Hello, nice review, I was curious if the back window would hit the tent floor or not. A tip for make you like easier when folding down the tent is to connect the bungee cords in diagonal.
I had a soft top when I had this setup, but now having the UM J30 top, I would say the glass doesn’t raise up high enough to hit the bottom of the tent. I haven’t measured anything, just basing it off of my guesstimation of what I remember
THANK YOU!!! this is the first time ive seen someone put up and down a tent and what is like to do the small little struggles to get it all done and such a indepth look at it all. thanks again have a great day.
This rtt seems quite fiddly. I am looking at moving to a rooftop tent as I am sick of sleeping on the ground. But my tent is much easier to handle than this one, and for something costing ten times that of my tent now, it needs to be more straightforward to set up and put down. Thanks very much for the detailed video, extremely helpful.
As an owner of this tent on my overland trailer, it actually isnt. I used to own a tent trailer and i found it took more to setup AND there was additional maintenance. My ARB is 10 years old and still like new.
@@betweenthepines4000 how is the canvas holding in 10 years? I’m thinking in buying this or a pop up camper but indeed the extra maintenance time consuming is a deal breaker… simple-best Thanks for ur comments!
I don’t use this setup anymore, but at the time I was using the Smittybilt SRC roof rack. I actually made a separate video about it. I am not sure about the static or dynamic weight rating, but it held my ARB RTT just fine
@@KramerJunction thanks for the reply. Any cons you had of that set up? Why did you get rid of it? I have a 2015 jk 2 door with a soft top on it. Any recommendations to put a tent on the top? Thanks in advance!
@@mccastellanos6510 so the RTT setup was cool, but it was too much setup and breakdown time. If you see my video about my current camper top, the Ursa Minor J30, it’s 30 seconds up and 30 seconds down. My old RTT setup was 10 min up and down, at best. I spent over 100 nights in my camper top last year, do the math and that is hours wasted and it wears on you. Another thing was putting a RTT away in freezing temps is the worst, your fingers will hate you. Last, it was the high center of gravity weight. The Jeep had sooo much body roll while driving off road, it’s just way too much high center of gravity weight. Oh, another thing is if your vehicle is lifted, deploying and stowing your RTT sucks that much more. I think RTT are great for occasional and once in a while use, but for someone like me, who spends easy 1/3 of their year on the road in all seasons, nope.
beatensane I really like it. It gives me a covered area when I’m cooking out of the back of my Jeep. Also, I have my 8x8 ARB awning coming off my drivers side and En Suite room coming off the right, so it’s the ideal orientation for me. If you check out my overland build walk around video you get a picture of how everything works together 🙌
Harrison Hartog if you go back through my other videos you will find my best budget roof rack video. It’s just a basic tubular rack from amazon. Many manufacturers sell the identical rack for different price point...TrailFX, Smittybilt, RockHard4x4

Nice video, thank you.
The front bar is the one that comes out of the pockets in my tent, not the ladder side.
Excellent! This was the best review of this model of tent which is on my shortlist. Very helpful, thank you.

Very nice!! Exactly what I needed to see to convince myself to buy one!!! Thanks a lot!!!
Awesome! I’m glad you found it useful and it helped in your decision making process 👍🏻
Whats the blacks straps for that hang from the inside middle of the tent
my dad has a similar tent on his landrover
That's a lot of work! Thanks for the review.

Thanks for ur comments!
One small tear from the first owner, otherwise its still in near new condition. Worth buying ARB or any reputable brand. Highly recommend
Thank you good review
hello, i onw a pickup trcuk do you think it can be deployed into the truck bed from the roof? along with the extra walls?
nicely done.
Thanks, any kind of insolation doubler I can use inside or outside the tent for Canadian north camping ?? thanks Bob Montreal.
Question: What's the length of the sleeping area ( mat )?
Added a like to help the algorithm
Haha thank you! I appreciate it! Every little bit helps in a game of inches 👍🏻
What rack do you use to set up your roof tent? How much weight does it hold?
Thank you!
Nice set up by the way!

@Kramer Junction thanks! I see you changed your soft top to a hard top. I am considering that option as well instead of adding a rack to hold the tent
Are the zippers heavy duty or do they snag offten?
How is the tent on a raining day?
Holds up super well. The gray cover on top is basically an extra rain fly and the opening is well covered to keep the rain off
How do you like having the tent open to the rear, instead of to the side?

@@KramerJunction awesome thanks I'll look for it! They hold around 660lbs?
All that huffing-n-buffing … hoping ARB engineers see this vid and make some changes that’ll be more user friendly.
Haha doing this process many times over is a big part of why it was easy for me to justify the expense of my Ursa Minor J30 camper top 😂🤷♂️
How many women can you fit inside at one time?
Not enough
@@KramerJunction this tent isn't for me
I’ve had 3. Trust me, that’s enough 😁
@@sarahdell4042 Is that all? Pathetic.
