- Gday frozy gang.
Something a little different this week guys. we have a review of our kings rooftop tent. I forgot to mention that we have been using this rooftop tent for about 9 months now. I hope you all enjoy or it helps you decide on a rooftop tent if you are on the market for one.
Please feel free to comment with any questions, don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already :)
I’ve got one awsome tent it survived a storm 60km winds and rain barely got a wink of sleep but it held up perfect. The straps I just tucked in the side of the roof problem solved.
Love it mate! Yes I subscribed! I am thinking of a similar rooftop tent to ad to my truck build as I am 6' and my truck bed is 5 1/2'. I have to sleep diagonal for now to fit. Love your video (just mind the music volume) and hope to see many many more adventures to come. Keep it up! Cheers!
Hey man! Cheers for the love my dude! This rooftop tent you see in our video has heaps of room for tall people. It’s just not wide enough really for two people.. I recon next rooftop tent I get will be from “the bush company” if you want to check them out!
@@FrozInTents I don't mind the width... the mrs is not a camper anyways... plenty of room for me. Will do! Thanks mate!

Great review. Watching this as i camp 😊
Btw, you can always pee in your tent, just have a disposable bottle near you. For your partner, there is this powder used for absorbing water in baby diapers, add some to a foldable bucket. She can do her business there.
Thanks guys - change the floor mat to another material as artificial grass will burn your feet as it gets extremely hot in Summer - also to be delicate and personal I always have a sanitised wee bottle to save getting out of the tent - um female aspect I cannot advise because I always travel solo - John in SA

@@Pusfilth Urine is sterile and I like the taste. Get over it
That’s nasty ! I use a funnel
And a hose , just don’t have a family member setup downstream 😅
thanks for the review mate

Hi I have a kings big daddy deluxe swag which has a 70mm mattress and I sleep for a week in it no worries so I’m wondering if you think it would be just as comfortable in the rooftop tent
The mattress in the RTT was only a 30mm, any extra padding you can gain is definitely a bonus, put the 70mm on top of the 30mm and it’ll be like sleeping on a cloud
Great review thank you very much I am looking at buying this one. Do you reckon it's possible to mount a solar panel to the top of the tent box? Also where abouts is this? If you can remember. Thanks
You could mount a solar panel but it would have to be a flexible type, solar blanket, and glue to the top, this is in WA near seabird :)
@@FrozInTents thank you very much for your reply. Again great review I'll be subscribing for sure.

With the 2 straps to pull th tent down, I use a longer rope/ cord and loop then to make it taught , problem solved👍 No more flapping on windy nights.
Wondered was your custom lights inside the tent permamently mounted??Curios to know was there any exit/entry points on tent were u can lead the wires from outside in for power🤔🤔Also to mention,Great video👍👍👍
Gday mate thanks for watching! Yes the light was basically a light strip that ran down to a 12 v socket in the draw system, there is a little gap between the canvas and the roof of the RTT to fit a wire, however a better solution would be to have one that was powered off a power pack that you can keep in the RTT

Is this the Mark ll?
Just mounted mine yesterday.
How's the plastic hold up in the heat longterm? Been considering painting and insulating mine to try extend the life a bit. What do you reckon?
We had no problems with the plastic room but it would be worth insulting, or something to reflect the sun, as soon as that sun comes up it heats the black plastic up that much you can’t really have a lay in if you want to.

How did you route the power for the LED light into the tent? Drilled a hole in the plastic?
He mate, no! We just run the wire through a little gap in the canvas! And it just plugs into a 12v socket in
My drawers are! Very basic haha

