    The 60's called, they want you two back! Good job! I needed to see what this looked like installed by someone who bought it. I'm definitely getting one of these. Thanks.

  • @nicksangetta8874
    @nicksangetta8874 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for all the helpful info! I got the exact same setup on my crosstrek. Same malone bars and everything.. are you at all concerned about the way it overhangs in the front? Mine starts getting a little bouncy at 65mph so I dont go faster than that. How fast do you go on the highway?

    • @RossOwen
      @RossOwen  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Nick! That’s awesome we’ve got the same set up. I’ve not been concerned about the way if overhangs, it hasn’t gotten bouncy for me. The roofnest says max speed is about 74~75mph, I think max I’ve gone is 80 and have had no problems. I like to stay at 74ish max tho. Maybe just mess around with how far forward the tent is, and move it back a little if you can still get your back door open

      @@RossOwen Thanks again, Ross. I appreciate the feedback and help. Thats great that yours is rock solid. Mine just has a little bit of movement.. but then again the day I drove it back was really windy! Im just gonna take it slow an easy. I'm keeping 65 alive! Lol.. im hoping the decrease in speed will offset the gas mileage lost by adding the tent. But its just gonna take a while longer to get to places! Thanks again, Ross and good luck on your future adventures.

    Hey guys this is a great video! I'm actually looking to buy a cross track for my next vehicle pretty soon and I'm just looking at getting a rooftop tent. I saw the Telui 2p soft tents, But I've also been considering the hard style push-up like yours! It looks great. How tall is it when you open it up on the inside? I don't know if you've ever measured it or not. And how have you liked it since you owned it? Maybe a little bit of pros and cons would be great. And you find the mileage went down substantially with that on?

    • @RossOwen
      @RossOwen  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey man, thanks for watching and commenting! we’ll be making an update video soon on these points and some others too. I definitely think the hard top is the way to go, but will go into more detail in the video. We absolutely love this thing. If you haven’t already, subscribe and you’ll see when we post the video!

    Great video; thank you. I also have a Crosstrek (2017) and got the same (Malone crossbars and Sparrow) from Roofnest BUT installing my crossbars was a nightmare. Unlike yours, none of the connector parts were attached to the bars so that took some figuring out. Then it turned out one of the connectors is faulty (messed up screw and spring). I did finally get it attached--and it is tight--but knowing that it isn't the way it's supposed to be makes me very, very nervous. Waiting to hear from Roofnest (and hoping they won't say talk to Malone). Conundrum because my Sparrow is due to arrive in 2 days and I don't have storage for it. All this to say, I'm hoping you can answer some questions:
    1. How many inches apart are your bars? I noticed that your rear bar is not all the way to the back.
    2. Did you have the delivery people wait while you inspected the box when it was delivered as RN recommends.
    3. Is your tent positioned more to the front because of the rear hatch?
    I'd appreciate it so much if you could help me out.
    Thank you!

    • @RossOwen
      @RossOwen  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey glad the video helped! Sorry to hear that happened with the crossbars.In the manual they said the bars had to be minimum 24 inches apart and mine are well past that, I didn’t put the one all the way to the back cuz I liked the idea of more support being distributed in the middle too, we plan on sleeping with our feet pointing to the hood of the car. And yes I have the nest positioned more forward so we can open the hatchback - it actually does touch the top of the nest so I have to slow it down but it is not a big deal. The delivery guy arrived at my house and said “if you could sign here for me” before he pulled the box off the truck so I just said yes I will I just want to see the box first and there actually was a little tear on the underside of the box. I took a picture of that and signed the receipt, took a picture of that and luckily when I opened it nothing on the tent was actually damaged. Hope that helps, happy to answer any other questions you may have!

    1. How much does that tent weigh?
    2. And How is it going after a year? Any pain points?
    3. I heard that Imprezas roof isnt that strong so just wondering if its worth having a rooftop tent especially the hardshell one?

    Hey so the crossbars say a max haul weight of 165lbs on their site.. have you guys had any difficulties with the bars? Im a fairly large guy so I'm worried if i got these crossbars for my roofnest that they'd break or bend. have you had any issues with this?
