Great review 👍.. i purchased this Naturest exactly 1 year ago. A few days ago i finally left my review on Amazon. I live in the north east "Pennsylvania" i hope you are having better luck with the mold then . Great video and love your setup 🇺🇸
Nice review! Been thinking about pulling the trigger myself. I have a 2011 for explorer and will be pulling a 14ft vintage aluminum camper at times as well. I thought the rooftop would allow me the flexibility to leave the camper and still be able to venture off, but not sure if my racks are strong enough. Thiughts? Thanks again!!
Love the review. I want to get into this type of camping, just ordered the rack for my truck but not sure if I will fit into this tent, I’m 6foot 2 inches. Will I be able to fit in this tent?
I have the clamshell version from Naturenest and its a very good quality tent that wont break the bank. I do agree that the mattress needs to be thicker cause I am a heavier guy. Other than that I am very happy with the purchase.
I was looking at your video last night and wished you had an update. I’m dealing with ceva not delivering my tent. I ordered oct 15th. Also please do a video update if you add another mattress
@@OverlandFlorida I’m talking to bamacar and they’re also trying to push for the delivery but seems to be an issue with my logistics company here locally
If you happen to see this and have a second to spare. First, thanks for the review. It was helpful. Second, I want to lay a strong deck across the bed of my small nissan hardbody truck with a six-foot bed. Underneath would be room to slide all of my plastic boxes, kitchen, sleeping, tent /tarp, as one does and on top tent. Would it fit nicely you think? Second, could one lay a 110 small window unit at the rear of their bed and when they set up just slide it out onto the tailgate and use A/C-Heater flexline duct work to run two short hoses up to the tent door to pipe in and out some supply and return for the unit? I'm just asking for an opinion on do you think it might work. It is experimental don't cha know.
This tent is way too big for a Nissan hardbody. I’d recommend their smaller tent that I just did a review on. It would fit the short bed nicely. That’s what I had on my ford maverick.
Just wait until it starts leaking and the company does nothing to help you out. I had to toss out the mattress as the humidity started causing a massive mold issue. I bought a 4” Heavy Duty inflatable mattress
It pulls it just fine. I do not have the hybrid. I have the 2.0 EcoBoost. I just got back from pulling the camper from Florida to North Carolina and back. It did great.
I have wanted a Maverick for some time. Thought the "market adjustment" price would go away, it hasn't. They are selling at $6K OVER sticker price. I just can't do that, with my luck 6 months later the market changes and I'd be angry. @@OverlandFlorida
Great video. Really detailed and an honest review of the product. Subscribed.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Our just arrived in the crate today mounting to a 2024 Santa fe!
Hopefully your rack supports the weight. I’m glad you got one!
This was the video I needed. Thanks!
You’re welcome.
Thanks for your review. 😀

So far so good. There’s usually a little moisture, but no mold so far.
Another stellar review
Good review bud. I'm considering this one after a few years selling my Smittybilt RTT. Nice to see a thorough review of it.
I’m going to post another update. It molds so easily
@@OverlandFlorida what do you mean? It gets mold in it?
@@gunnrunnerfishing it leaks pretty bad. It’s not a good seal going around when it’s closed.
Do you think this would happen on the hardshell too. @@OverlandFlorida
Edit NVM I see it is the hardshell

You will want a stronger cross bars for your roof rack. These tents are known to leak around the gasket as well.
Beautiful GSP
Thank you!

You’re going to have to see one for yourself.

I’m glad you are happy with it. That’s all that matters.
Hi! Great review, do you still have issues with condensation in the front of the tent?
Yes. I just posted a 6 month video.
I was looking at your video last night and wished you had an update. I’m dealing with ceva not delivering my tent. I ordered oct 15th. Also please do a video update if you add another mattress
Why won’t they deliver it? Is it lost?
@@OverlandFlorida I’m talking to bamacar and they’re also trying to push for the delivery but seems to be an issue with my logistics company here locally
@@darkassassin1987 that’s really odd. You think at the very least, you could pick it up from the facility.
@@OverlandFlorida their phone line would not receive calls. Bamacar ended up calling them. Tomorrow they’re supposed to deliver it.
@@darkassassin1987 I’m glad you got it all sorted out.
Did you ever get solar would love to see how you did it
I just added 360w to my camper. Adding 200w to the tent soon.
How your doggo get in 😅
I carry them!
Spears the cross bars out more and add a 3rd bar
Too much work and I don’t want to drill any more holes in the camper.
What is the advantage for having the tent on the rooftop compared to on the ground? Bugs, snakes?
Bugs, snakes and rain water. You get more of a breeze higher up as well.

@@OverlandFlorida thanks.
it could be moisture in the air with the temp difference
It very well could be.
What power bank model is that inside?
Is there a vent tube slot for a heater
I don’t believe so. FYI, when closed, the gasket sucks and lets water in.
It looks good and more than a deal. Is there a way you can replace that gasket of company send you an upgraded one?
Why did you get the tent when you have the bed inside the trailer?
The company sent it to me.
Hi have question does this tent comfortable for two ppl sleep in ? With some room left ? Sides ?
There is plenty of room for 2 adults.
@@OverlandFlorida thank you
I have the 2018 4runner and do not trust the factory roof rack.. I had to buy a different rack and highly suggest the same.
Yeah, I’m taking the tent off ASAP.
What rack did you go with?
when you breathe you exhale warm moist air.....it collects on cold surfaces....condensation
Yes, but even unused, there’s condensation forming.
@@OverlandFlorida if you watch the news the humidity and temp are constantly changing so it can happen anytime anywhere
@@robmerrill9894 clearly
Just wait until it starts leaking and the company does nothing to help you out. I had to toss out the mattress as the humidity started causing a massive mold issue. I bought a 4” Heavy Duty inflatable mattress
So far it’s in good condition.
What is the bottom made out of?
Aluminum
Do you think this could work on top of a bed space frame as a camper? Like a Go Fast Camper replica?
How long have you had your runaway?
I think we got it in January of 2023.
Does your Maverick pull that Venturist OK? Did you opt for the bigger engine of the hybrid?
It pulls it just fine. I do not have the hybrid. I have the 2.0 EcoBoost. I just got back from pulling the camper from Florida to North Carolina and back. It did great.
