You’re welcome, I’m glad to hear it helped ease some nervousness! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! I appreciate it, you too🤙🏼

I appreciate it! Thanks for watching🤙🏼

Poor Blazey Mae, she’s never done anything to you😭🤣 (Ngl, she was a bit close though🫣)

Thank you, I appreciate you watching! My tent’s 84” long and 52” wide, and the bars underneath it that connect to my crossbars are spaced roughly 26 1/4” apart (29 3/4” outer to outer edge). I still have stock crossbars and it doesn’t fit perfect on them, but has worked so far! Haha

@@Morgan.Bentley Thank you so much for the reply! Ok awesome! The tent I got is 83x52 so basically the same measurements and I also have stock crossbars on my 2016 Crosstrek. Looking to take it out this weekend and from the looks of the tent when I took it out of the box I was thinking it was way too big but I feel a lot better now haha. Keep up the amazing content👏

You’re welcome! I was thinking the exact thing when I first got this one. Had to take a big gulp, and just go for it. Haha Glad I brought you some peace of mind, let me know how it goes! & Thank you, I gotchu!! 🙏🏼

@@Morgan.Bentley haha ya thank you so much! I have the tent up on top of my car now and the crossbars are flexing a little bit, should I be worried or is that normal for the crossbars to have a little bit of give?

@ondeckcrushed Anytime! & I don’t notice mine flexing any tbh. If I push the back down pretty hard it has the tiniest bit of give, but it’s barely even noticeable

I appreciate the kind words!! & Thank you, they’re ready to go again already🤣 Meeee too! I feel like I get the best sleep most of the time like that. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it🤙🏼

🤘🏼🤘🏼

Such a cool one! & thank you, I appreciate you watching and commenting🤙🏼

Soooo beautiful!! & I still think about this trail daily. You’re welcome, thanks for watching🤙🏼 We loved it too, so ready to go back sometime!

@@Morgan.Bentley Me too, Sedona will live in your heart . I will be back.

At this point this one needs to be retired on display!! Gotta get me another several from ya asap🤙🏼🤣

@@_negentropy_ You’re welcome! & I appreciate it, thanks for watching🤙🏼

Thank you!! I really appreciate it🤙🏼

I can still open it, but it does hit the latches that open the tent. It’s left some scuff marks on my car, but not too bad. I should’ve touched on that in this video, but I do show them a little in my year update I posted a couple months ago if you want to see what it’s done so far: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqLKh4Njp5VjeK8si=mW71d0JhXB1HZXqp

@@BillFerris Right! It’s super similar to them. & thank you, I appreciate it

Thank you, I really appreciate that!! & I got you! You saying that motivates me to post all that much more. Washington’s also on the top of the list for places to visit asap. It looks absolutely unreal from the pictures and video’s I’ve seen

Thank you! & nice, bet that’s beautiful. I’ll check y’all out🤙🏼

Thank ya🤙🏼

@@dominiquemaldonado1906 Dang, that does look almost just alike! I bet it looks really nice on your forester. & thank you, I appreciate it!

@@Squirrel.in.the.wild_13 Yeah, but not by much! I think the dynamic weight holds around 150-60lbs, says don’t go over 170lbs, and static around 700-750 (could be a little off, but I think it’s right around that). My tent weighs around 140, so it’s pretty close, but with my wife + all of our stuff we’re a couple hundred under the static weight still. It’s held up so far, but I was a bit worried at first. I’ve had it a bit over a year now, and it still worries me a bit on longer trips, but it’s held up great so far *knock on wood*

I did, but not much honestly. Before I averaged around 28 - 34mpg and after 26 - 32. So roughly 2 - 4mpg hit on average I’d say. I got new tires (a lot more aggressive) a few months ago though and those did a lot more damage to gas mileage. I bet that looks nice on your Forester! Out of curiosity, do you have stock cross bars, or others? Because mine are stock and I noticed they sit really low, so that’s been one of my worries when looking for new ones. Others seem to sit up higher, so I think might drop my gas mileage a little more

@@Morgan.Bentley I have the Rino Rack Crossbars crossbars. They are relatively low and aerodynamic. I'm thinking about coming up with some type of a wind deflector but since the Inspired Overland is a Toneu material, there isn't a way to mount it on the face of the RTT.

I didn’t expect it to be so pretty with all the foliage and scattered tree’s. I wouldn’t say that it was boring, it was cool in its own way and the views were pretty dope I thought. The cave was a plus, but the scenery kinda blew me away a bit! I thought it was a good intro into Sedona for us. Sorry you didn’t enjoy it as much

Thank you, I appreciate it❤️

@@BobWilcox I got you!! & ohh yeah, one of our favorite places we’ve visited so far. Definitely would recommend it!

I didn’t even think of that, thanks for that tip!

You didn’t, I totally forgot to touch on that. There isn’t any specific branding on this one. It’s similar to the roofnest falcon 3 xl (closest thing I’ve found to it), but my dad had ordered a few of these from someone and I got one from him. He had reached out to a manufacturer directly. You can find similar ones on Amazon, but I’ve honestly never been able to find this specific one.

