8 New Roof Top Tents and Lightweight Camping Inventions You Can Afford

[@davejones6812]

I had no idea these even existed. Maybe the coolest thing ever! The ingenuity of people never ceases to amaze me.

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi, Dave. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing your feedback!

[@Merakai01]

Very silly money! For the amount of times most people would use them per year you may as well go glamping. Or just get a hammock and a bivvy would be much cheaper👌

[@Naessey]

Nicholas Ray I have a couple of friends who purchased RTTs in 2018. They both leave the tent always always fitted and avg 20+ overnight trips last year vs five in 2017 - excluding school holidays. You are correct that it didn’t increase their longer trips, but they found having the tent (always on) allowed them to have a quick overnight, which is what I do as well. I have the iKamper Mini and yes, expensive but like my friends, leave it always on.

[@MustSeeTech]

Overlanding has become affordable. Just equip your car with a roof top tent and enjoy camping! Tell us what you think about this way of exploring the nature i the comments below.

[@catalinpastiu6740]

I used to be interested in these tents until I realized that if you have a SUV you don't need a tent at all, you can fold down the seats and put a mattress inside. If you want to camp just get a regular tent, or, if you don't want to sleep on the ground, a tent cot - much cheaper and longer lasting.

[@MustSeeTech]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Folded seats and a mattress is indeed a viable solution if you are traveling alone or as a couple, but what if you need to sleep 4? The roof top tent would be a great solution, don't you agree? Though I can't argue with the tent cot, you beat me there.

[@Naessey]

catalin pastiu I felt exactly the same way until I purchased a iKamper Mini and would never go back. Having the extra room and ability to camp in less ‘camp friendly’ environments has opened up a number of new avenues. Yes, camping in the SUV is cheaper, but you are restricted on carrying food, water, solar and ability to explore.

[@Knarf2285]

Nice, but how well do they handle wind? Would love to see how these pop-up tents do with a 30 MPH wind.

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi, Frank. That is a valid concern. I believe they should hold just ok. The Skycamp, for example, has been tested against 40mph winds

[@wilfredoramirez6281]

Can they withstand gusts of wind? and at what speed

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi, most of them are wind resistant, but only Heimplanet and Tent Box provide actual numbers. It is 44mph and 39mph

[@steve68vw]

Afford? Wtf yeah let me just pull out 2-3k I got laying around

[@Chasing-the-outdoors]

Ridiculously Unaffordable when compared to a regular tent. The rack to install these costs extra as well. We tend to camp around 50 nights a year and still can’t commit to such a crazy price.

[@sosteve9113]

Good point there

[@jorgeplaza3406]

Way todo expensive! Besides I wonder if car roofs are designed to stand such a weigt

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi, Jorge. They are. As to the pricing, I can't argue about that as people have different understandings of what is expensive and what is not.

[@stephanemeier4851]

Pas forcément d’accord, j’en ai un sur un 4x4, je peux sortir des sentiers battus, et peu importe où j’ai ma tente sans galets avec un petit matelas en mousse haute densité, j’ai eu longtemps des tentes standard et c’est le sommet, et franchement dormir à 2m30 de hauteur, se réveiller avec cette vue est vraiment génial. pour le prix en fait, mais c'est subjectif, j'ai payé environ 1000.- pendant 6 ans. C'est aussi 1m60 x 2,20m en 6 ans. J'ai dormi peut-être 150 fois avec ce qui est 6 .- la nuit, je pense que cela valait la peine il

[@f42un84u]

It degrades mileage 10% or more on highway and possibly makes noise. Can have a glamping set up for far less.

[@01Bazaar]

at 9:35 am on the Peugeot Rifter 4x4 is mounted an Overland (www.autohome-official.com/en/) which comes directly from Air Camping (www.air-camping.it/). My Air camping is now over 30 years old, but as good as new. Very solid material designed for hard travel.

[@MustSeeTech]

Awesome 👍 thanks for sharing!

[@MrUberjan]

Mine has also seen its fair share of use but still spotless :) these tents are built to last :)

[@abdokallab5996]

Hey thanks for this amazing video! I prefer the most the Ikamper sky camp and I also liked the Peugeot one.

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi there! Thanks for sharing your tastes. The iKamper is a great setup, I also like the Roofnest for their availability on Amazon

[@philipcarlson8696]

Good job on the comparisons and variations.

[@MustSeeTech]

Hey, Philip! Glad to be of service! Thanks for your support! Which tent is the best option in your opinion?

