ADVENTURE KINGS GRAND TOURER ROOF TOP TENT REVIEW - Living In It Full-Time Touring/Overlanding 

Ya on the click bait. Well, I learned.

Where is the girl in the bikini?🤭

Great review! You've pretty much convinced me to get one of those.

Kia ora brew. Great vids so far, thank you. Just wondering how you find the sheer weight of this beast, especially when off-roading.

Thanks your review has talked me into Getting one works a mint.

Good review mate. Just wondering how you've run power up into it? I'm guessing engine bay then up behind the A pillar light bar mounts to the tent?

Brilliant review, thank you.

Really good review mate. Well done.

Great review, cant beat a honest review 👍👍

Awesome review mate, well done 👍

Check out the flexible, glue-on solar panels that they have for RV camping now (Caravan). That would be ideal for your tent setup and they have become quite efficient as well. You could use it with the tent open or closed to charge batteries (300-500 watts or so).

The roof nest, that's great. Gotta love Kiwis. Good to have good sleep. Seriously looking at this.

Great stuff bro, they are getting better and better! This is almost as good as the ginger nut review

We get condensation on the aluminium surfaces in our pop top caravan, I believe it is just a thing with hot bodies inside and cool outside

Nice honest review. Safe travels.👍🇦🇺

Great video I have same jeep wrangler what type of rack are you using with the fibreglass roof ?As I am a bit concerned about having a lot of weight in roof causing damage to the roof

Great vid. Cheers. Think you just made up my mind 👍👍

Hi guys. My wife and I are in our 70s with 50+ years of camping/caravanning. We have owned a soft floor camper trailer for the last 5 or 6 years and have covered about 80,000 kms with it. There is only one game changer for us - water ingress/internal condensation. At the first drip, we resolve the leak - a bar of bees wax works well. Design defects which allow leaks would kill the product for us.

Done and dusted. Nice review. Let us know how it stands up when it's ridden hard and put away wet.

wondering how this would fit on the discovery 3 build I'm doing on my channel 🤔

Cool video. With the tent on the roof, can you still remove the two front freedom panels? Thanks.

Was thinking of trying the MK2 but buy the look of it the footprint on the roof leaves me nowhere to carry fuel if I need to. Bummer.

Great review. We had one on our JK that we have just sold. We had a Gobi steel rack and found the weight a bit much. What rack system are you using and what suspension setup do you run to manage the weight? We have just purchased another JK and intend on getting another Kings RRT. Cheers

i dont have a kings but have an iKamper and Hannibal traditional fold out - a couple things which might help: 1) condensation - try to line every exposed aluminum with carpets and put a heavier duty shade cloth underneath the mattress to provide some air gap - best i found is green/grey matt used by RV crowd to keep their awning area clean - relative cheap and will fix 80% of your issues - but its always an issue with aluminium base/frame (similar to ikamper) - almost never an issue on hannibal tent because they use a wood base set up; 2) leading edge water (and worst bull dust) ingress - have a look at Alu Cab and other expensive RTT of same configuration and see how they resolve the issue - probably the way the lips of the bottom box section is constructed which cant be easily remedied - you can alway secure a heavy piece of rubber flap covering the gap in the front so it reduce/stops the rain and dust getting in under pressure- the rubber flap will bent when the lid is open up- you might need some velcro to make sure the flap does not flap up in the wind though. - will probably look ugly but will reduce the issue - and probably use lots of foam seal around the edges would also help 3) flapping of awning - get someone (canvass guy) to make a copy using heavier guage canvass 6 -10oz - will solve your issue except in the heaviest winds - go to the Bush Company and see if they sell you one of their heavier rods seperately (the awning on kings is a copy of theirs) Hope it all works out for you

I have a GOFSR (Freespirit Recreation) roof top on our off-road trailer. I wanted an iCamper but FSR claimed there would be massive ($$$) modification to the "tower" of the trailer to mount another tent. In any case moisture from breathing in colder temps is always a problem. FSR has an insulated version that solves much of that but we don't have that model as we are planning on Central / South America. Same problem you had with the mattress even though FSR had nearly 3 inches of mattress. But the aluminum rails could be felt. We added a queen size cooling mattress topper and it is comfy now.

