I’ve been using this RTT for almost a year, including a lot of winter camping in snow, ice and rain. Holding up great and does everything I need it to do. Keeps me warm and dry, sets up and takes down quickly. Study and plenty of room for my wife and myself. Only thing I’ve upgraded was the mattress

@musatchey4614 Месяц назад

I have this tent and it has been awesome! Took a chance as my first RTT and it paid off. TopOak even makes an additional insulation layer that you can use for cold-weather camping. I have used it in sub-30-degree weather with high winds and it was a champ. I hope this changes the market in terms of what these all RTT cost in the long run. Overlading is already expensive and paying 4k for a tent is kind of insane ha.

@paulsanchez4141 Месяц назад

Very nice for the price beats $4500

I’m the one who had this same tent at the patron meetup!! Love this tent. For the price, can’t beat it. I only get 2-3 years out of a tent anyway.

@toddraymond2348 Месяц назад

I bought this tent after watching outdoor auto’s review last fall. We used it winter camping and are looking forward to our summer adventures with it.

@davidritacurl797 Месяц назад

I agree. The little kick-out makes the wedges a lot more usable and probably the only reason I'd consider one.

@KyleEven Месяц назад

Great video and review! I got rid of my Smittybuilt XL and replaced with an off road squaredrop for a few reasons. 1. My wife was tried of climbing up and down the stairs in the middle of the night. 2. It was heavy 3. The cover was a pita to take off and put on. Now youve got me considering this for my solo trips. Plus it would work on top of my square drop in the case I'm ever blessed with Grandkids some day and they would want to come along. First time commenter, Cheers!

@herbhometales8255 Месяц назад

Off topic here. Just saw you “ Dont’t Be That Guy” video. Thank you sooooo much for this ! I love off roading! Most folks are truly thoughtful and enjoy the wild beauty. But our Ozarks are a very fragile ecosystem… the streams are fragile and many of the plants here fall into the At Risk category, some even in Endangered. Thos creek sides are the environment where many of them thrive. I just wanted to thank you for bringing up staying on trail.

I just ordered the 2.0 Tuesday. Excited to get it in and try it out

@pauloulliber1414 Месяц назад

I have been impressed by several of the "amazon" tents. For the vast majority of people who camp once a month at most, its hard to pay 3-4K for a tent when these others exist for 1/3 the cost. I recently purchased a Naturenest off amazon and it seems very well made, came with features others charge a lot extra for, and features others don't even offer like a 12v USB and cig lighter hub! Even had Anderson style connectors on the bottom to run power convienently.

I like the wedge tents but very few provide an awning over the door for those nights when it is pissing with rain like here in the northeast.

Top oak has a version 2.0 that has those "awnings" over the doors/windows. It is about $200 more for the 2.0 which just came out this week.

@andrewstocker7457 Месяц назад

lI do like the TOPOAK tent, and really like my clam shell iKamper but also like the rigidness of a wedge style RTT. How much clearance over the roof are you allowing for flexing on obstacle so that there is no hard contact with the fiberglass roof?

@theunlikelyoverlander Месяц назад

Ive been hearing good things about these. Once i finish building my other rig i will be in the market but they are a bit long for my little samurai lol.

@redwhitenshoe Месяц назад

If you need a long term review that would fit nicely on my gladiator ;)

@tommieiler2811 Месяц назад

How close is the tent to the cab? I am waiting for my tent to arrive. A little concerned about the gap between the cab and tent. Any flexing or bouncing that may cause contact with the roof. I live here in Arkansas maybe our paths will cross someday. Thanks in advance for the reply.

@NorthernCoveCreations Месяц назад

I have the Naturnest which is about the same thing, cost a couple hundred more , has all the same stuff but I have the blackout fabric and love it, I love everything about mine, yes ladder could be better but overall a absolutely great product.

@OzarkOverlandAdventures Месяц назад

NatureNest does not have the kick out back piece.

@catherinestitt9640 Месяц назад

I have the Naturenest that I got from Amazon, which is very similar to the Top Oak - I do wish mine had the skylight but the Top Oak was out of stock when I was looking to make the purchase, and the Naturenest had a pretty substantial coupon on Amazon. I have no doubt that there are "nicer" tents, and perhaps for heavy users those are appropriate, but I certainly think for many people the Top Oak or Naturenest will open the door for a RTT experience. I have been a long time ground tent camper, and I haven't gotten rid of my ground tents - but my knees appreciate the rooftop tent much more than setting up the ground tent and I don't have to bring as much stuff in the car!

@elegymusic Месяц назад

minus the clamshell aspect these are the same materials as my CVT RTT. the checkered pattern on the roof is exactly the same. the mattress is the same, but id wonder if the plastic window skylight will fog over like the CVT ones did or if they changed the material. Id bet money that the same people who either sourced this or made this used the same as CVT. Not saying its bad because i havent had a problem with mine at all yet.

@judhardcastle7931 Месяц назад

Matt, Completely off the topic here but...new to offroading and trying to decide on whether to replace my factory tonneau cover with something--topper or rack. With your open rack have you ever had a problem with a bear or other varmint? Seems like the food & cooking smells would attract them. My soft tonneau wouldn't last a minute. Jud

There are people who would spend over 5K for one. I am shamelessly one of them. It was either $5,600 for a Gen 3r with all the additional accessories I wanted or the KC Gravity Titan lights + Topoak. That was a no brainer.

I'm considering this for my Bronco for that very reason. BTW, bears can climb ladders.

What I like the most about RTT tent is that I can park the Jeep on different terrains and still, I will be able to sleep comfortably. My wife goes with me camping and yes, I have the false sense of security and I can sleep way better. I have to say that I'm a sissy that enjoys nature. Same places as everyone else (okay, most places), and I'm not even a citizen of this country! I love the geography of this country.
