Hey guys, today we're going to be checking out the Yakima Skyrise tent. Now this right here speaks for itself. It's an elevated tent that can be mounted directly to your vehicle's roof rack system. It saves you the hassle of actually setting up a tent. You don't need to worry about rough terrain, uneven ground, mud, snow, sand. This way you can pull up to your favorite spot and relax almost immediately.
Let's climb up and take a look.Now the attached ladder is going to allow us to access our tent. It also supports our tent when folded out. That way when we're inside and we're putting weight down, it's going to help prop up this side of the tent. Now it's made out of aluminum, so we don't need to worry about any rust or corrosion. And it's also adjustable for various heights of vehicles.
So whether we're using a lifted truck or a lifted SUV, it's going to work out just fine. It's going to be right around that eight foot range that'll extend out to, so more than enough.Going to open up our first window here and we've got a screen. That way we can enjoy that fresh air with it open. In order to leave it open, you can roll up that front window and attach it to the anchors at the top. We'll just feed it through the loop and it stays in place.
We'll do that on both sides.Now this tent is pretty comparable to other tents out there. And what I mean is, it features more than just one vented window throughout the tent. We'll show you more of those when we get inside the tent. What I would like to say is that the material is really heavy duty. We don't need to worry about the wind causing any damage.
It's going to hold up very well. To get through the second vent, just unzip it as you did the front flap. This one you can roll up just as easy.Here on the inside, it's pretty spacious. Let's open up the rest of the windows and let in a little bit more light. We've got two on the side, one behind us, and two on the roof. And these two are vented so we can feel that fresh air.With everything opened up, we can see a bit better. Let's point out some of the cool features. First off this tent comes with a two and a half inch thick foam mattress. A lot of tents don't come with mattresses, this one does. So we don't need to worry about picking up anything extra. It's easily removable, that way we can clean it. It extends wall to wall. It's going to be more than enough room for three people.Here on the side it features three support rods. Now these extend up and over to the other side. They are made out of aluminum. Again, we don't need to worry about any rust or corrosion. These are permanently installed. They're already pre-tightened. We don't need to worry about putting anything together. We don't need to worry about any elastic cords. This is all what allows our tent to be nice and tight when folded out. In each corner features a pocket to help keep our smaller items organized. Things like our wallet, keys, cell phone, items like that. The elastic cord on top is going to help it keep tight to the tent, that way nothing can fall out.Now the whole tent is made with a weather resistant fabric with a waterproof coating. But it is not 100 percent waterproof. If you're going to be caught in stormy weather or a huge downpour, I recommend installing the included rain fly. With the rain fly installed, you can see that it covers the entire tent. It includes flexible metal rods, that's going to help pull it out side to side, prevent that water from pooling on top. This way it can just run off the side and it's not going to run into your tent. It's actually going to act as a nice windbreaker and prevent that window from just going straight into your tent. This is going to help slow it down. It's going to be especially great for when you still want your tent vented.Here on the inside, you can see that it too features support rods. It has three to help keep that bend over the top of our tent. It's also going to add support. Also throughout the inside, it features buckles. This is going to help keep that rain fly attached to our tent and keep it nice and stable throughout our adventure. I do recommend that if you're going to be using the rain fly, it can act like a sail. I would use the included ropes and stakes. It's just going to prevent the Skyrise from lifting up when we're not inside of it.Here on the inside of the tent you can actually see the rain fly in action. You can hear it, you can even see the rain beating off the top. One of my favorite features of the rain fly is that it's not going to interfere with our skylight. You can see w

Thanks...much appreciate the overview! Been looking at one for our Honda Element for awhile now. As much as I'd love an ECamper, this is a more affordable route...also easier to install - don't have to drive to the West Coast - not that there's anything wrong with that ;-)
Nice review!
Excellent! Nice set up!

Hi
Can you leave the bedding inside with it packed up?
Thanks
Mick
Yes, you will want to pull the pillows out because they will be too thick to fold the tent closed.

How wide does the crossbars need to be to fit the mounting hardware? Would it fit the OEM bars of a Santa Cruz?
This tent is designed to fit roof bars of all shapes and sizes! You would just need to check with the owners manual of your vehicle to see what the weight capacity is of your roof rack and roof.

Good info, why at :09 seconds are the cars on the highway going in reverse? Lol
That is strange. Yet impressive! Must have slipped by the editors.
It appears that the presenter was closing the RTT but to make it look like he was opening the tent up it was edited in reverse, which is why the vehicles in this video are going backwards.
Can you leave the rainfly on when packing away the tent?
I would recommend making sure the rain fly is dry and then fold it up and toss it on the inside of the tent before you pack it up.

In the center hinge are there openings for bugs to get inside?
The center hinge is very tight so that bugs and water cannot get in.

58" means it's gonna stick out by 10" on chevy colorado short bed?
This tent is 56" wide but if your ladder rack is over your cab then you shouldn't have any issues centering it over the bed. This will mean that the tent will be over the cab and over the tailgate if your bed is shorter than 56".

Great

Is this the small or medium?
Probably the medium since he said "more than enough room for 3 people".
So you didn't need an aftermarket roof rack for this?
This vehicle had an after market roof rack. This tent will work with some factory roof racks. You will want to check to see how much weight your roof rack can hold before using this tent with it.

Is it small or medium????
This tent will fit 2 people comfortably. For its size and usability it would make a great addition to your gear.

It’s a medium 3 person
