This is my homemade Rooftop tent I've been working on for the past few weeks. Let me know if you would like to see a "how to" video on this. (UPDATE) Weight is 137lbs. Not bad!

I love when people take matters into their own hands and save a boat load of money on an idea that probably seemed crazy to peers. Excellent job!
just because you're crazy doesn't mean you're wrong
Sometimes you have to take matters in your own hand May God bless 🙏 them😊
The pop up action was super impressive
Thank you! I am wanting to do a more detailed video on how to build the lifting mechanism but without welding anything
@@PatrickRemingtonwaiting on this video unless I’ve just not come across it yet? Trying to figure out how to do mine!
One of the most impressive DIY builds I've seen. Great job.
This is an inspiration, awesome job. I'm in the market for an RTT but am quite capable of building my own for a fraction of the cost. I love using things you've built with your own hands. Props to you sir.
Excellent build, I actually like the woody look. It opens better than some of the commercial units, I'm impressed.
I like your easy opening -well thought through project!I'm impressed of it's simplicity-Thanks for showing this!
I was so long trying to build such thing but I haven’t got any information on the design, now I think I can give a try to it. Thanks 🙏 man 💕
Simple yet effective. Lovely build.
those struts are the bomb ! super cool build, thanks for sharing
What size and strength are those struts love your tent
I think they are 150lbs struts. I just posted a new video where I talk a little more about how I made the lifting arms! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
Dude that is so cool!! I'm impressed.
i have been looking around for ideas for this exact project lol.... you just gave me hope..!!! nailed it bro.!!
Thank you for these videos. Building a truck camper. But I want to do a pop up top on it. I'm really inspired by your build. Thanks again keep the videos coming
I feel that this is pretty doable. Congratulations for your project, I might design something similar for a diy camper roof tent.
very good work!!! I've been thinking about making a similar one for a long time !! I love that idea of hinges !!
I have been looking at these, but the cost! This is an epic build and has so much potential!! Great job! Thanks dude 🤟
Excellent job on your RTT. You have inspired me to maybe start one of my own.
Amazing! Congratulations! Very nice job, been thinking about something along those lines myself, good inspiration!
Its wonderful idea. A moving home!

That lift/open mechanism is great.
Beautifully made, also consider adding ropes or a support rod from bottom to top in X pattern this will help during high winds.
Nice. Can’t Wait to see the finished product.
Great work and great bit of kit. Well done!!
A fantastic build, well done.
Wow! The light finger action on that is amazing! I’m thinking of just putting a pop-up tent on some ply wood and there’s actually a video of a guy doing it. Lol
Great job Holmes!
Overland nation. This just became my favorite chanel. Keep up the the good work.
Sweet skills and an awesome build!
Dude! you're really good with your hand! Kudos man!
Thanks, man!
Great job ! For sure the "how to video" ! Thanks for sharing your tips.
So inspirational and would love to see a how to video on this please. Especially were the gas struts are concerned.
Great work
I am working a how-to for a clamshell design RTT. Just posted the final product video for this tent! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
That thing is awesome! Forget buying one when you can make a custom version!
Well done mate. Might try those slide together tent pole and canvas also.
Wow! That's amazing! Nice job...
I for one love to see how you made the lift. Hope make more vids of this project.
New video is up!! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
Bro that is dope. Looks awesome. Good work.
Thank you!
Looks really good man nice job
Great job Patrick.
Very nice work! I' too, would like to see more on how you built it.
It's not always about saving money, any successful DIY is very satisfying!! even if you spent more than what's available on the shelf.
I agree! I learned a ton from building this!
Very nicely done!
Incredible craftsmanship mate!
Thanks! Check out the final product! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
Awesome job pal !!
this is amazing! great work!
Thanks! check out the finished product! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
You know what would be really cool? Take your vehicle and make it a ragtop--they sell kits to do this. Then, cut a hole in your tent base, sew windows in your pop up and you've got a vehicle you can stand in, cook in, sleep in, etc etc. Once you can stand in a car, you have so many possibilities. Not just that, but if you made your topper such that you could remove it, it can go from ragtop enjoying summer sun to camping just by installing it back on your car. The fact that the lid is light really opens up possibilities. You do such great work!
I have a Silverado with the 5'-8" bed. I am thinking about a diy truck cap with something like this on top extending partially over the cab to give the length to camp and still be able to use my truck bed. Thanks for sharing as I believe a similar cap / rooftop tent will do the trick!
This is awesome. Was looking for one but the prices shocked me. Great video!!