How does it go in the rain do u have to zip the windows up ! Or does the canopy work well ?

Great job guys. Well I’m 6’4” would it be okay at a pinch? Is there any spare headroom/foot space for you at 6’2”? Can’t really try before I buy here in Alice Springs.

I click for the bikini and would of been a thumbs down if you hadn’t pulled out the gun show lol nice review wish they’d send them state side👍👍

Nice video, thanks for sharing 👍

Excellent and honest review. We had one pre ordered last year but cancelled the order when videos started emerging about water ingress and roof lining collapses. Hopefully that saga is in the past, they obviously did not do any pretesting before selling the product. They certainly are great value for what you get, my only issue was with the flappy and light weight awning, they need stronger spring bars and the hard mattress. We ended up purchasing another brand, a lot more expensive but I am happy with my decision. Safe travels and keep up the the vids.

thanks for the info , did u end up putting a condensation mat under your mattress ?

Just got one last week. They have put ally ribs between the roof foam and carpet to stop it falling down. Seems to be working. Can also confirm there is a second seal at the front. Biggest issue is still the rain fly. Ripped the zips off to help stop the noise but the flapping is shit.

The Kings Big Daddy swags have a hard mattress as well. I went to Kmart and bought a bamboo mattress topper.

Great video. I would love to see what you did with the additional seal. I have had mine for 3 days and it is full of water! This is the 2nd Kings roof top tent that has failed and I am getting tired of fitting then returning and doing it all again. They should water test these prior to selling. Riveting the reinforcement through the roof is such a bad method of construction. My roof is slightly concave so it pools the water to lower levels which is always where the rivet penetrate. I suspect mine is also leaking near the hinges. So frustrating.

Got the same tent - pre ordered as well. Recently got an enormous amount of water into it after a few days of rain (it was closed the entire time). Entire bottom carpet was soaked as well as the mattress. Couldn't quite pinpoint where it was entering. Have since contacted 4wdsupacentre looking for a replacement however they're unfortunately being very difficult to deal with. Hope you guys don't experience the same thing! Good review though and great idea to solve the hard mattress. I really loved the tent up until the water issue.

How is it holding up after 7 months? Any more issues come up yet? I'm looking at living in one for about 1yr

How can you carry that tent when the roof load rating is on 75kg?

Great review. I like how you tucked your thongs under the tent, Instead of just throwing them inside the tent! Good little idea!

Any way to get adventure kings products in the states

Whats the name of that rooftop tent and how much does it cost?

Try some silicone oil on the seals mate, works a treat.

Great tent

Hey Mate, great review! So good, I just had mine delivered 😆 Thanks for making the vid. Random question, what size sheets do you use as I can’t seem to find anything that properly fits. Cheers Mate 🤙🏼

Okey, i admit, my male instinct made me klick. Now i'm gonna watch the video to confirm how dumb i am.

no offence but it seems with all of the alterations you needed to make this water tight and comfortable, it doesn't seem like a good value purchase. Considering the number of cons compared to the pros - would you buy it again?

best thumbnails in overlanding

if you want to increase your subs you might want to consider not doing the click bait. you will lose a lot of potential future viewers, just a friendly suggestion. it's your channel you are free to do what you wish, i'm just trying to give some good advice. good luck, good review.

Does she come with the tent?

Cheers mate

Pack it up pack it down

Ok, I just finished trying to mount a solar panel to the top of the RTT, SIMPLY PUT , NO GO, if you want solar on top it has to be a flex panel, 300 watts is fine, into the dc dc enerdrive , 1480 x 645, 16 amps, Hard solar is to heavy, will not allow you to lift the tent up, simple as that,

Dachzelte kommen immer mehr. Ich bin auch sehr Happy mit meiner nem.

the condensation thing seems be a probem with most tents

Did it change your fuel usage much?

Lol good move to get guys to check out the video

I've never clicked on a video so fast

Bought one and never ever again will I throw my hard earned away again. The quality is shit but wait till it rains. I swagged it before n thats what ive gone back too
