Tent1 Roof top tent
My roof top tent arrived a couple weeks ago. We couldn't wait to try it out so off to Quartzite Sat. morning to check out the flee market. We only stayed one night but could tell it is a real improvement over sleeping on the ground. Setting this thing up and breaking camp was a lot easier on us old folks.

Looking good. What brand is it?

I will get one someday for the top of my M-101 trailer.

I surfed the net and found this to be the cheepest one I saw. It is made in China but I'm impressed with the Quaulity of materials, ie stainless fasteners. All the other tents I've had were also made there so I soon got over it.

I don't notice it much on the highway and sleeping up there is great ,more air than on the ground and if I want to look out thats better too.

I wouldn't know why. How many pounds is your rack rated for?
Who were these expert people and did they own one?
