Convert your SUV into a base camp with 2 rooms : NAPIER Sportz 84000 SUV tent

[@ronjones503]

By far the best review on this tent. Even better than Napiers own review! Only thing that was not clear is if you can set the tent up and not use the patio room if you just want to set up for a quick overnight stay.

[@mixflip]

At 7:10 I believe I show the tent setup with just the main room up. You can unzip off the patio.

[@sergevoyage]

Yes you can use ONLY the tent as the patio Room is zipped to the main Room

[@k-mac5511]

Great review! A key feature not mentioned but important to note is that you could detach it from your vehicle and close up that side. For the camping I’ll do I like that option so if I want to drive to a trailhead I can without complete disassembly. Granted it’d be a doable challenge to back in and reconnect, but having that option is a huge benefit. Needless to say I’m saving to purchase this car tent. I can hardly wait. It’ll be a game changer.

5 years later (it’s 2020 now- I pray you & your family are well... I guess your boys aren’t so “little” after all this time!) and this vid was very, VERY helpful. You are pleasant and thorough! Thanks so much! 💐💐💐

[@sueann7071]

Awesome video! PLUS! You just saved me hundreds of dollars by showing that I don't have to buy roof racks to attach this tent to! Thanks for showing that it can also be attached under the hood! Thank you, thank you!

[@alisondawson3421]

This tent is fantastic -- if you travel in a van or suv, when it rains you are limited and can't get out of the vehicle. This was even in the rain, you can walk around from 'room to room' and to the front area where you can sit and watch the rain etc. I love it, it's made me think about suv/ten instead of camper. Makes a huge difference !

[@johnbouwens2024]

Im gonna buy this tent now ... Just cuz of your great review... I saw two gals try to set up this very tent ... Well it didnt work out so good for them ... I can see now they just had no clue .... Probably didnt read them instructions ... Like guys do lol lol ...

[@p.e.p.t.6094]

Great demo! I have been considering this tent and you have THE BEST showcase of this product!

[@danielheller6430]

Have been using this tent for three years. Can not stress enough to use a tarp. Can get them anywhere. Get one large enough to go under the entire tent. It increases the life of the tent floor plus now the porch area has a floor. Mark the places the stakes go through the tarp. If possible put metal rings there. Or can use a couple layers of tape on both sides. Also suggest carrying some rugs to put on the floor. I attach it to the back of my dodge caravan. Another very usable camping device is a folding table. Mine is 4' X 2'. Don't know how I got along with out it?

[@EvieVermont]

Watched this last year and now I am convinced that this tent is for me! Thanks ! Awesome review

[@saginawdan]

I watched quite a few videos on this tent. Your review was the best, by far. You should be proud. Thanks!

I am about to get this tent in 2weeks. Cant be more excited. Ready to explore the australian outdoors

[@sergevoyage]

I have this tent fot 4 years now, good vidéo exact and realistic. Yes you can use ONLY the tent as the patio Room is zipped to the main Room. It does resist strong wind if you use long stake/nails to fix It.

[@k-mac5511]

Thank you for time-tested feedback on the tent use. Helps me determine to increase this tent fund.

This video is well done and confirmed that this was to be my next tent (and at my age, probably my last! ). I ordered it from Napier (on sale): it arrived in less than a week. It set up easily; directions are clear and simple. So many options for using the space depending on your needs! Can't wait for the VT state parks to open!

Could you use it without the car attached?

@@robmock2296 Yes; the "sleeve" that fits onto the vehicle can unzip completely from the tent, leaving a normal window like the other sides of the tent. You can just take that sleeve off and leave it at home, leave it packed up, -- leave it off.

[@nohalo4me555]

EXCELLENT review and superb video production! Very professional. Excellent sound quality. I like the closing shot with the sun in the background and perfect exposure on your face. You should give a tutorial on wannabe video producers!

[@mixflip]

thanks for the kind words. I remember a photographer tell once that the best time to get your footage is often at sunrise or sunset. I filmed this a few hours before the sun set. I got lucky with the sun creeping over the top of the mountain lol. as for audio I just used the on board stereo mics on the Canon 70D. I just stood close with a 10mm wide angle lens and spoke up. lav mic is the way all you tubers should do reviews though. maybe I will make a how to make youtube videos. that would be fun and helpful.