Hi With a black roof and no insulation does it get hot inside.
Hi mate. I probably should have mentioned this in the review! If you have the sun shining down in it, yes it gets hot. But when we are camping we are usually up as the sun is coming up. If you park under partly shade or there is cloud cover it isn’t to bad, and when it does get hot we open up all the windows aswell to get some air flow happening!
Can it withstand heavy rains? No leak from the windows?
Hey Erick! We have t had any problem with water getting in what so ever. We have stayed in this RTT in so pretty epic rains and winds and we have been surprised to be honest!
I use oky straps on the end straps to stop them flapping.
That’s a good idea, I was thinking about that while I was filming this, I think I’ll have to invest in some.. have you got a new mattress for it?
@@FrozInTents I use an Exped megamatt, expensive but worth it.
This is great review, thanks a lot for that. My wife thinks the 1m wide inside tent may be too tight? Did you feel comfortable? Also I was reading the pack comes with awning too?
Hey mate you can buy a combo that comes with an awning, it’s a small saving. For me and my partner the RTT is fine! A little more space would be great but otherwise than that and the mattress the RTT works great!
Hey mate, when you got the memory foam cut did you have to account for the struts??? about to get it done.
Hey mate don’t worry about the struts they will fold into the memory foam no worries!
@@FrozInTents cheers brother

Does the bottom shell pool with water in the rain? How does it go for packing up wet?
Hi mate, no the roof top tent is completely water tight, no need to worry about the rain and we have packed it away in the rain a few times, no worries at all

Will a fatter foam mattress make it harder to close?
No
Great video.. I ended up getting the Kwicky.. Just wondering which beach was this video shot at ???
Awesome man how are you finding it? This beach is just north of seabird in WA
@@FrozInTents it was really good... setup was a breeze even in the dark.. got to camp site at night. Did get a little hot during the day but nothing a fan cant fix. maybe even put some reflective insulation on top. looking forward to camping again!!!!
Where is this place mate location please..
Couple of guy ropes or some tension straps tied onto the straps and secured on the rack will save the flapping around in the night

Do you still love it now? And issues years later?
Hi Ryan. I ended up selling my 80 series with the rooftop still attached. But we loved it till the day we sold
It and I am looking forward to the day I can get another one
Does it still close ok with the extra mattress?
Yep!
Hi Froz, I like it and priced pretty good as well. Hey, what is the silver boarding called you have for your windows, and where would I find it. Maybe a builders supplies ? Thanks Craig
Hey mate. Sorry about the late reply! This is roof installation and can be found at Clark rubber!

Why there ever made the roof black is beyond me needs some kind of insulation on inside, but pretty easy fix!
hot tip, put the grass down first before setting up the ladder
Is this kwiky mark 1 or 2 ??
This is the 2nd one
hey mate what size mattress did you put?
Hey mate! The mattress is custom cut from Clark rubber! It’s not a offical mattress size but a kind single will fit, on
@@FrozInTents ye do you remember what size foam you got from clarke rubber?
I think it was about 2.5 x 1.35, something like that. I just pulled the mattress out that was in the RTT and they used it as a template :)
@@jim-me1oc it’s 50mm memory foam from memory
Needs more windows.
easy , put a velcro on that strap and it will stop flapping
That’s how I deal with your mom
You paid $300 for foam! They saw you coming bro!
I paid $2 for your mum so I was able to afford it brah!
Ive never heard so much whinging about non consequential things...no lights? flapping straps? having to climb down the ladder christ!!! must be a gen yz thing... having said that you talked me into getting one so well done...
😂 😂 mm you are welcome 🙏
What if a single guy wants to sleep in it?
That would work
@@FrozInTents do you really care how could society push someone away like a joker please watch that movie to see what’s happening nothing left for me except the nature anything else is wild
No good in the rain as there is no "verandah" over the entry.
Hey denis :) I forgot to show it in this video but there are poles for the “awning” over the entrance on both sides and also the canvas zips up. We haven’t had any problem with water just yet :) we will let people know if we do though!
I would be more bothered with noise, surely that is loud in heavy rain?
I do love the roof top tents they are very cool.
only I wouldn't feel safe.
Someone could climb up during the night and stab me through the canvas
I prefer to have solid roof and walls around me.
If I hear anything suss Or scarey during the night I can easily slip through to the cab and drive away at a fast speed.
If that fails I'll let my king Corso out on whoever is trying to harm
Heheee Melbourne Australia 🐨 🦘
Wow 😮 haha
You need help
@@FrozInTents nothing funny about it it does happen, and it has happened.
The research shows the proof.
"WTF"
well you stay home then the research is BS my 2 brothers are high up police in Melbourne they just laughed
Don't waste your money .they crack after 12 months
That was the first version wasn’t it? The mk2 is supposed to have fix3d those issues.
