I don't know if you come back to older videos, but I have a few questions. Has this tent done well in rainstorms? Have you had to spray the tent down with rain repellent? Have you had any situations where water leaked in? I really like how some tents have super good sealing of the window sections, but they slant the darn tent on the sides. I appreciate you're given a canopy top to cover a tent for when it rains, but the problem with that is because the windows are slanted out from under the canopy, exposing the windows anyway, kinda defeats the purpose. I really like the stand up tents. Not the arch ones. Though you get great stand up space in the center, knowing my luck, I'd smack my face into the lower parts of the tent. 🤦‍♀️ I like how you can use this tent two different ways. I'm thinking in terms of having a place to go number 1, if you're too far away from campground restrooms. How does this tent work with mosquitoes? Especially when the flaps are over the car? I have a RAV4, so I hope the straps can be adjusted accordingly. I like the straight up tents, but then some are designed where you have to have more than 1 person to help set up. So, I appreciate that this one doesn't. Also, does this tent have double zippers tabs at the bottom? The things you pull on to zip and unzip the tent? Outside and inside? Just trying to weigh my options. And this is a 10 person tent? Thank you for your time and patience.✨️✌️

Hi May! thanks for watching and your post! lets go down in order... I haven't been through a heavy rain storm in it but I have been through light consistent rain and it has not leaked. I haven't waterproofed it yet but I am planning to soon. I think you should waterproof every tent once a year anyway. but so far, it hasn't leaked. the mosquito situation is good. even with a rav4 you should have a great seal because the straps adjust very well. It does have double zippers that you can use on the inside and out. they work very well. Im also going to take my time and clean the zippers when I waterproof it just so they stay zipping smoothly. Lastly, it is not a 10 person tent. this tent is 10x10 so at best it could fit 4 to 5 people sleeping tightly. the website say sleeps 7 but they are including 2 being inside the vehicle. I hope this answers all your questions but if you have any more please reach out again.:)

@snowbirdlady7221 Месяц назад

Nice video and explanation of the tent. I'm considering something like this for my 4 Runner. I would love to see you do a follow up review and report back how it does in heavy rain! The rain fly is a bit questionable in my opinion. Plus I would like to know how the connector does keeping out run off from the SUV.

@OJCoz Месяц назад

Yes I agree, I’m curious to know how it holds up in a rain storm also. I do think that the connection points would keep rain out of the suv and tent though.

@SasquatchChief 5 дней назад

Looks like an EZ-Up pop up sun shelter with walls. Those shelters are awkward to put up without a second person. Also would like to see how waterproof it is.

@OJCoz 4 дня назад

I haven't been through heavy rain but it's held up through light cosistent rain so far. I am going to do further waterproofing to all my tents. and as far as being awkward,, it is on the lighter side. the fabric is the same as my other tents but the poles are much lighter.

@little1400 2 месяца назад

Glad to see your review. If I had a bike rack attached with 2 bikes, how would that affect attachment at the rear bumper area? My bikes are 3 feet behind a lowered tailgate. I lose some interior space of course and am fine with it.

@OJCoz 2 месяца назад

Very good question Mark! I’m not 100% sure how to answer that. I’m actually writing back while I am camping and testing it out with the GX which has the barn door that swings out, I did loose half the door…. You just gave me another video idea:). Thanks brother! Be watching out for the video within the next 3 weeks!!!

@metsfan3177 16 дней назад

FYI $400 is pricey. Nice tent though, thank you for sharing with us.

@OJCoz 16 дней назад

It’s is, your right. But compared to a good name brand tent like the gazelle, I think it’s priced right. You can find cheaper suv tents on Amazon and trust me I went through a few before getting this one and I’m just glad they sent it to me. You’re very welcome brother!

@OJCoz 3 месяца назад

Hey Martha thanks for watching and your post. So I know this particular tent won’t but trekway has a truck bed tent on their website. Check them out!

@mrmajestic345 Месяц назад

Very cool tent, do you think it would work with a, truck and shell, also have you used it in a windy storm, was interested how it performed in winds? Thanks for video Martin

@OJCoz Месяц назад

Hey Martin thanks for watching brother. I’m actually curious to see how it fairs in a storm as well. That day I made the video, it was super windy and blowing all over the place until I anchored it down. But rain and wind I haven’t done yet. I actually do think it would work with a truck and shell combo. The bottom portion is long enough to cover from the bed door to the ground.

@tomdonaghy8757 Месяц назад

Would not a regular stand alone tent serve you better? Attaching it to your vehicle means your truck is immobilized and you are sleeping with your food, and the vehicle is no longer locked up.

@mrmajestic345 Месяц назад

@@tomdonaghy8757 This tent can be a stand alone tent, simply detach if have to leave camp.

@OJCoz Месяц назад

@tomdonaghy8757 good question Tom. In this case it does serve me better because I’m using my Commander as a camper and sleeping in it. I have two big dogs that stay in the tent. If I was sleeping in the tent with the dogs then that might be a different story.

@CyberiaVisitor 11 дней назад

Does the tent leak during rainstorms? How is the airflow cross ventilation? Does the tent sweat, as in how hot does it get inside? Is this an all season tent? Tia!

@OJCoz 11 дней назад

Hi cyberia thanks for your post. Haven’t had it in heavy rain but it did drizzle throughout the night and it stayed dry. The ventilation seemed to be fine but I also had the windows cracked in the truck. Didn’t have it sweat or condensation. And lastly I wouldn’t say it’s a four season tent. Definitely a 3 season

@OJCoz 2 месяца назад

Hi Ray, thanks for your post. It does not have a chimney vent. It is not a hot tent, more of a three season tent. Yes, it does come with tent stakes and guidelines, but I never use it. I put enough weight inside the tent. I hope this helps, if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

@kleenmary7060 Месяц назад

Why oh why do you all edit out the actual set up? Because it’s awkward? So far, after a dozen videos, only one guy showed the full set up without edits. After he was done I knew not only how it was going to go, awkward parts too, but how long it would take. Since you kept jumping past the awkward parts, this might not be the tent for me.

@OJCoz Месяц назад

I thought I showed enough of the set up. Plus I explained a lot and showed parts to it. I’m actually making another trek way video soon, this time, connecting to the GX 460 that has the barn door.

@moreclips805 Месяц назад

I thought the video was well made. Edits are necessary, unless you want to see a video full of awkward pauses. They gotta gather their thoughts and direction for each scene, otherwise it’s not a cohesive video. Look up the instruction manual if you want a step by step tutorial 😂 he should more than enough in my opinion

@OJCoz 17 дней назад

I’ll answer my question if you answer mine.. mine is: why do you ask? What do you think happens? My answer: no. I emailed this company and said if you send me this tent for free I will make the best video I can about it. I only get paid from YT on the views of this video. I only hope the sales are great now because of this video but I have no idea. I do know that I had a promo code that initially expired in a month after making this video and now it’s indefinite:). But I’m not payed by the company. I hope this answers your question. So again I ask, what did you think happens.
