Car tent unboxing and set up Napier Backroadz SUV Tent

[@bobbliss9607]

When we do a storyboard for our show, we usually share our individual notes, then mix them up into a program. I just found a relaxing way to write my portions, using our small SUV, and enjoy the solitude that it takes to think. You did an outstanding job here, presenting this add-on camping tent to this SUV. I'm going to show this video to my partner, and see if he will find it to be the perfect relaxer for script composing just like I will.

You can use magnet to close for the small opening

[@davidkeen9446]

no on aluminum

[@deeprollingriver52]

I just ordered this tent! How nice to be able to close the hatch with the tent up. That was a great concern of mine

[@michellestratford9753]

Thank you so much for doing this. I'm trying to decide on which to buy so this looks great😊. Thanks!

[@twocampinggurus5555]

Your welcome

[@ziaali5264]

Thank you for showing this video. I bought one, still in box, before Covid for my suburban and will use next summer ..hopefully

[@twocampinggurus5555]

Your welcome, we have used ours a few more times and it works out great. Happy camping.

[@justmona9647]

I'm glad you did an unboxing the SUV attachment tent! I wondered if they would be worth it and it looks as though they are. I take pool noodles cut them in half and split them down the center to put on my guidelines so I'm not always tripping over them. I'm a Klutz when it comes to paying attention as to where the lines have been placed😉.

[@twocampinggurus5555]

So far we really like it, great idea with the pool noodles. We set it up and took it down 5 nights in a row and was no issue at all. thanks for taking the time to comment.

@@twocampinggurus5555 i got one fir my honda element. I want to tell you this tent needs two people to set that thang up. I have a picture of mine. It give you a lot more room. I set it up twice. The first time it took me doing it all buy my 5'3". Self.in front of my house. The second time was at a camp ground. I guess ill have to take someone camping with me it took me just about let me say it real Loud 2 Hours in the heat in a camp ground. The problem was with the (2) 100 feet poles you have to get to stand alone. If I can master that it would only take me 1/2 hour to set it up. Anyhow anyway if I get it set up I'll have a good looking water proof tent because I scotch guarded it the first time I set it up. I'm glad i did because it did rain. I took it down the next day, because the forecast was for more rain I rolled it gently up throw it in the back of my Honda Element that was labor day weekend. I'll take it out sweep it on a sunny spring day and put it back in the sack it came out of. Did i tell you I really love camping.🚙

[@deeprollingriver52]

That noodle idea is great

[@frankheimerle]

her trying to get the flies out... 🤣🤣🤣 but thanks for the setup, it was helpful in my decision to buy! 👍👍

[@twocampinggurus5555]

Lol, yes it was funny with the flies. Thanks for commenting

[@julianalderson3938]

Looks good. Magnets can be used to seal around the suv aswell. Cheers

[@justjosie8963]

The high ceiling make it feel really spacious. Thanks for the demo! I as ondering if it could be unhooked from vehicle and zipped which it can, although they say you can't remove the over car section but that's ok with me, just want to have the tent zipped.

[@twocampinggurus5555]

Yes that’s true the 10th section that goes to the car will stay intact but you can zip it up so to seal out bugs and have a freestanding tent. I’m glad you like the video and thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@israelestonina5949]

Thank you for sharing your setup video

[@twocampinggurus5555]

My pleasure!

[@johncopetti1253]

Just wondering how long it takes to put up and pack away. Thank s for sharing and enjoy

[@twocampinggurus5555]

After doing it a few times only takes about 10 minutes or so either way put up or take down. Thanks for the question.

[@marshaiula7282]

I have this tent. Love the large windows. However it is not waterproof. I waterproofed it twice and the bottom seams still leak 😥

[@leilal8053]

Flying insect spray is a MUST....spray the interior b4 opening the tailgate....

[@rajottenathalie3602]

I bought one, so happy to try it

Love my Napier!!

