4:54 The wife and I bring a "tent bag" to sleep with us. It's a little tote bag with night time essentials like earplugs, extra phone battery, Kleenex, pee bottle, etc... It's a major pain in the neck after we're comfortably tucked in only to discover we forgot something down in the truck. So yeah, spend the night in the tent before your trip to sort everything out.

I need to get into the habit of airing out my tent. I went out this weekend, and it was a little musty from sitting for a couple of weeks. Awesome video as always.

I just bought a truck where the previous owner put an over landing kit on it. I didn’t even research for understand this world was out there. Fascinating. Bro, seriously, I’m six to my son is 62 and 19 years old now we want to go fishing, and do some camping style man in your view for guys like us just starting out. I’m thinking about busting out an Amazon special but I need to know the style.

I did appreciate the procedures you go through. I have not owned a tent and not sure if I will after this

Thanks for taking the time, great informative video!!

Yup, you about covered it all. Nice job! I think folks really/hopefully benefit from talks like these. Lots of really good points here. 👊🤙

To avoid a moldy, or "old" smell with some of my gear, I started using dryer sheets of preferred scent while fabric equipments are stored

Nice job, Casey! Thanks! I found your video to be well thought out & helpful. It contains some great suggestions and food for thought. Especially, for us newbe’s. Maybe even some others that have been there and done that…but, realize they can use a few work arounds. Will be using quite a few of your experienced recommendations. Safe travels!

Great vid! A couple things I’ve learned is bring a bottle up at night. If it’s windy leave the elastic chord in it’s take down position and it will help the tent from flapping around(clam shell style) and buy some cheap levelling blocks at princess auto and use the inclimeter in the car/truck also use a half mattress if your by yourself so you aren’t messing up the mattress! 🤘

Thanks for the video. I just installed my RTT like three hours ago and was reviewing for a shakedown trip in the driveway when I found your video. Condensation is my biggest concern and your covered it! Thanks.

I have a Roofnest Overland Gen 1 and store a fitted sheet, flat sheet, flannel blanket, and 3 super fluffy full sized pillows in there. Great video.🤙

I found Dry Z air works really well in my tent, I loaded up a sock and threw it up there in the winter when I wasn’t using it absolutely no condensation or mold. Second winter with it on full time no mould yet.

I’m a new RTT owner. I just had it open this week to acclimate myself, also to air out that “new tent” smell. Do you zip all the windows and entry doors shut before closing? If not, why not? I zipped everything closed which made it take longer to close. I plan on spending a couple of nights in it at home as suggested. However, we just had a spring snowstorm so that will need to wait. Thanks for putting this video together.

I bought the RoofNest Falcon 2, now waiting for favorable weather to try it out. 1st official trip with it will be at the Moore Expo April 19th

Thank you for the video. I've been thinking 💭 f buying a RTT, I'll have to watch your other video on the 3 types. Lots of great tips here that I will consider 👍

This felt rambly. Also, the more I hear about RTT setups the happier I am with my ground tent that takes 5 minutes to set up or tear down and I can dry it in my basement when I need to.

The alucab fabric is thick and heavily coated/sealed so it doesn't breathe at all. You need to keep a vent open for fresh air. If you sleep in it sealed up (in cold weather), you will wake up with effects of elevated CO2 levels. I only run mine in the cold with a diesel heater to bring in fresh air. You could also not run a heater but you really need to keep at least the tiny top vent open and crack a side vent open too. That will, of course, let cold in so prepare for that.

Hey Casey - One of the questions I have about the iKamper style is if you think the rainfly gets truly tight enough to shed water properly. (Wondered this after your wet night in yours). Sold my soft shell stylel, but have a 6'5" son so...I need something that a truly tall person can sleep in.

You need to purchase a Bush Company AX27 RTP. They’re available at Grizzly Overland in Vancouver, BC. Without question the best RTP for the Pacific NW.

Can you share some info on putting the alu cab load bars on the rhino rack backbone base plate things on the roof? Im trying to lower my tent.

Hey Casey.. what kind of bed rack do you have on your Gladiator? It looks good want to check it out. Thanks!

Hello Case. I’m interested in installing my first time ever lift kit on my 21 JT Gladiator Willys edition. What are your thoughts and experiences with the MetalCloak suspension and lift kits….? Im going for an overland look but yet my JT is my daily driver. I constantly haul tools for work while, going on weekend overloading adventures.

Question-Any issues with the tent closing on you when your in it? Also, can you pull the ladder up into the tent so that others cannot climb up when your in it?

Just watched the last video mate what a pleasant surprise to see 12 min ago upload!

When not in use a good place to store the mattress is on the pool table that gets used as much as my workout equipment...... LOL

Just bought the Topoak Galaxy 1.0 after watching your review for our Gladiator

what do you use to as a water repellent on the out side ??

What about All the rooftop tent leaking in the last video while driving the gladiator. That seemed to be excessive leaking to me.

Hi. Have you tried the Presto MY JO coffee maker? Similar to AeroPress but designed for K cups.

How did you setup shelf in Clam tent?

Thanks for the advice!

Besides the rain, what caused your Roof Nest tent to leak so bad in the last video? It seemed to be pretty excessive to me.

That was very informative. Thanks!

Hey good vidéo for information thank’s for that. But another way, I saw you have a glacier Ecoflow ? Are you satisfied with ? I buy one but about 6 month only really one month an alf of using , the LCD of temptur become to give me a wrong indication exmple inside Ihave -15ºC and the LCD indicat me +35ºc 😮 , I’m afraid it’s bit of track (not hard just road track ) with the glacier on for temperature control. Did you test it on track without any problem ? I regret my purchase , I should have an ARB ZERO 40 Ltre 😢 . Thank for you answer and enjoy your trip :-) and your nice country I live in north africa and a lot of problems with the very little represented material her ,so you have to tinker yourself for any part isn’t on the market. And I built a roof tent with the means of the edge, and your video gave me good advice . Again thank’s and enjoy.

Fun game drink every time he says rooftop tent.

Thanks for the info as always

Hey Casey I bought a OVS clamshell rtt. I notice went I open it, the extension part doesn’t go all the way down. Unless you put weight on it. Is that normal ?

any thoughts on the cheaper amazon rooftop tents options that are half the price. and the Aero Press makes great coffee

Great video Casey

Good video one of your best tutorials. And for the people chipping on you about advertisements, I find it hard to believe they don’t understand sponsorship. I was involved with NASCAR for many years as well other forms of racing as well I relied on sponsorship to help fund my racing, so I wonder if complaining people watch racing and complain about sponsors on vehicles lol. I think you’re doing your advertisements in a very concise and brief way, well done. ✌️ And if the folks complaining are reading this, keep in mind sponsorship is what allows many people the opportunity to entertain you👍

Hi. Just bought a clamshell RTT. Any opinion on which side it opens to (driver or pass side)? Does it matter? Thx

Do you ever take your dog or dogs and how does that work thanks

Thanks for the insight

do you like the overland 2? we are considering the 2 xl and and overland 2 xl. would you make the same decision today?

RU-vid force you to put roof tent even if you dislike the idea . I sit with ma self and decided to sleep in car and easy to go out and take a piss in a bottle or out the car 😢

The amount of roof top tent content on this channel has me looking elsewhere.

this is becoming a sales channel.. yeah enough of these

How about focusing on how horrible them free tents you received that you sponsored on how they leak , my roof top tent doesn’t leak. And I don’t get paid for it .these are getting back on the push on products but I guess you need more money.

I’m getting ready buy one so this video is helping me !👍
