Glad you guys are liking the new tent set-up! Looks very comfortable and high quality!
It is definitely built for adventure!!!
Awesome new set up guys love it. Light and spacious. I love the windows.
Thank you. More adventures to come in the Habitat.
@OpenRoad4Two 👀 nice I'll try and keep up
Hi Folks! I just discovered your Channel today and watched this video plus the Death Valley shelf road and Big Bear Diesel Heater. Wonderful and charming. Milin ...you are so sweet and real. What a welcome change from so many other channels that think hyping every word they say is necessary. ...Great job,, well done, you have a new follower. Hey Randy does great too.
I just bought an almost new, used AT Habitat like you did. Installation in 2 weeks. Its going on a 2017 Tundra TRD, lifted, on 35s ,6.5 bed. I really liked how you covered the key big big features of the Habit. you are such a natural....winner winner.
I live in Yorba Linda and will be running most of the same trails you do. I am retired for 8 years so officially a "young-old guy" still having great fun off road and camping. Keep those new videos coming!
Thanks Jim! We really appreciate the feedback and kind words! We have a lot of fun doing what we’re doing and connecting with the community! We hope you love your Habitat as much as we do and hope to see you on the trail! We’ll be on the lookout for you.
Can’t wait to see it in person!
👏👏👏👏... Congratulations, on your next step forward! I love my Superpacific, but i understand your need for more living space. Your AT looks great! Keep on keepin on, and keep the rubba side down 🤙🏼 Take care and be well
Thank you. The Super Pacific is an awesome Topper and we had some amazing adventures in it. Since we look to traveling more extra space is needed. Hope to catch you on trail.
Thank you for the excellent detailed review. What a great video for someone just thinking about getting started. Thank you from Canada
Thank you for watching. If have any questions, let us know. Here to assist our fellow adventurers.
Looking good. Love to see how other people’s setups evolve. I’m not the only one! LOL
It’s going to be fun! Have so many ideas!
XOverland featured this setup in their Artic series. Held up to sub zero temps opened and closed. These are enormous and well made.
We hope to do some winter camping in it and test our diesel heater. It is so spacious and does amazing on trail too! Thank you for watching and leaving us a comment.
Looking forward to seeing the build out
Looking forward to building out something that fits our needs. Fingers crossed! 👊🏼
The pull out kitchen looks like the Nomad Kitchen co. I have been using the same set up for two years and it’s awesome.
Just looked up Nomad, we didn’t know about them. They sure do look similar. Great design. We are excited about incorporating it into our build. Glad to hear that yours works awesome. Quality stuff 👊🏼
Such a sweet setup! Those @tredcred patches look killer too...
Thank you!!! They get front and center on the patch hatch 👊🏼
Great setup! I love the new tent.
It is going to be nice to have more room for our longer trips.
What a setup there, that tent is HUGE ! It almost doesn’t stable due to the size off the back, but I would assume those back supports are beefy. Look forward to the rest of the build.
It is very spacious and roomy. We thought that at first too, it is supported by stout 6061 aluminum rods, and supports up to 600 pounds. Thanks for watching friends. Staying warm up there in Washington?
@@OpenRoad4Two trying to , it’s been pretty bad the past couple of weeks !
Love my Habitat.
We are so glad we made the switch! Love your set-up.
It’s time to get a 4wheel camper. 5x the better product and resale value. Enjoy.
We have considered it for our Tundra. Always have loved the FWC!
Awesome new setup! I have a friend who is looking at getting one. I may DM you with some questions.
We absolutely love it!!! Just took it cold weather snow camping and it was great in the cold and wind. Any questions, send them our way.
@@OpenRoad4Two Thanks! Will do!
Now I’m really confused about what to buy. I liked you wedge but it looked kinda cramped. I also have been looking at those pop ups since I’m a bigger guy and want the room. I’m so confused. Haha.
6ft tall or more, the wedge will feel cramped. The Habitat is extremely spacious. There are also a lot of good options out there that pop straight up.
@@OpenRoad4Two Thank you for your comment.
where (what mfg) did you get that half length roof rack on top of your cab?
@@JimGreen-eu7ur we traded racks with the seller. I think Prinsu might sell one. You can DIY modify one also.
