Buying a roof top tent is a large investment. I wanted to create a video walking through 3 of the most popular styles of hard shell roof top tents and give you some of my thoughts, but also things to think about when selecting one to purchase. We stop by Modula Racks and chat with Ryan about the Roofnest line up of tents, the Falcon Pro, the Condor Overland, and the Sparrow. This is my Hardshell roof top tent 2022 buyer's guide.

the tent that overhang dont really have support on the overhang do they? what is stopping it from bending down. im 200 lbs is that a problem for any of these tents?
I have a small soft shell I just installed last month and used at expo for the first time this past weekend. I love it. Did great in the wind as folds up real compact. Coming from years of ground tenting this thing was like a condo for me.
I love love the CVT Mt Hood for myself. It’s just me and my 30lb mini doodle but the setup coming from a TuffStuff Alpha 2 actually makes me get out more than I did before.
Thanks You for a great review. I'm planning on getting a rooftent and this video showed a lot of things to consider on hardshells. Condor would definately be the choice IF I was to use that much money into it. So far had some good experiences of a soft top ARB Flinders as a rental.
Thank you for this great overview of these three roof top tents! 👍
Thanks for video, didn't even consider most of these points. Another point I realized is that soft tops have a more 360 degree view, whereas hardtop don't because of obvious reason. Great, going with a soft top anyway, but was an eye opening video.
Dude. THANK you for this. I'm so confused about which one to buy but you helped so much with this video. Thanks man.
Good review Casey. great to see someone taller climbing in and around. Most reviews use little people like Sean to review their gear. Makes the gear look bigger.
Thanks for a great comparative overview. I've been going back and forth between iKamper and RoofNest. I'm 6'7" and looking for the most sleeping length. The more upright back shell of the Condor Overland seems like a better fit for me... It would be going on a Jeep Grand Cherokee so I'd need to upgrade my roof rack system from OEM. Thanks!!
whatd you go with im 6"6" and strugle to find a tent that works with me
Great video, trying to figure out my set up this was a helpful perspective, also love to see the Planet Ocean 600 beautiful watch!
Great video and thanks for sharing!!
Thanks guys, really informative
Very cool video! Great infos! Was wondering if you can use rails on the flip up tent, from the Jeep, like the ones on the volvo. To store things on top of the tent. Would the struts support the extra weight? Cheers, thank you!
Just the type of comparison video I was looking for!
Great video...lots of great information!!!
As a tall guy struggling to find a regular tent that will fit me. It’s good to see another tall guy like yourself fitting in the RTTs. Hoping one day to build an adventure vehicle and get a RTT
Well done Casey. Very well done. 👏
Excellent review. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Love this video! I just got back from an ocean to ocean drive from Nj to Vancouver! I did it in two weeks staying in White Rock with my fam for 7 days! It was me and my two boys in our Wrangler with our old first generation Tepui Kukenam which we have loved for years. But driving 15 hours a day the set-up time and break down time was a LOT. We got to fit in 4 National parks as well but. I came home rethinking my Rig. My fuel bill was INSANE too so I’d think these would also help with that my 2014 Dragon got 11 miles to the gallon😱
The only other thing I wish I got to see in Vancouver was that Volvo!! That thing is incredible!!!
The Volvo is sick. I want to review it
I love stick!!
My first vehicle was a 69 Scout International 3 on the tree, no bells no whistles my defrost in the North East was a fan mounted to the dashboard, it was a beast though and soo much fun!!! But that Volvo looks even more fun!!
Dude thanks for this!!! Im currently looking at getting my first rooftop tent, i want one that i dont have to set up at night in the dark and it looks like all 3 are pretty quick, sparrow seems to be pretty decent so i might get that
Thanks for the roof tent info casey 😊
Good video! I have one with the shoft shell flip style but take me too long packing up..
That is the most common feedback I hear about soft shells.
Im from sweden and I have experience from that vehicle from my military duty back in 1999. Loved to hear you read the swedish texts 😀
I had a Roofnest condor on my JK, but sold it to go with a iKamper skycamp mini.
Why?
Memory foam gets extremely hard in cold weather. So unless you only plan on camping when it is warm, you don’t want memory foam.
Just run your diesel heater and it’ll be back to normal in no time.
What is cold to you? I’ll be camping in no colder than -2 degrees Celsius and am wondering if this will be the case for me.
