I would research that on google and see what fits your car :) I am sure you can ! Depends on the load limit of your roof (dynamic and static) + the roof rack bars you get. Good luck!
Honestly not much content to make another video but happy to answer any questions you may have. Some observations: I have used the tent about 4 max 5 times per year so it’s tough to say whether it justifies owning it (storing it / mounting it each time). As far as quality goes then I’d say I got a good model and there is no wear or tear so far in spite of driving with it in the rain a lot or camping when it rained. It still beats camping on the ground next to the car or sleeping inside the car (depends on how many of you are going on a trip.) The ease of unpacking it is great (takes longer to pack) and the mattress is nice and comfy.
Hey great Question! Yes if you look into the description below the video there is a link in it directly to the tent and I mentioned just the name of it at the beginning! But goot call :) Hope you find something that fits yoru car
Hey JC! To be honest before I mounted the tent on my Toyota's Roof / Rack I read through the manufacture manual (booklet found in your car) to find out what are the weight limits /loads of the roof. There are 2 #s. One number is for "while driving" and another is when you are "stationary/static". Its important you meet the # of while driving, always! to avoid roof damage or some kind of driving imperfection. Then the other weight limit # you have to check is the load of your roof rack (the cross bars themselves ) and that depends on your brand that you purchased. My low profile black Thule cross bars were actually right on the edge as they are fancy and slick BUT not designed that durable. So if you have better cross bars you should be fine. All in all almost all car tents out there are OK for your car it just depends on the cross bars you have. Also some Toyota RAV 4s have better roof bars. The Rav 4 Overlander has a much sturdier build around the roof bars... It really just depends. But check the manual you will know. All the best and have fun out there :)
You could fit in with 2 smaller kids and yourself but if you have a partner then someone might have to sleep in the car or on a ground tent or just go the van life way :)
Im curious, can you tell us what the static/dynamic load ratings are for your Rav4?
Great video all together
Super awesome video and demo bro!
How much the tent affects the fuel consumption?
Can i do this on my 2017 ford escape. I have roof rack but no crossbars

Are you putting this tent on ur cargo bars? Or a roof rack? What type of cargo bars are you using?
Putting the tent on these: Thule Wingbar Edge 9595b / 3177
How much KG can these Thule wing bar hold ?
Could you consider doing a long-term review?

Did you mention what kind of tent this was and where to get it? I missed that. . .

I see it not :) Thank you!@@MartinTatar
Interesting review. What is the wind rating for this roof tent to stay inside?
Dunno about this one. I saw on another you tube doco it's about 30 kph to 30 miles an hour winds.
How does the rooftop affect gas mileage?
A couple points worse. Not too bad! I can still drive around 85 Miles (140kmh) and its rock solid + not even noisy as I thought it would be.
nice video
do u have link about Roof Rack:
Thule Wingbar Edge 9595b / 3177
www.amazon.com/Thule-959520-WingBar-Complete-Racks/dp/B00T497PVK
Is this the same as the overlander Gen1 from smittybilt? They look very similar and was wondering if that rack would hold my tent as well.

Ground def wouldnt keep it warmer in more cases. Grounds are cold.
I like it, but I got two kids.

So cool