Yet another great video! Nice upgrade! Does the over hang have any give to it. Looks fairly sturdy. Cheers!
Hey friends. The overhang is supported by stout 6061 aluminum rods and supports up to 600 pounds. It’s ver sturdy.
Seems so much more durable than the flippac!
It’s pretty robust!
This is a sensitive subject and I mean absolutely no disrespect, my wife and I are larger, im 6'2 280, which is almost half the tents bed rating alone. Have you ever had issues or concerns with the bed?
Have you guys ever been to Stockton Flats yellow post camping. Lytle Creek
We have not. Looked it up and it looks cool.
What is meant by second amendment? Are you referring to keeping guns? If so can’t you keep your guns in any camper or truck? Just curious. Thank you for a great review video.
Looks like too much work to deploy and teardown for my needs. No pointing the less vulnerable side into a high wind, or a solar panel mount. I'll stay with my SP.
It actually only takes about five minutes. The SP is great. We loved it , just needed more living space.
Your second amendment rights! YES!! Good for you guys!! That is a huge tent. A bad nights sleep can for sure change the whole mood of the trip. I tend to get pretty grumpy if I don't get decent sleep. Wow those pillows are pretty good sized. I might look into those. I hate having to take the pillows from the camper to the hummer when we decide to overland or tent camp. Good idea about mounting up your heater. It's funny how you think you know what you want and as you camp, you realize it's not suitable. OR in some cases a situation just changes what you thought you needed. I really like that pull out drawer cabinet. Looks like you're going to end up with a great set up. Hopefully it suits your needs and wants. Least for a little while 😉
It’s amazing how after each trip you dial in what you really need. We are looking forward to having it custom for our needs and our gear. Thanks for watching. The pillows are the bomb. Our daughter wanted to take them and use them in her room…
Are you able to leave the bedding in the sleeping area ? How does it stay when flipping open and closed. Ty
The mattress is attached to the overhang portion on the Habitat. You can leave bedding inside the camper but not on it. When we get to camp, it’s super easy. We open it up and throw our sleeping bag and pillow on the bed.
@@OpenRoad4Two Thanks so much !
@@Joeblade1966 thanks for leaving us a comment and watching. Happy adventures!
I would love to share pictures and videos of my AT Habitat with you both, to give you ideas.
Are you on IG?
@@OpenRoad4Two sorry I don’t have social media. Maybe an email?
Did you guys had to make any changes to your roof rack for the AT Overland Habitat?
No, our Martin Off Road worked. However we switched with the seller for his Prinsu so that he didn’t have an open area on his roof.
@@OpenRoad4Twoso no modifications to the prinsu when installing the habitat?
@@BobBob-yx2en yes. We put on a shorter version.
Haven’t seen any new videos for a couple of weeks uguys ok ?
Hey Dan. Thanks for checking on us. It’s been a busy time with work and stuff. Got some things planned so stay tuned.
Nice video. Very nice pace and full of details. Well explained. Safe travels!
Have a good look at the video. I'm going to give you a gift. 🎁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the support.
Wayyyyyy to much work for me! A small camper will do! But to each their own, our needs and wants and gun rack spaces are all different! If you’re happy, bravo!
Everyone has their own adventure needs and styles. The market has something for everyone or you create it yourself with some DIY! Happy adventures.
@@OpenRoad4Two ,you too! Stay safe and have a superior time in that awesome Toyota!!!
Are you guys selling the super pacific canopy
We already did. Thank you for your interest.
Super Pacific definitely has a quality product. I hope they do a flip version to fit more people.
They sure do! SP is one of the top wedge tents out there. If they offered one that popped straight up also, it would benefit more people. We love the room in the Habitat, makes such a difference and the the whole package is still lightweight.
Great switch 👍😎
Great video!! I have 2 questions.
Is the main sleeping area narrower than the SP?
The mattress that you mentioned dose it get warm like the exped?
Thoes pillows do rock! Our first bid trip i forgot to pack our pillows. Biggest mistake ever 😂😂. I bought a set and have been super happy.... i think i my try a heist pillow next as my wife thought 1 pillow would be enough and stole one of mine.😅 . I handled one in rei , it was nice but 3x the price.