Thanks! check out the finished product! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
Excellent design.
Thanks! Here is the finished product! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
Yes a how too would be extremely appreciated, I've been looking for something exactly like this
Working on it! Here is the final product video! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
This is so nice. Wow.
Thank you very much for making this video.. I made my own version of pop top tent learning from you.. 👍
ingenious damn good. way to go.!!!
WOW!!!😮 FANTASTIC LOVE IT😊
Great work!! I wish I was so handy
I would love to see this once complete.
Great job!
I'd love to see a how to! With as much as I work, I'd probably just hire you to make one for me😂😂
Great concept,shall wait for the new release
Finally posting a finished product video! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
Nice work chap. Nice zip sewing too!
Looking at the zipped door, on factory made one’s the canvas extends past the end of the zip by about 2inch. Just to keep the door from letting water drip in when it’s windy. A great piece of work, I bet there have been some evolutions or modifications made as time has gone on.
Coming late to this GREAT VIDEO!! YES, YES WOULD LOVE TO SEE A HOW-TO VIDEO.
I am working on a how-to series now! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
Nice work bud. Very cool.
4x8 plywood and a little pop tent would do too. Great job!
Very impressive!
Great work.
Impressive. Even looks more aero than the ones you buy
impressive, the combination of hydraulic lift is amazing.
brilliant. well done.
Simply outstanding.......
Nice job !!!
when i build mine, it will be with the hydraulic lifts from my 08 odyssey rear hatch and some heavy canvas
I’d like to see a how-to on how you tackled the strut portion of the build
This is so cool
Soooo cool 😎
Thanks! here is the finished product! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
Nice job man
congrats...like it very much
I will try to do one.
man you are a genius
Thanks for your energy ... I like your work ! Super would be to integrate light and flexible solar panels and/or plexiglass to see the stars !?
The plexiglass would be fantastic, especially if you put a sliding compartment so it doesn't heat up so much in the summer
Yes, I would love a "how to" video! Or just design plans if you have them. I'll pay you for them for sure. Those gas struts are dope! I really want a rooftop for my 87 Grand Wagoneer and all the companies online are outrageously expensive. I get why but damn I don't camp often enough to drop 1K on a tent.
I am working on a how-to series now! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
Looks amazing! Inspired me to build one of my own instead of spending that kind of money on retail. How is it holding up against the wind when camping?
This is dope
Dude! I really Dig your Rig!
Thanks!
Brilliant work guy!
Thanks!
Patrick Remington have you made any more progress or changes? Would be good to see an update of it
Yes! It is completely done. I haven't been able to actually use it yet. Just been too busy.. But yes I will be posting an update of the finished product. I also hope to do a detailed "how I did it/what I would do differently next time" video.
This is great, I think I would be able to do this with a how to video, let me know if you do one or have anymore info with the materials you used. great job!
My inspiration
6 roof tent companies didn't like this video.....:)
Then they all created another account and disliked it again...😂
Well it is the shakiest video of all time. I mean it seems like there's an earthquake going on. It's such a good idea with terrible video it's hard to watch.
Calvin Sanders and you took the effort to write a terrible comment. Well done
A year later and they've made their employees dislike it also.
@@CalvinHikes Didn't notice. Subscribed.
Wow good job you're a genius
haha, Thanks! just posted the finished product! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
Love it. It would be great to see a "How to" video with an included parts list and where to buy them.
Fantastic idea, and a credit to you too. Would be great if you could do a how to video as I'm very interested in building something similar myself.
I am working on a "how too" video now! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
Well done
great job sir
That is a sweet build im jelly
Thanks! Finally, posted a final product video! th-cam.com/video/841GzQ5rd9o/w-d-xo.html
Great project!! Looking forward to a DIY!
How much does it weight? Measurements of the unit and height when the gas pistone arms. How many Newton are maximum on the gas pistone arms? Would love to get a list of the materials you have used. Also how you solved the brackets to actually attach the "RTT" on your car. Just some ideas and wishes of information I would like to know in your DIY video later on.
Good luck finishing the project!
Cheers!
I’m trying to figure out how to build something to pull with my harly something like the mini mate. Dude you should see that thing!
you are a genius
I've been thinking of something like that for the top of a 5 foot hard wall trailer
good job!
You just save a couple of thousand dollars! Way to go! I am about to drop $4k on one! Enjoy your journey!
I would love to see a how to on this and also what pistons did you use for the inside
Great rooftop tent build. It would be great if you could tell us what and where you bought the gas springs. Again, a great job.
Very cool
Nice job buddy
