at the top.
How did I get here? I’m subscribing lol 😆

That's a pretty dope set up I want to do something similar but I'm wondering why you wouldn't mount the tent on your cap. Is it too heavy for it?
It's not too heavy for the canopy but it does put more stress on it and it was easier to mount the rack to the cab as it just bolted in, where the canopy would have to have to have a rail system installed first. Great question.
How do you go to the bathroom in the middle of the night?

What roof rack did you use to support the weight of you plus your tent??
Axe Family I think maybe you sent the wrong link there?

Do you and your brother ranch together and when you are travelling is he going to remain on the ranch? Will he be shooting any videos on the ranch?
Yes he is staying at the ranch. He might make some videos, but the majority of the videos will be coming from me. Thanks for asking.

Thanks
Thanks I was just about to look for another video
Great vid!! Get caught in the rain with it yet? How did it do??
Not yet, we've been lucky to have people that want to take us in when it's been rainy but it has handled the rain fine while it has been down.
Any ideas on the song used at the start? :)

HOW DID THE TENT DO WITH ALL THE WIND ! DO CVT HAVE DIFFERENT FABRICS FOR THE TENTS ?
Yes they have different colored fabrics and you'd have to ask them if they have different thicknesses. The tent does great in the wind and all weather situations. We've seen a wide variety of conditions in this tent