I think the space might be the same, we don’t have exact measurements. However, the Habitat has an optional accordion sleeping platform where another person can sleep.
As for getting warm, we didn’t really experience any drastic temperature changes with sleeping on top of the built in mattress. We think it’s super comfortable. Yes, these pillows rock, best camp ones on the market for sure!!! Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment.
such a great shared on this, its impressive, best regards to you :)
i HAVE AN 8' BED IS THIS A PROBLEM?
It fits…TOYOTA: 5’, 5.5’, 6’ 6.5’ & 8’ BEDS and CHEVY, DODGE RAM, FORD & GMC: 5’, 5.5’, 6’, 6.5’ & 8’ BEDS.
Good choice!
Thank you! We are really enjoying it and happy with our decision.
I was happy to see you guys pop up when I was searching these campers for my potential next build.
great video y'all
We hope it gave you some helpful information. There are some s axing options on the market. For value and the amount of interior room you gain, we love the Habitat!
So they just park in a parking lot and put up to pop-up and then watch their phones until it's time to go to sleep. That's overlanding guys.
You definitely gained more interior space. That might come in handy if you have to stay in the rig during rain storms. If you don't get a 180 or 270 awning it might be wise to get the Habitat room enclosure to help keep your kitchen area out of the elements, especially in cold and wet conditions.
Definitely, we ran into some weather in Colorado and really didn’t have anywhere to retreat…we are looking at the AT Overland enclosure to give us more protection. Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment.
@@OpenRoad4Two the AT Overland enclosure will fit the bill for sure. You might not have as much space underneath compared to a 180 or 270 awning, but you will stay dry. Plus you can use a smaller heater for adventures in colder weather.
Damn. Do you need a degree to know how to set that up. Way way way to much setup. Insane!!
Nice arrangements on new switch. Loved the details your shared of all products you use. We only go for camping with regular tents and mattress. Great video 💚👍
Thank you. We are pretty excited for the build out. AT Overland makes quality products. Thank you for the support.
You have so much space in that AT Habitat. Looks like a great set up. Glad you were able to upgrade to something that works even better for you!
Thank you, yes. We are really enjoying all the open real estate. :)
🎉
I live in oc it’s a great place to go for a weekend
Love that you shared your evolution. Made me curious though as to the previous owners step beyond the AT Habitat. Do you know what they moved on to and why? ✌🏼❤️😊
Previous owner loved the Habitat. He was looking into getting a slide in camper, like the Four Wheel Truck Camper.
How much did you end up selling your SP for?
We gave a friend a pretty good deal.
I think you need to "switch back".
Looks really spacious I can see why you guys made the switch specially with the tacoma having the short bed.
It really makes great use of the space with the short bed. Having the sleeping area tucked away, keeps it all open!
Just found your channel….subbed and liked…..excellent review…….
Thank you for your support. We appreciate it very much.
Looks like any decent wind will destroy this flimsy construction...
It has actually held up in some pretty strong winds. The construction is very solid and the Habitat has even survived in the Artic!
Will you miss the pop up windows on the canopy?
We have been thinking of maybe having it retrofitted and put in one hatch door or window on the side.
✌️😍😍😍always admmirable
The habitat looks so neat. My favorite part about it is the separate sleeping space! One can continue sleeping while you do your thing in the open space!
It’s one of the best designs in maximizing space.
How much weight can the sleeper hold
The overhang has been rated for 600 lbs.
Not so sure, but I’m watching!
Never mind!
Looks great 👍
Thank you!!! We are enjoying the extra space!!!
Seen before, great tent 🎉🎉🎉at
Would be cool if you folks incorporate a 180 degree awning underneath, the kind that comes with walls, that would add a TON of space, along with an exterior shower/toilet enclosure
Now you are taking!!! There is a vestibule enclosure they sell that kinda makes a full enclosure room for wind and rain. We have an awning for it but not a 180.
@@OpenRoad4Two I’ve seen shower enclosures that you can add along with a propane hot water heater to give you nice hot showers anywhere in the backcountry, those are super nice!
@@ashwilliams5454 we will need to get that when we go more full time exploring! A hot shower is a must after 3-5 days on trail! 😂
Amazing setup, I want one now! Love the hat too 😊
I can see one on your rig!!! Need the camo hat!