Are you’re talking about the overall price vs how many times I’ve stayed in it? I’ve only had it one single year, and camped probably 20-25 times overnight in it, and popped it up to relax for a nice evening and nap Idek how many other times. I don’t look at it as far as how much it costs me per night because what about several years down the road and a couple hundred stays later? At that point it’ll technically be $’s spent for camping. I guess it really just depends on how much you’ll be camping because even if you buy a $500 tent, but only camp 5 nights a year, at that point you’re paying $100 a night to camp in a regular tent too for that first year. So I guess it’s really just however you want to look at it. Ps, I paid around $1.5k for this tent, so with my overnight stays + naps/ evenings relaxed in it I’d say I’ve probably used it around 50 times, on the low end. So that is around $30 per use, after just one year. Again, I don’t look at it like that because after another year that number should realistically half, as long as I use it as much as I did again. I don’t like spending money, but personally have been more than happy with this purchase so far, and would 100% buy one again.

It seems to be completely waterproof when shut. I haven’t seen any signs of water damage, so far at least. (I did forget to let it dry out one night after camping in some rain, and it did get some mold on it, but I got it cleaned off.) As far as the make and model, there isn’t any specific branding on this one. It’s similar to the roofnest falcon 3 xl (closest thing I’ve found to it), but my dad had ordered a few of these from someone and I just got one from him. Lol He had reached out to a manufacturer directly somehow.

Without the rooftop tent I typically got 28-34mpg, then with I get 26-32ish. However, I recently got new, more aggressive tires and this did a lot more to the mpg than the tent. With the more aggressive tires and the tent, it averages 22 - mid 27 now. I don’t think I’ve got 28 since putting them on, and before the tent and tires I didn’t get under 28. 100% worth imo though!

Yep!! I always try to park so that I can book it out asap if I ever get in a less than ideal situation. & hopefully not, but thank ya!!

It’s actually not even branded yet. My dad got a bulk order from a wholesaler that was a test run of them. It’s similar to the roofnest falcon xl line, but I honestly don’t even have a site. My dad had done a lot of researching and when he’d told me he bought several I just bought one from him. Haha

I’d be down! They do group rides every week too that I’ve been meaning to start going on. & that’s totally fine

You’re welcome! It’s definitely a fun one with suuuper rewarding views. Hope you enjoy it!

It’s so fun, and stays pretty dry to for the most part! & anytime!

Nice!

Thanks, I appreciate it! & 21 is definitely the worst it gets, and we had also went from around 1,500’ elevation, to 6,000’ish getting to Arizona. So, it got better over the trip!

@@Morgan.Bentley Thanks for the information. Another KZbinr Lauren R S, also stated that she takes a 2 mpg hit with her Condor XL RoofNest tent on her Crosstrek. So, she just leaves hers on her roof 24/7.

@tysontyson1244 Anytime! & ohh yeah, for the little difference I always leave mine on too. I also love to just pop it up on a nice day, even if it’s to relax in it for a bit. Also, not gonna lie, it’s kind of a bit of a pain to get it on, so I really don’t wanna do that again😂

You’re welcome! & it’s definitely a bucket list hike in my opinion

Would be so sick!! Definitely want to

I’m sorry that y’all had that type of experience, especially with living in the area. Unfortunately that is the reality of trails with this type beauty sometimes, and we were honestly blown away, and still are that we got to see it how we did. Thanks for watching, and I’m glad we could take you along! I hope y’all try again sometime and have a better experience, it’s truly a remarkable adventure❤️

100%! Didn’t even feel real

🫶🏼

❤️

Thanks dude, I appreciate that! & the views blew us away our entire trip, I’m beyond hyped to get the rest of the videos out!

Yeah, for sure! She’s just not as comfortable talking directly to the camera as I am. I don’t want to ever put her in a position that makes her uncomfortable, so I try not to cram the camera in her face. I’m trying to find a way to incorporate more conversations into video’s though to get her talking more in them! Also, I get extra hyped out in nature so it gets me babbling extra sometimes! Thanks for the criticism though, we’re working on it!

Honestly, I somehow hadn’t heard of that, but looked it up just now and it’s added to the list for next time! Thanks for that!

Sounds like a great trip! The biking around looks soooo sick. We had almost brought our bikes, but decided we didn’t want to leave them on our rack while hiking. Definitely plan to take them back next time though

Right! We knew it was going to be pretty, but it really blew all expectations

Thank you, I appreciate that! Thanks for watching and commenting.

I appreciate that! I’ve definitely been slacking on the camping videos, buuuut, have a road trip planned soon, so hope to have more up within the next couple weeks! It really is such a pretty world sometimes, always love me a good night under the stars. & Brother I am so glad someone got that reference😂😭

🫣 they need some dust knocked off… Plan to get er done soon!
