FIRST IMPRESSIONS • Overlanding in a 4Runner with a Rooftop Tent

We are new to overlanding America and camping in a Toyota 4Runner with a rooftop tent. NaturNest sent us their new Sirius 3 hard shell roof top tent to review. This is our brutally honest experience and reaction to car camping as a digital nomad couple.

Ha! Loved the video, but those reality clips were not only relatable-of late for us, but hilarious as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@outliersoverland]

Thanks Cindy. Glad you liked it.

[@jelmeierl]

My family has been going to that hot spring for years. Glad to see it’s still looking great.❤

[@marciaharmon1513]

Loved it!

[@InTheDirtAgain]

I've been over 6ft tall since the 8th grade. Now that I've got a few years on me, I've also got a few extra pounds to go with it. Kudos to both of you for trying out one of those RTTs. Maybe if my wife and I were back in grade school, no way is it happening today. I firmly believe that they're only meant for people 5'8 and under. I'll keep my 36ft travel trailer and 4dr truck any day. Don't care what the MPGs are when I can be comfortable AND have access to everything I need.

[@outliersoverland]

We couldn’t agree more. The RTT will be for dedicated adventures when we get a trailer.

[@glennkennedy441]

I like that tent, and enjoyed the video , keep em coming !

[@outliersoverland]

As rooftop tents go, it has a lot of great features in one tent. Wanting more padding seems to be a common thing as well.

[@Naturnestrooftent]

Thank you for sharing~

[@maxineoliver7404]

Keep on traveling-love it! And Happy Fourth!🤗🤗🎉🎉🐶

[@DuckDiaries]

So good to hear your voices coming through my TV speakers again. Bless…

[@outliersoverland]

It’s good to be on your tv again.

[@flubberlane8437]

This is a nice video. I like the scenery.

[@outliersoverland]

Thanks. The scenery was amazing.

[@johnnylightning1491]

It looks like it was a successful trip, at least you made it to your destination with no breakdowns. I'm not sold on the rooftop tent but if it works for you great. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@ryanmundt9628]

Awesome update guys! The tent looks great!! 900mi in a day, dang!!

[@outliersoverland]

Thanks RJ. 85mph cruising speeds helped. Denny cruises at 62mph.

[@theroadlesstravelled1]

Well, at last wide open spaces and roads to travel. Honestly, I had missed that. As far as the descending from the "penthouse", you just found out why, I prefer sleeping inside the car and carry all the not so often used items on the roof case. Wish you a very pleasant rod trip, AND I have some extremely nice suggestions when you come back at this side of the World.

[@travellersnestoverland]

O Ben, you are overlanders..just like us. Cheers Rolanda ❤️

[@outliersoverland]

I just like taking jabs at the trendy American consumerism driven definition of overlanding.

[@grabowskycountry]

🤣🤣🤣Keeping it real🤣🥰

[@outliersoverland]

The only way we know.

[@loonhaunt]

Seeing places with no one else around like that gives hope for the future of travel. Like Tristan or adventure van man. Tristan does a SUV also but travels much lighter. You have the right ideas how to fix it though.

[@outliersoverland]

I love being in the middle of nowhere.

[@Tony-hf9mv]

109 at Hell's Revenge according to my ranger Raptor

[@outliersoverland]

That’s toasty. I think we’ll try to spend September and October in that region.

[@smurfman6377]

.Was the tent to hot to be comfortable? Enjoy the journey.

[@outliersoverland]

It was actually rather chilly in the early morning hours but when it was hot the 4 windows were great for ventilation.

[@willpatrick8706]

You guys still doing ok

[@barrypierce9100]

Juice bottle with lid....lol😅

[@outliersoverland]

I prefer Gatorade bottles, no sharp edges.

[@anthonymissirlis3710]

there is a ton of after market stuff for 4runners , if you want to spend money it won't be hard to LOL. could always just buy a travel trailer and tow that around . if y'all really not that interested in spending money on the 4runner just do seat delete ( leave 1 seat second row for the pup and remove the rest which will give a lot of more room believe it or not

[@outliersoverland]

We are leaning towards a travel trailer still and the tent can be for off road adventures.

[@loonhaunt]

Very watchable. Nice blend of scenery too. Which apparently some dolts don't like. You're competing with boring bland old Russell now who just started his annual 4 month road trip. But he travels and does scenery with 0 drama. Just fast forward through the 10,000th small town museum.

[@outliersoverland]

Thank you. We are looking forward to seeing more of our country.

[@anthonyg9787]

Ben is more like Q. Lol 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@outliersoverland]

You might be on to something.

[@subiesojourner777]

Note to self: Take a spray bottle with window cleaner and a roll of paper towels to clean the bug guts off windshield, and camera lens.

[@outliersoverland]

I ended up rehydrating old water based hand wipes to clean the bug gunk from the camera.

[@subiesojourner777]

@@outliersoverland Good to know, thanks!

[@willpatrick8706]

Where are you guys

[@outliersoverland]

After 5 weeks of working in Oregon we have driven back to Kansas to wrap up the rental house and hopefully buy a travel trailer, which will allow us to be full time nomadic in the States. Thanks for asking.

[@robertb2468]

Doing the diapering act again I see. You should either have a functioning you tube channel or don't have one at all. How can you expect the subs, new and old to even bother anymore?

[@outliersoverland]

You’re right. We really should give all our focus to KZbin instead of working on our businesses that we will secure our family’s future.
