- This is a review of the Dune rooftop tent, I've had this particular tent on my homemade trailer for over a year and it has stood up to heavy rain and high winds no problems.
Apart from a couple of picky points I totally recommend them

Man, I love what you've done with that trailer - Genius!
I've had the Dune 1.2M wide version, guess I've slept in it over 240 nights over 8 months on the road.
A brilliant tent and well worth the $1000 when bought on special from Annaconda.
It is plenty spacious and an added bonus packs down with pillows and bedding enclosed.
Being a soft cover tent, as opposed to a hard shell, I used a pair of soft roof racks to mount my surfboard on top.
Can't really fault it, water tight and comfortable.
I do recommend fitting a matress topper and a matress protector under a fitted sheet, and yes the 1.2M version is about a king single size.
Loved your vid...
I have now sold my Dune and gone for a hard shell from Drifta 4x4.
3x the price and not as accommodating for bedding.
I really can't highly recommend this tent enough, it's a well performing budget entry to free n wild camping...
Gotta laugh. I can, and have, set this tent up in the pitch black with no artificial lighting many times, too easy 👍
Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah I've got the same setup as you had on your bed, mattress topper and sheepskin protecter and fits inside when packed up in the cover. I also now have a doona and fitted sheet for easier in and out for toilet breaks in the middle of the night, much easier than a sleeping bag.
So the 1.2 version can actually store bedding?! 😁 I'm looking for a rtt that's pretty light, opens itself on gas struts and can actually be backed down with bedding inside. You can find the first two but never usually with the third. They're usually too damn thin for bedding. But if the 1.2 version can actually be packed down with bedding then it's hands down the one I'm gonna choose, especially being lighter than most other rtt and thinner too for less wind resistance 👌
Yes, I pack mine up with pillows, mattress protector and doona no problem everytime
How is the 1.2 a king single size?? Its 120 wide. KS is far less wide - Everything KS is too small, and Double is too wide.
That's what I call it, I bought a King single mattress protector and king single fitted sheets and sheets and they fit the 1.2 mtr size.
A king single is 107cm x 203cm so it's pretty close.
Nice review i have one on top of my disco 1, I love it, it's breezy and awesome to sleep in.
Great set up. Great value for money on this tent. Well done.
It is very helpful review!
Decide I will buy one tmr!👍👍👍
Great review! Thanks for posting 👍
Hey bud got one also .Love it.Igot 2 pole clips from bcf 1200mm of 25mm pvc pipe and it clips across my awning in the middle to act as asupport to run the water off works a treat . About $15 allup
Brilliant idea, I shall look into it.
Thanks for the review
Awesome video! 👍👍
I had one of these returned it back to Anaconda after 3mths when one of the gas struts failed. To fix the water pooling on the fly, pass the black strap under the fly and it will act as a tensioner when you clip it back in the holder.
Thanks I will give that a try next time I'm out camping when it rains 👍
Thanks for the video mate, and to all who are commenting and helping make the right choice
No problem
thanks mate
Mate, you've got a freat camper trailer set up there! well done!
Thanks, it seems to work very well for me
Good job
For your puddles try extending poles I’m , you setup is great, I was trying to find a good rack but thx too you I just brought one on buy sell
Curious in what you mean by "extending poles", if you mean the poles that hold up the tent up they actually don't extend, there that length.
Im almost convinced with these as i just found oztrail dont make the trailer tents anymore its done me 13 years of hard camping its hard to find a good replacement for the oztrail camper 6
Regarding that canopy puddling issue, just get yourself a couple of cheap spreader bars from any camping store :-)
Yeah I've made up one from a piece of conduit and that's made a big difference
I'm building the exact same thing haha.
Where did you get the hinged mounting that the tent attaches to or did you make it?
Yeah that's a home made cover on a 6 x 4 trailer, you can see the full look at the whole trailer here

This is the first one I did on it
th-cam.com/video/C78X496zZtM/w-d-xo.html
And this is the revised second one.
How quickly does it pack up? I am thinking of getting one 🤔
Very quickly, including putting the cover on 2 to 3 minutes but once your used to it maybe even quicker
Hi
I'm planning to buy same tent.
Do you know how wide is it packed?
Thanks
Mines about 1350mm wide on my trailer.
@@Gunnadoo thanks mate👍
Great review thanks mate. I am checking one out this weekend. Are you still happy with your's and the build quality ?
Yes, and still going strong
@@Gunnadoo Thanks man.
@@Gunnadoo One more thing, does the clip on cover do a good job at keeping out water and dust . Most RTT's have a zip on cover but are more of a nuisance to fit so this clip on design seems easier and quicker.
@@MrMandala1111 mine is on a trailer and it's been absolutely covered in dirt on the outside but nothing has got inside from my use
@@Gunnadoo Thanks again. That sounds great as trailers do get absolutely covered in crap, more so than on the roof of a car.
Hi mate, I have the same tent and have solved the issue with the rain pooling in the front awning of the tent.
How did you fix it ?
@@Gunnadoo I got a aluminium pole from tentworld, I think it was 19mm or 21mm wide, got to C clips. Stretched out the awning and measured the distance between the tent and awning, cut the pole that length and then put the C clips on each end. I then clipped it onto the tent and then the awning and it acts as support so it doesnt fill with water. Look up DOMETIC | How To Operate Your TRT140M Rooftop Tent on youtube and you will see the metal pole (pause the video at 1:32 and you will see it) that comes with that model. Its the exact same tent as the dune one. I just made my own.
Just curious did you buy the 120 or the 140?
120
@@Gunnadoo thanks mate, so the 140 may suit a couple better
Yeah more for a couple but you'll still be pretty cosy 😁