I've used my memory foam mattress at 25 deg and didn't have any problem with it
Ty for the info bud very help full
Very nice. I'm going upgrade diesel gladiator looking for tent . This helps allot Casey thanks 👍
My pleasure. The flip open rtts are great on truck beds
@@Casey250 thanks again Casey
HI CASEY 👋
THANK YOU 🙏 BEEN LOOKING AT ROOFTOP TENTS ! PRICES & STYLES . HEARD SOME ARE BETTER WHEN IT'S WINDY , PLUS ➕ IF YOU CAN PARK YOUR HARD SHELL WHERE THE WIND HITS IT FIRST . ALSO SOME COME WITH STOPS FOR THE STRUTS FROM CLOSING ON TOP OF YOU . APPRECIATE YOU BOTH SHOWING THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS OF EACH .BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 THANK YOU 🙏 AGAIN !
surprised that you just breezed over the gear storing feature of the pop-up. for me one of the best features is having all your bedding already just stored above waiting for you. Frees up space in your vehicle. But I wonder how those do in the wind?
Great informative reviews but for the money would like an led light and a fan and or connections for usbs.
For me, I enjoy the traditional feel and style of conventional camping. Albeit, it's on a roof, but that's about as different as it gets. So it's a soft shell tent for me. I could never justify the outrageous cost of hard shell tents. Paying upwards or 4-5k for a couple of slabs of aluminum coverings is crazy. Most of the canvas material you'll find is about the same across the board. In addition to insulated floorings (which I could live without) and diamond plated bases, the majority of the cost comes from the aluminum hard shells (again, something I can definitely live without). This is just my opinion. Thanks for the vid!
For sure, definatly not for everyone's camping experience! When i am out in extreme conditions with crazy weather, animals, and long days the RTT has made a huge difference in my outdoors enjoyment.
If you are not carrying your ladder in your RTT, you can use the ladder to reach the latches.
Pretty cool video. I'm curious about larger tent options, or tents that connect to a closed room on the ground. I've got a larger family (6 total, plus a big dog) so much more difficult to find tent solutions.
You'll want something like the Cascadia Pioneer Extra Large with the annex.
Just a PSA for those that don't know, DO NOT put those type of ladders (when he was putting up the first tent) at that much of an angle. They are made to be almost straight up and will collapse if they are extended like he had it for a high tent and you put much weight on them. I definitely like the style you have and want to upgrade my soft shell tent to your style of tent.
70 degrees is the recommended angle. I've used my RTT countless times in the last year and never had any issues with ladders at less steep angles and as seen the ladder didn't collapse on Ryan when he climbed it in the video. They are quite resilient but you can bend them. They will bend before they just fall apart on you, but i've used them at all kinds of angles with out any issue. However, Roofnest recommends 70 degrees. in their documentation.
@@Casey250 it was just for folks that don't know and might be bigger in size. I've seen several vids of them collapsing because they had them out too much and just wanted to pass it on. The tent you have is really nice.
What is the exoskeleton roof rack that you are utilizing with your soft top/ hard top on the JLU and what are you thoughts on the performance so far. I just purchased a new JLU Rubicon and am planning out my multi- use build out that will accomodate on- beach fishing/ overloading/ camping and daily driver needs. Great vid on the tents. the best in-depth tent comparison vid I have watched yet, so kudos, man!
Adventure Rack Systems
Good info, great video 👍
Glad it was helpful!
This video is awesome
I’m looking for a smaller RTT for my XJ. I don’t like how huge some of them look on the small Jeep. Any suggestions?
Great content!
Hello, what's the name of your double sided solar panel?
Which style is better for inclement weather, heavy down pores, and strong winds?
Casey, the Condor Overland is on my shortlist for my Sahara. I am also looking at a TuffStuff Alpha II (basically for the cost difference). I'm in Victoria and if you would be willing to meet up, I would love to check the C.O. out. I like the slimmer profile and the all aluminum shell.
If you keep an eye on 642 Jeep Facebook page i am often at the Jeeps and Coffee meets
@@Casey250 Thanks but, I am not on FB. I'll look for you on the streets (or trails)
Truck was sick
Nice video !!!!
kind of funny to see a tgb11 (c303) not using the four placements for the stretcher inside... use the side hooks and straps (might even be a rope)
Which one would you put on a 2 door?
I don’t have a fork lift. How do I get these rtt on the vehicle roof?🤔 I’m simply not strong enough to muscle this.
We need this store in Toronto :)
They ship!
I prefer the straight up tent with the solid roof.
i think an integrated ladder on the roofrack would be perfect for the wedge tent
How fast should you go on the road with a roof top tent?
How badly do these things collect critters? I’m imagining always needing an pre and post inspection to make sure?
Where we are, ive never seen one in it. The solid top and bottoms are pretty sealed, so much so i've never even had dust in my tent when bombing through the desert.
I also have the roofnest condor overland mounted above the bed of my pickup truck. I did have one issue with water filling up inside the top of the tent but roofnest sent me a diagram of where to drill drainage holes and I havent had any issues since
Obvious design flaw....Roofnest should have corrected that in the prototype stage.
