Tepui Roof Top Tent Review | 1 Year After Purchase 

Thanks for this excellent review Noah! I think this is more comprehensive than the profiles on the Tepui site. Thanks for actually taking the viewer inside the tent and hanging out in there to give us a genuine experience of what it's like inside the tent. Happy Camping!

Great review Noah, better than most. I just wanted to add a tip or two. That moisture on you inner tent walls in the morning, ... that's condesation from your exhaled breath and vapour from your body heat etc. If you open up those roof skylights, and all windows and doors so that the screens are closed but the closures are partially open, that will go a long way to preventing much of that vapour from condensing on the inside of your tent. The colder it it is outside, and thus the colder the surface (tent walls) that your breath etc. is contacting, the worse the condensation problem will be, (ie. in cold weather and/or winter camping you will battle indoor rain, frost and ice in the tent overnight). The other point I noticed is when you opened the tent up with the ladder, if you extend that ladder all the way you have a much longer lever to pull down on easing the unfolding effort. then once half open, walk away from the tent pulling the unfolding half past 'top-dead-centre' and then gravity works in your favour the rest of the way before shortening the ladder. There is also lots of good available accessories such a iPhone/iPad mounts that clamp to those frame bars inside and LED light strips that can hang from the bars, a 12-volt car battery in the back of your truck bed with a solar panel trickle charger sitting on the cab to keep all electronics going, can add some nice entertainment and ambience if you are waiting out the weather up there. Thx for the video and enjoy the roof top camping.

Thanks, great video. You are the only one that a has shown the inside-really appreciate that!

Great video! I have the same tent! About the condensation buildup I’ve found that if I take one of the skylight zippers and crack it open by about 2 inches it really helps cut back on how much moisture develops.

I am so thankful that you made this video. You basically just sold me on this brand tent.

Great video man. I have zero interest in the tent but I saw an ad for it and thought WTF is that! And now I know everything. Cool product. Thanks

6:08 was a missed opportunity for a dirty joke. Also thank you so much for this, this was a genuine review of the tent I’m buying, thanks!

Thanks> I've had mine in the box for ~3 years now and just installed/set it up. Great help!

Im hooked on this roof tent, I must have one!

"he on X-Games mode" hahahaha

This video is super informative and the outro seriously pwns. Love the off camera beverage toss.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Just put this on top of my car today and your tips and modeling how you open/close were super helpful!!! :-D

Great review. I have been thinking of buying this for a bit. My question would be: How hard would it be to be on my minivan and set up by someone that is 5’3”? Seriously thanks for the interior view.

Re the moisture inside your rooftop , try unzipping one of your skylight openings just an inch or so... that should help with the airflow and reduce that issue... just a thought...

Sweet review, thinking of getting the 4 person version. Btw, what type of bed rack do you have? I got a taco too and like that setup.

I loved your detailed review, especially the inside. I do wonder how it connects to the pickup bed or, for me, a mini van roof?

That last part tho, awesome video..very informative!

Nice review, my overland tent just arrived (basically identical, probably sourced from same supplier) super exciting to use it on my tacoma

Thanks for the review!! Been looking for a RTT to throw up on my 4Runner. You mighta just convinced me this is the way to go!

That was a very thorough rtt review. Thank you for that!

Right on, man- great review. You're helping me decide. I really appreciate that you went IN the damn thing and showed us!! I haven't found that yet and it's been driving me insane haha I have a question though, those ties inside that keep the tent taut, they unhook while you're inside, right? You just left them up for convenience of the video I assume. Just checking! Thanks!

interesting... you leave the foam pad in there all the time?? I've thought about doing that myself. maybe that's why the straps are tight for closing the tent.

seems like you could hang a shoe organizer on the inside of the ladder that zips them away from the elements.

Great video thinking about getting this Thule x Tepui Explorer Ayer 2

Great, informative and practical video. Thanks man.

Wow! Watching this right now, I would love to purchase one... can you share the exact model on this one?

The extra mattress is a great idea. And you leave it in the tent when it’s packed up? Is it hard to close? Tell me how you it.

hey about those you call strings in the tent. will those be removed while sleeping in the tent?