[@SPLINTBLIGHT]

mixflip You totally should do a training vid, if you haven't already. I've seen many that had great content, but the audio was inaudible, even through a headset. Then there was the guy with no image stabilization and too much caffeine...I nearly hurled trying to get the good info he offered because the image was jumping all over the place. Do it!

[@TheValiantZero]

Great review! I'm glad you were thorough. If you're looking to improve your videos, what would really add a great boost is a 30-second or so clip at the end with you just relaxing in the tent. It would serve as a simulation of actual tent usage, give a sense of proportion, and add much better perspective in terms of real world usage!

[@daveconnolly417]

Yes the tent can be set up without connecting it to your car, and it says that the screen room can be removed or not set up if desired. Heard that that tunnel cover is not waterproof,but that what tarps and bungee cords were made for. Have one on order and can't wait to try it next spring, got the footprint for the screen room but may also use a footprint for the tent to help keep it dry undreneath.

[@bryanmay4118]

Just ordered this tent based on your review. Thanks for the great info!

[@Radnally]

Excellent review. Thanks. I have a truck with shell. We have a 6" mattress in the truck bed for sleeping and I was looking for something that would provide shade and keep out mosquitos. Thus is perfect. Sounds like it's really tough and well made too.

[@mixflip]

Thanks for watching.

[@blave549]

Excellent review! Thanks. I am seriously considering one for my "new glamping adventure", and this helps a lot. I would be getting the "screen room" floor accessory that Napier offers.

[@NCtrailX]

Nice looking tent. Love your channel - all my favorite things! Be sure you let the exhaust cool off before you attach it to the car. Had a friend that melted a pretty big hole in a similar tent cause the exhaust was still hot when he set up camp. Have fun camping with the family!

[@mixflip]

Thanks for watching. Good tip on the exhaust. That material near the exhaust was very robust but Im sure if its hot enough you could still melt it.

[@debbiemiley4982]

I had/have a tent with a screened in porch area for camping with my family. It was so beneficial with kids. It was a place for shade and a bug-free zone. Caution should be used when eating in it, as with eating in the tent... don't want food smells in your tent to attract animals, but if we were camping in a bear-free area we would set up one of those little folding pic-nic tables in the screened in area. Kids ate in there and there were many late night card games with a battery operated lantern. The fact that this one attaches to your SUV could be a great feature. My kids are grown now and camping on their own with friends, so I don't need this, but what a great option for families. The price may seem high, but it's less than long a weekend at a hotel and you're going to use it for years to come. Thanks for your review.

[@mixflip]

all great points. I agree I never feel comfortable eating/snacking in tents due to animals smelling us but we do it when not in bear country lol. My kids are small so we should get lots of use out of this tent. We recently used it in Northern Arizona at the overland expo and loved it. I think we will upgrade to a popup trailer tent eventually as the kids get bigger and we get older.

[@SPLINTBLIGHT]

Debbie Miley This would be fabo if u plan to stay in one campground for several days or longer. A very nice change of pace for anyone sleeping in their car, if you could afford one. Being able to stretch out, air out all ur crap, even hang laundry in the porch...heaven. Looks like you can shut your hatch to lock gear in your car, leaving the tent attached (just unclip in a couple places). I believe you can also detach the car huggy bit...forgot the term, to go somewhere and leave the tent pitched. Then just back your car up and reattach. Only problem I can see is it takes up a lot of space, but if you have a car top carrier, good option.

[@TheNicB]

Thanx for such an informative video -- you helped me decide to buy this -- convinced me that I could put it up on my own. And, I did! In insane wind! With only a tiny bit of help from my young boy. I didn't use the rainfly. Weather was gorgeous. I did figure out I didn't have the 2 support bars on the screen room correct, but it worked -- and, a few squirrels got through the bottom that attaches to the car. Long story short: I'm on crutches now. LOL ... QUESTION: why no guylines? Any idea? I was sooooooo glad I had rope, and made my own. The wind was so bad, we could hear it coming!

[@mixflip]