[@experimenteks3974]

I've seen so many rooftop tents made in China and are under 1kUSD. Some of these tents are just so ridiculously expensive.

[@ricosmith7084]

They're ALL made in China! The companies that sell them do so at an incredible markup price. I purchased one off Alibaba for less than $1000. It is an Tepui without the Tepui brand name.

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi, Rico. Have you camped with it already?

[@adukke]

Nice to know options... but the word affordable certainly doesnt really fit here... I am camping lover, and here in Venezuela off-roading and setting camp has a huge following ... but paying 2 thousand or more for a tent is really a high price, however most enthusiast go for it because the convenience that it gives to the camping experience. They are great, but really not affordable to the average person...

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi. Thanks for your feedback. Appreciate it. Many of these tents include additional features, like lights, USB ports, etc. The cost of the material is indeed minimal, but the tech and the construction itself cost money

[@cindylong624]

some people make their own-check on youtube

[@ronactive]

Immer wieder interessant, welche Arten es von Dachzelten gibt. Fahren selber jetzt seid einem Jahr mit Dachzelt durch die Länder und sind begeistert. Leider ist nur die Höhe des Vorzeltes bei einem unserem Dacia Duster zu hoch, so dass durch die Falten Wasser nach innen dringt. Aber dafür findet sich sicher auch eine Lösung.

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi, Ron. Thank you for your comment. My German is a little rusty, so I am not sure I understand it entirely. Would you be able to rewrite it in English?

[@vinnyha5793]

it’s super nice... i saw it’s on the roads, i thinking to get one, but i don’t know how it’s work, i install myself or else...???

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi there. All of these are easy to be installed and usually come with video manuals available on KZbin. If you have chosen a particular model that fits your needs and price, you can contact the manufacturer and ask for more detailed info

[@lindapasaribu7066]

roof top tent is very practical

[@rallgor1]

I like the roof tent idea.

[@MustSeeTech]

Yep. It is a rather clever solution to avoid flooding during heavy rains, plus installation is ridiculously easy and could be done without searching for an appropriate camping spot. What model matches your needs and pricing expectations the most?

[@phill-w]

This is a great know how, 👌😁

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi. What tent did you like?

[@donaldharrison3031]

What an interesting video, only thing is that they forgot the best roof tent out there, that's right the Smittybilt tent. Lowest cost and highest performance of any tent bar none.

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi, Donald. Thanks for your suggestion. I will check it out.

[@LightofBankai]

Yep. Bought my Smittybilt XL Overland Tent for $800.

[@sm6wet]

What is the best roof top tents for a dodge charger?

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi. If you are not joking, technically, any would do. Just make sure that the dimensions match

[@w0nt0nj0n]

Umm none. They're intended to be used in nature. Your charger needs to stay off the trails for the safety of others.

[@colombiabienesservicios3968]

In Colombia Where are these Roof Top? Or where I can contact?

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi, not sure if any of them are sold in Colombia. Sorry. You can Google the manufacturer of the tent that you are interested in, and contact them.

[@timothyjamieson1282]

How do the car roofs stand up to the weight? Every roof rack I have seen from Thule etc is rated at 75 odd kilos. These tents weigh that much before anyone even climbs inside. Don't they damage the roof of the car? Could be even more expensive camping trip then!

[@cindylong624]

My guess would be these are factory installed roof racks

[@MrUberjan]

The 75kg is for when the car is moving. The biggest pull on the roof rack is because of the winds on high speed. When youre standing still you can easily load a lot more weight on the car.

[@jeepsykings8892]

Insane prices !!!!! A roof top tent can`t cost more than $500 Dlls . But we as consumers need to stop buying things at Stratospheric prices even when we have the money to do it. I have a Smmitybilt Roof Top tent and cost me $800 Dlls and I m still crying for buying it :(. It`s nothing of other world , it`s just a tent with rails that you can install on your car`s roof !that`s all!

[@MustSeeTech]

Hi. Thanks for your comment. You are right, things cost as much as people are ready to pay for them. Other than the price, do you enjoy your roof top?

[@bryanmcentush4788]

Affordably, priced well, good priced. These adjectives are a masking point for saying cheap quality. Good tools aren't cheap, cheap tools aren't good. This is true for all things in life. Camping is a luxury .

[@MustSeeTech]

I do agree with you. If you want a quality, you have to pay. But I still try to research the most affordable models, because my viewers request it

[@akaroamale475]

None of these tents have a mattress thicker than 3 inches, you may as well me 18 and sleeping direct on the ground. Get your act together and make a better camper with a thicker bedding.

[@gddena2812]
