Possibly the worst mattress I’ve ever slept on and because of the size of the Panther 2000 almost impossible to find a mattress to fit up there. I’ve had a fair amount of water get in along the opening side of tent while driving in rain and it’ll be interesting to see how much dust gets in there behind a convoy. Besides those grievances I absolutely love this rtt so quick and easy to set up and pack up with endless room in them.
Thanks for the feedback @pava01 - I'd be changing up the water ingress with 23Zero or out warranty team if you got it from us. 23Zero have suggested this shouldnt be an issue ~ Lauren
No need to season them, even new swags don't need to be seasoned given fabric and seam sealing technologies nowadays. I'm glad our video was useful. ~ Ben
Good stuff Ben wish you'd do a review on every product I'm thinking of buying haha. Quick one for you, what are the dimensions between the mounting rails on top of the hard shell? Trying to gauge how big of a solar panel it could fit.
Thanks for the kudos, Luke. They are about 90cm centres for the top rails, we cover off on a few more details on these in our features video which you can see here if you haven't already - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jIvpylN4_18.html. ~ Ben
I'd say theres a rare chance abit of water could get in, but nothing that should cause any issues. Ultimately its a waterproof canvas tent which you can use year round, and theres a small canvas skirt that runs along the edge of the tent. Its not going to get more wet than it would if you were to set it up and use it in a down pour. Its be recommended to open up your tent and give it a good dust off/sweep out when you get home from a trip anyway, so you'd notice if it needed abit of drying out. ~ Lauren
I assume you mean the straps for pack-up/set-up? If so, then it really depends on the height of your vehicle, but the long strap used for raising /lowering the canopy is extra long and will be plenty long enough for most vehicles. ~ Ben
Everyone is going to have their own opinion of what is best, Ankur, but I do think that the Coleman Northstar 10 is a great family camping option. ~ Ben