Awesome. Would you buy it all over again? How's it do in the wind?

how do you make sure it is level for sleeping??

Awesome video, makes me want to buy one for sure!! Thank you!

Great review, I'm sold!

If you pop open the windows a little it will stop the condensation cuz all it is is your breath so a couple vents should stop it

Great video, on how to set it up. Want to get it in blue with the annex.

what if it rained last night and keeps on drizling, how can i dry it out and keep driving for the next day?

How does the tent perform in high winds? Good video - good information

Good video, thanks for showing me

Seems like you could save the cover velcro by just threading the carabiners through the loops to put it on and take it off. Thanks for the review. Glad you keep self defense in mind while snugged up in the tent. #Pro2A

What kind of zipper issues were you having on the cover? Mine has jammed a few times on the blue part (the underside/bottom half of the cover zipper assembly) and that part has been torn up a good bit as a result. I've lubed the zipper to try to make that less likely but not sure it's helping.

Appreciate the comprehensive review Noah! Do you have an opinion on the standard vs ruggedized version of this model relative to the additional cost? Thanks man!

Noah, great video man. A lot of questions answered. However, I do have a couple more... I have the same truck, how would you say the RTT affects the gas mileage? Secondly, could you provide some information as to the bed rack it's mounted to? Do you like it? Lastly, how difficult is it to mount the tent to the truck? Thanks again!

Great review. They should give you some benefits for doing this.

Almost 2022 now. How is the tent holding up? Do u keep it on your truck full time?

On the added foam, does it have to be rolled up to close the tent or can it lay flat??

Are those bungee cords on the inside permanent? When being in use, can you undo them for more comfort? Or do they have to be attached at all times?

Very nice. Thanks for the review.

Do any cold weather snow camping in it? If so how’s it hold up.

Could those vents along the top side(the triangle looking ones) open? Or support a hose, like one coming from a diesel heater?

Great review! Looking to purchase one of these. The only concern I have is the tent cover or tent getting ripped on branches during trail rides. Has this been an issue? Thanks so much!

The 4 legs that are mounted on the pickup sides that hold up the tent, do they come with it?

So what u think bro ? Would you go back to ground tent ? Would you recommend for those who camp maybe 4 -5 a year?

Very informative, thanks!

I’m in CO too. How’s the insulation in the Tepui? Have you done any winter camping yet?

Will you still fit in a standard size garage? Thank you for video!

Nice review! I just got this tent, still waiting for the Thule rack to arrive for my Tacoma off road. Do you have the Thule rack? Also planning to do the Faulken tires soon too, they serving you well?

Did you use a "full" size mattress topper? Or a Queen?

Thanks! One question, do you close up the tent with the extra foam pad and blankets? Thanks

By ladder rings do you mean rungs?

what type of set up do you need to have for the truck or vehicle bars for the tent to be able to attach to the top?

Do you have a link for the mattress pad?

Thank you so much. Very informative!! Also thanks for showing the inside...you are right, most videos are lacking the inside view. - Jen

I’m not sure if you mentioned it but how much did the tent cost?

what size is the mattress topper you threw in there?

May I ask what kinda mattress pad you have?

You two are cool. Good video.

What bed rack are you using on your Taco?

Just bought mine ! Looking for that lavender mattress, did you have to cut yours to make it fit the tent ?

Great review man!

Quick question is your truck lifted?

how wide is it between your cross bars?

Gracias bro!

How much did you pay for your tent?

Hey everyone, I'm selling that Tepui Autana 3 with annex brand new still in box, located in Southern California. Let me know if you're interested!

All good you forgot to pack your window etc poles on closing they still in the back of you bukkie.. Cool man oh no shoes in tent lol but only dogs in tent u funny hey Goodman good video. Now lets see your better half hava go. . please

Shots inside the tent was so DIZZYING!

In most countries we dont bring firearms when camping! ruined the video for me.

Hold on, I threw up trying to watch this horrible video. Brah, let some else film it next time.