@@patrickio8084 I agree but its too late now
Nice planet ocean!
How do you like your Roofnest Condor Overland? Would you buy another rtt from Roofnest. What’s the difference between the Overland and the Overland 2? Great videos Casey!
Check out this video th-cam.com/video/_fYKYr41PFw/w-d-xo.html
The overland 2 seems VERY heavy for the upgrades they added over the Overland 1. I still think iKamper makes my favorite clamshell.
What made you switch from the free spirit roof top you had?
I really wanted a tent that let me store items on the roof as well, and required less climbing up and down to latch / unlatch when closing and opening. The Condor Overland had just come out and it seemed like a good fit. It is also narrowed on the roof and I think looks better up there.
Hardtops have some important advantages: They are not fumbly at all compared to the tents and they can be closed even if it rained - close a wet tent, yeah well, good luck with that. But in general: there are hardshells and hardshells, there are vehicules and others and there are other people.
Like to generalize, you like to travel to clickbait-land.
Using our hardshell on our pickup for years now, had a tent before, i never ever going back that road....
I love the idea of a rooftop tent I just can’t get past $1000-$3000 for a tent that should be at most $250 maybe $300. I really want one but there is just this huge disparity between what they cost and what they are. DIY time I guess!
great video
Suddenly it dawned on me. Does anyone use a wedge or a stopper on the wheels to prevent them from rolling off (just in case)? I know u have handbrake/parking brake. Just thinking if added safety is good
generally I am camping on 0 or nearly 0 degrees of roll and pitch or its an uncomfortable sleep.
So will it mold when it rains and you pack up the tent wet?
Eventually. But your ok for 5 or so days. When we get home we just throw our heater in it for 30 minutes and it’s all dried out.
Nothing like taking out a loan to buy a tent I have to put away to use my jeep 😂
Should've said something about opening each in the rain
Great video! Was Falcon ever on your shortlist or was it always the Condor Overland? I realize you said you wanted some roof space, but I guess you could put some stuff on the Falcon roof. Are iKamper 's popular in BC?
Coming from a full length RTT already, i wanted to try the flip open style out. It was a tough decision between teh Falcon Pro and the Condor Overland. iKampers are popular. I prefer the shell of the condor overland and latch mechanism over the iKamper setup.
Great video. So is there anyway to insure an ex-military vehicle insured by icbc.I assume your in British Columbia. I want a pinzgauer.
What is a good rooftop tent for a two door jeep
Trustmade nomad
You should have listened to you're Tital
And Bought the
23ZERO product, them guys build Top Notch Tents from Zippers to Tent Storage, TO Fabric...
Will some one review the Aussie and South African roof top tents . Engineering and quality might be superior to the common rtt’s popular here in the United States .
I'll do some reviews if someone sends me there :D
Perhaps i missed it in the Video. But there is a disadvantage of the flip over tent. In Germany (and other European countries as well) you are not allowed to build up a tent which footprint is larger then the footprint of the car if you would like to „wild“ camp or staying on a parking lot. (Of course you can, but that’s the official statement). If the outline isn’t bigger than the cars.. fine and legal. (On campgrounds you can open and set up as much as you want of course).
Oh wild. Not something id ever heard or seen but i must admit im not experienced in camping in European countries. Thanks for the info
@@Casey250 So im a little jealous about the freedom of overlanding you have :-)
Do lighter tents exist? Seems impractical to need a forklift whenever I need the tent installed.
C6 Outdoors has the REV tent which only weighs 84 lbs.
FSR Evo2 for the win. Best rtt ever.
I’m always interested why none of these rooftop tent people talk about condensation. Not just under the mattress pad but the whole unit. Or how they deal with the wet coast and rain a good deal of the time. Talking to real users serious issues of mould and impossible to dry the tent out. As you can’t pull the thing into your garage and open the tent. And since they are heavy as crap you can’t just take it off and dry in your garage.
Maybe ill do something around that. The less air flow and tents with out a fly, will make more condensation in the cooler wetter weather inside. You can run a heater to help with this. As for drying it after a trip, ive left my tent for a week in cold weather when its wet before drying it out. I try not to go too long. If i have to with a streak of bad weather ill open it even in the rain, put a heater in, dry the inside, then close up. Repeat ever 4 or 5 days until there is a sunny day to dry it and close it.
0:36 Brought to you by Epic - while at Modula Racks. I'm guessing Ryan and Paul are good buddies :)
Epic is the channel sponsor. But yes we are all good friends.
Can I access any of these from the inside though?
No
Nice looking tent but cant see paying that much for something made in china
Screw their prices tho
The condor is 250#, which is a ton of weight up high. It wins on all accounts, but for the weight is a non-starter for me.
that's the Condor XL overland at 250.