[@reallifesuvlife9051]

I got mine today and could not do it by myself. With my sons help, we put it up four times. So, I will only use this when my kids want to come. My other tent I can setup myself and it’s a suv tent. I just don’t have it yet. I will use this when I solo car camp How easy was the rain fly to get on? This tent in super tall.

[@twocampinggurus5555]

Yes it would be difficult to set up by yourself I think it could be done but not easily. As far as the rain fly I did put it on one time by myself by throwing it up over the top and then going around, however is much easier with two people. Thanks for taking the time to comment and happy camping.

[@gnmrsmuir]

Which is the other one you are using please? I need an easy waterproof one I can do myself.

[@karlwaskiewicz]

@@twocampinggurus5555 I've put it up by myself but it was a pain in the butt. Definitely a lot easier with two people.

[@lindasue8719]

I'm wondering if you can tell us what tent you're using that you're able to manage alone, thanks!

[@lindasue8719]

@reallifesuvlife9051 I was wondering if you can share with us what SUV tent you are able to manage alone, thanks!

[@papaspage2001]

Thanks for sharing Thumbs up 👍

[@veronicadehart4981]

If I need to drive my car after attaching - is it easy to un-attach / reattach? Can I use the tent without it being attached to my vehicle?

[@twocampinggurus5555]

Yes it’s not too difficult to detach from the vehicle and yes it can be used as a standalone tent. Thanks for the question and taking the time to comment.

[@allisonbuckles4943]

I just purchased this tent to take to a music festival next month. I was thrilled to see this video to get a sneak peak of what I’ve already ordered. 😅 The size looks great and I’m very reassured I can close my hatch to lock my valuables inside when we’re at the festival grounds without altering the tent set-up. Do it seems like there will be plenty of room in the floor of the tent for a “full” size air mattress? Thanks again for the great video!

[@twocampinggurus5555]

Yes a full size mattress should fit. Thanks for commenting

[@derekbeecham6289]

Is it possible to use this tent without a hatch?

[@twocampinggurus5555]

yest you can. it works as a stand-alone tent as well. the opening area to the hatch just zips up.

[@bigmac3006]

Wondering if this could be attached to the side of my minivan? Great vid!

[@twocampinggurus5555]

I’m sure you can find a way to attach the straps over the top of the minivan so you can access the car through the side door. I’m not 100% sure but I bet it would work if the van does not have a back door. Otherwise if you do have a hatchback I don’t see any reason why it would not fit as quite a bit of play in the sleeves it goes around the vehicle. Hope this helps and thanks for the question and taking the time to comment.

Thank you very much

[@MrPiapple]

i’m wondering if you open tailgate all day, will car run out of power?

[@twocampinggurus5555]

My lights shut off automatically after a certain amount of time so in my case no, however if you have a vehicle that the lights don’t shut off by themselves you can either shut them off manually if that’s an option or I would not leave the door open all day.

[@michwenz8413]

Maybe some rectangular magnets would help that seal on the car. I think the material would protect the paint.

[@twocampinggurus5555]

Thats a good idea, Thanks for the comment.

[@maggiedoor6093]

I see the inside lights are on in the car. Does it drain the batteries with the hatch open all night?

[@twocampinggurus5555]

It would if the lights stayed on, however the light shut off automatically or we can turn them on and off manually. We had lanterns with us as well for lighting. Great question.

[@heathermelnick6925]

Any for one person to do this by themselves? I am so frustrated. Followed directions, one of the fiberglass pole sections snapped. So basically my $300 tent is useless.

[@twocampinggurus5555]

It can be done by yourself but it certainly is much easier with two people. Also I’m very sorry to hear that one of your polls broke. Not that it’s what you want to do but I’m sure you can get replacement parts so the tent is not completely useless.

[@rickycowan6969]

🤔 Maybe put some small, strong magnets where the gaps are...🤷‍♂️

[@Yukon85226]

Thanks.

[@shanesmaineshop]

You’re very welcome, we’ve used it several times since the unboxing and it worked out great. Thanks for commenting
