THE PERFECT TOURING ROOFTOP TENT!? 

Cheers mate! Yep keen to take it on a bigger trip

No worries mate!

Glad it helped!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks mate!

Glad I could help!

Thanks 👍

Thanks 👍

Thanks!

Thanks mate! Will do 👍

No problem mate, cheers!

Haha thanks mate

Sounds like a good set up mate

Yep I definitely reckon you could mate, but then it may limit how much bedding you could fit in there when you close it. Might have to take your doona/sleeping bag out. Or it might all squish down together 😂

Cheers mate 👍

Cheers mate

How is your tent holding up Trevor?

@@dmax_travels7324 Max yep very happy with it apart from not being able to leave much bedding I there .

Cheers for the feedback mate!

Not really mate, seems to be pretty much the same

Thanks mate! Yep dad does a fair bit of fishing but not me

Awesome, hope you enjoy it! I've never noticed any problems. Seems all good to me. Are you sure the rhino rack is 40kgs? I remember handling it and thought it was pretty light 🤔

Na never tried to, doesn't worry me haha

Never used the ikamper sorry, don't know anything about them

Na light in the morning hasnt really been a problem that ive noticed. And ive had it in the rain/wind/snow now and it handled it all really well 👍

Crashed sleep system 👌

Tyler posted on Instagram asking if anyone wanted the link early. I was one those followers, because we just bought one and we’re dying for another review. Tyler also has Patreon which I think give subscribers exclusive access.

Yep I filmed and edited this video a while back and just gave the link out early to people as a lot of people were keen to see it

Nope you don't 👍 The bottom layer of the mattress is pretty hard so stops that happening

Did you end up buying one? how did it go?

@@dagamecheats ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cNpBAPXanoI.html Sure did. Love it.

I was wondering that as well

Nothing that I have noticed mate, because there is two layers of fabric there

You could probably be able to close it with it all zipped up but it would make it a bit hard to keep all the tent in the shell

@@joelackner4172 possibly. Not sure where the air will escape too when closing, be like a giant balloon. Ill need to see more of this tent before i make any definitive judgement asto get one or not.

Have had it in the rain/snow for 2 nights and opened it back up for the 2nd night and was still dry as. When it opened back up at home after the two days in the rain/snow there was a little bit of moisture in there but was minimal

Mech Fab Industries, can look him up on Facebook or instagram

never had any rain come in it, if it's super windy it flaps around a bit

Yeah the end of the floors are open once you open it up, like between the hard shell and the material so that water can run down off the tent and not get caught. It has rubber seals that squish together when you shut it to stop water and dust.

Great. when I saw your fingers poke out the bottom I figured what's the point of sealing the top of the tent if it will come from below. As you probably know there are not many places that dust doesn't get. You getting on ok with it so far? Any little changes you would make after using it for a while?

@@scotthughes9136 Yeah I haven't personally put it through much dust yet so can't comment on that but Kaito did 8000kms up cape York and he said he didn't have any dust issues. Ive had it in the rain and snow and was great. Only change ive made so far is I upgraded the mattress, just found a bit hard when you're spending a few nights on it. So I basically put a thin wooden floor in there over the bars and then a super comfy 100mm mattress over the top and its amazing now haha

@@TylerThompson90 Awesome bud, good chat thanks for the info. I'll be keeping an eye open for the long term feedback. Keep up the good work.

This is a concern of mine too. If you hit a dirt track dust HAS to get up from the bottom and in between the tent and shell. There's nothing stopping it. If you forget and leave your windows open, it's all in your bedding. It's the only thing I need a clear answer on before I pull the trigger. I think the rubber "seals" are more to stop the two halves rubbing together than to prevent water and dust ingress.

Don't really notice it much at all to be honest mate! Seems similar to before

@@TylerThompson90 Great to hear. Looks like I might pull the trigger on a rtt. This Drifta one seems super light and way cheaper than a James Baroud. Cheers mate!

How would that work? The tent can’t just balance in the middle on the roll bar lol

@@TheSillybeenbag There are 2 cross bars that hold the Pioneer tray. I'm thinking that the tent could be mounted directly to these for a cleaner install.

Yeah im not 100% sure, you could possibly do that except then you can't take the tent off to use your platform for something without having to reassemble it all. The tent is a 5 min job to get on or off, but obviously a lot longer if you're assembling platform which I still want to be able to use at times

@@TylerThompson90 I guess it depends on your use case. If you are going to be constantly taking the tent off then yeah, leave it there. If it's going to be a 'permanent' install then you could mount the tent directly to the 2 rhino bars and move the tray on top of the tent where you have 2 bars to mount it on.

China i'm pretty sure

There old models off Alibaba. Will be good to how they hold up?

Roof rack loading and vehicle roof loading is a mine field. As you have to dig deep to get some real figures from manufacturers considerations are load in motion, static loads & going off road loading. Example a Rhino - Rack with backbone setup ( premium rack/system) for 100 series land-cruiser is rated to 120 KG , with vehicle roof rated to 200 KG i believe, so you are good to go with larger 1.4 metre tent at 59 KG, think again, lets start with lighter model suitable to 100 series (42103B ) it weighs 39 KG, take this away from 120 KG, you now can only carry 81 KG ! it gets worse as when you go off road you need to divide the figure by 1.5 approximately to get off road loading due to bumps, twisting and shaking movements, thus their controlled document says for this rack off road taking into account all the above you can carry 57 KG !!!! what do 4WD's with roof rack and tent go ? off-road !!!!! Note most consumers would just see the 120 kg figure. This has implications with insurance if you are in an accident. static load is fine with 321 kg when you are sleeping up there. my message is do your home work with tent to rack set up. all that said i will be buying this tent and using the new ARB base rack !!!

OutLandyish Rig No minefield in my case In my owners manual from memory and I’ll check again tomorrow Toyota 100 Series roof allowance 120kg

@@lastknownlocation8760 I read somewhere it was 200 kg like 200 series, reality is I wouldn't load that much anyway, especially when you have to work with lower figure, which is rack constraints in this case. and I wasn't saying yours or others in this chat are overloaded, just passing on some info. The ARB base rack is loaded at 175 KG, less weight and off road calculation its good to about 100 KG, all the best cobber.

$3500

Yep we both sleep in there and plenty of room, bit more then the double swag

Geoff McGovern...Yeah, who cares ? When people ask me about my fuel consumption, I just say, "knowing that is not going to change anything, so why bother"

Need to know for outback travel.