What do you think of the iKamper series design?
Haven't used one yet
The one thing I'm worried about with roof tents is the possibility of a bear attack. I know how unlikely that sounds, but you have to weigh that against my highly significant unwillingness to be eaten alive.
Id rather be 8ft in the air then on teh ground lol
@@Casey250 Yeah, it's a good thing bears can't climb.😅
I feel better about the 1 to 2s extra warning I might have :)
@@Casey250 Reload paus 😅
Any tent requiring a fork lift... well, there you have it...!
GoreTex is close to 30,000mm water proofing, not 3,000mm
I was amazed at the list of things that are "kind of a pain" or "a little bit difficult".
Those things are just that, little things. Not deal breakers man. You don't complain about splitting wood before you can burn it do you?
No. Of course not.
So other than your occasional panty flash it was really a good overall review and I'm happy you put it together. Well done lad.
Now go find your viking within!

Not you too Casey! Resorting to the CHEESY/CLICKBAIT "don't buy this before watching this video" TH-cam headlines.
It isn't click bait, It is is a title relative to the video, that is built for the current state of how TH-cam assesses and promotes videos.
I put dozens of hours and tons of money into videos, only to have TH-cam not promote them to a wider audience if I don't use attractive titles. Now ultimately my goal isn't to make videos just to get views but, the more views and the bigger audience I have, the more capability to bring in revenue I have, which pays the bills so that I can make these videos.
Its kind of like asking a business not to use attractive marketing techniques and limit their ability to grow and survive. Sorry, this just how TH-cam is right now with title preference.
@@Casey250 Great, informative video and the title works. No one should buy something like this prior to watching a video like this. Money doesn't grow on trees and I want to be fairly sure I'll be happy with my purchase prior to actually making the purchase. Thanks and keep up the good work!
These things are so fucking expensive!!!!!
GFC toper/tent. GFC Platform Camper, topper with hole in top, stand up into Tent. Like AluCab kind of. but less $$$ onely 8000.00
pickup topper and roof top tent. Belgrade Montana.
Note to self, when i buy a rooftop tent, be sure to grab a forklift as well, keep er in the shed...
It helps
South African and Aussies Roof Top tents are much better than US tents, where you keep the bedding ? Inside the car ? That’s ridiculous and a waste of time and space.
That is NOT a 400 watt panel....
Thats what Ecoflow states, I am not an engineer so I can only pass along the info I read.
Where you guys get money for all this stuff?? 😄 all this shit ain't cheap
Who wants an outomatic gearbox on a serious 4x4?
Vertical pop up rtts are trash
What's your mean don't buy! Because you not allowed!! because of financial problems?? 80% people in aus we use top tent!!
So the Swag phase is over?
It was comfortable and good for the trip but I don't like how small it was inside. Sure was warm though.
@@Casey250 I understand that for sure :) We have a swag called the Darche Nebula 1550. It is called a swent by some reviewers, but the best of both worlds for us, still not a ton of room. At 1.8m i can just kneel in it to put on some clothes.
Looking at an offroad caravan now. We just got a 65kg dog and well still figuring out the new setup.
We think Swag and Gladiator for the go and a offroad caravan for basecamp
DO NOT BUY ROOFNEST. The quality is shit.. I have had my sparrow xl top cave in on me.. they replaced the top months later got a crack on the fiber glass shell... they told me to jb weld it, i did that... 1 month out of warranty more cracks in the shell and the clear coat is peeling.. Water got in and caused mold to grow on my mattress, blankets, sheets and pillows.
Contacted Roofnest and 'all they can offer' me is 1000$ of a new tent when ive had mine for barely 2 years lol.. I am getting lawyer involved if you research online hundreds of people with the same manufacture defects.. Roofnest is expensive for nothing, and customer service is even worse.
Honestly, all of this stuff is for the neck beard campers that camp maybe once a year
Is it though?
Jesus,
2 weeks to do that,
You will do it quicker,
The old tele track is rough as,
If you don't want to wreck your ute, avoid it,
From Bramwell station to Pusan Bay is only a days driv via the Falls
If the rain is coming in,
Go up inland, Atherton, to Lakeland, Bramwell station, Elliot falls, Pusan Bay,
On the way home, change it around, & come down via the lions den & the ocean road,
It will give time for the creeks to settle,
Just my apinion,
Enjoy your trip
I was hoping for some real information, not a good ole boys meeting. Lots of BS.
it's just YOUR OPINION
Ya that is generally the idea behind my content 🤷♂️
The Volvo military car you have in the video is called the PUPPY in Sweden!
And that's the SMALL version!
