I Built A Roof Tent. Lightweight Hardshell with Carbon Fibre Floor

DIY ROOF TENT
I set a goal of building a Roof Tent myself. Learning new things such as how to use a sewing machine, what lightweight materials were suitable and even designing custom hinges.
I made 3 versions, trying to maximise space while keeping the tent weight low. It's was a huge challenge making this tent and endless hours of work, research and sourcing materials.
In the end I almost achieved the 35-40kg weight goal, with a 42kg dry weight (without the mattress and accessories). I know what changes to make to be 37kg but it's too expensive to make a 4th version at this time.
Size wise, it's big enough for me at 6 foot tall. It's low profile at 100mm and I can still store an inflatable mattress, pillow, down quilt and poles when closed. However, it does lack a lot of the luxuries and is not as good as a professionally made roof tent.
I'm happy and it looks awesome on top of the Jimny, almost like a roof rack. I'll release a video detailing more about this project.
DIY KITCHEN
A fun project was the slide out kitchen. I'm delighted with how this turned out. It's slimline design which in my opinion is essential with such limited space in a Jimny.
Measuring 80mm high and 1320mm long. It can hold weight loads up to 200kg. It's rock solid!
I chose this design instead of the tailgate drop down tables for 3 reasons.
1. It's more worktop space.
2. I don’t have to deal with the weird slope on the Jimny door.
3. I can still access my Molle pouches on the tailgate. (Even with a Molle compatible tailgate table I'm not keen on usability of accessing their contents with the table in use)
It includes a slimline sink and running water via the new Dometic battery operated faucet. On top is a drawer fridge with 21 litres of capacity. small but enough for me. I would have liked a better brand and slightly larger capacity fridge, like the Dometic drawer fridge, but they're very expensive. Hopefully this cheaper option will work well. Its efficiency is okay when combined with the Bluetti EB55 Powerstation.
I made the kitchen slide slimline instead of taller and leaving permanently affixed equipment like the sink and stove. The reason is I don't always want to take a sink and double stove. I prefer modular set ups where I can choose what I take based on the trip. Fractionally more set up time in exchange for extra storage space and flexibility.
In the video I've shown the simple set up for when you're on the go and just need a quick coffee or to heat up some soup. Then if you're spending longer at a fixed camping location you can cook a bigger meal using the double stove.
This set up uses the least amount of space and I can still sleep in the car during bad weather. An option I did not want to lose.
KUKSA GIVEAWAY
I promised a Kuksa giveaway on the channel and it will happen in June. I'm just adding the final touches. I've had so many attempts crack that end up on a fire. Thankfully this one has survived my amateur carving processes! I'll do my best to make sure it's lovely to look at and beautifully finished.
CHANNEL UPDATE
I plan to start releasing videos more regular. I've trips organised with other 4x4 owners but will make most of my videos solo. I also want to release DIY build and equipment related shorter videos. I'll put them in a separate playlist from the silent camping videos. I hope you find them useful and interesting.

Not a Jimmy owner but I love your videos! The Rtt and the kitchen are awesome. If I can I would suggest you to clean the paper coffee filter with hot water before you put the grinded coffee. The coffee will taste better for sure! Keep going! 👍🏻

Thanks mate 😅👍 it’s certainly been an experience all these months messing on with the tent. Not something I’d hurry to do again haha

Your new kitchen, and setup in general is a perfect example of why one doesn’t need a Sprinter van or other huge rig to get the courage of going car camping. :) Big vehicles just mean you’re limited when going off road/overlanding.

Great return to KZbin mate. I love this current set up you have going on, the custom roof tent looks bob on, the awning is just perfect for the Jimny and the kitchen set up is so ideal for a simple small car 👌🏼 I could tell you were using a camera this time round with the deeper bokeh shots. Great picture quality. Hopefully with a few more videos to come you’ll get the hang of it to be able to set it up quicker for each shot. Have you tried to use manual focus yet for framing still shots? This video has made me miss the Jimny camping style, will have to see what I can do with my new car and combine the two together one day to reunite 😊😎

[@GeordieJimny]

brother! You watched it 🤩 We’ll have to do a camp again sometime soon mate. Yeah I did it all in full manual. It’s still difficult for me but I’m slowly learning. Feel like most of it is under or over exposed and if I get exposure right the focus ends up being wrong. it’s all fun and games. Won’t go back to iPhone I’ll persist! I think a different lens would help save me a lot of time. I move the camera A LOT and having only a 50mm prime lens or 24mm (I think) gets tiresome quickly. I’m hoping I can only get better. Keep watching Morinone’s KZbin channel and drooling over it 😂. Maybe one day but not anytime soon. Good to be back making stuff though and have many plans for fun short trips that might be nice to watch. Time will tell 🍻

[@GeordieJimny]

Hi Neil, they’re not good enough to sell. I had plans to do a build guide but that is really hard now without dismantling everything. For the amount of views it would get it’ll just add way more time to something that already was commercially insane to do. The Carbon fibre floor panel was £900 never mind all the rest 😅 and I’ve had to silicone seal it. As far as I can determine the Alu-cab lt-50 is the best option for a jimny lighter weight wedge tent.

[@LRDefender1968]

Hi Geordie, The way you mount your little burner is such a great idea, I did manage to find the exact burner on the web, does it make a good connection with the canister, i thought the thread was slightly recessed on the canister? Kind regards Tony

[@GeordieJimny]

Hi Tony the stainless steel top is 1.2mm and it makes a good connection as far as I’ve found. The rubber washer on the bottom helps cinch it down. Not done any gas detection on it mind 😂

Hi mate, build guides aren’t really my thing on the channel. I do have a blog that shows the first version slider I made with aluminium extrusion. The new one is just an iteration of that. Not sure it’s the most cost efficient way of making these but it’s the easiest to avoid welding and sheet metal bending. It’s basically aluminium extrusion 20/80 and heavy duty sliders bolted on. Then aluminium angle for the sides with stainless steel sheets bolted on top. The measurement etc can be whatever you want to fit your own needs. geordiejimny.com/category/projects/fridge-slide

[@ilw10]

Really nice gadgets and DIY! Regarding the stove, given that there is the metal board between the gas canister and the burner, how do you ensure there is no gas leakage? Usually there is a washer in the burner to seal it but in this setup it us not the case. Any gas leakage is dangerous.

[@GeordieJimny]

Hi cheers it’s been good fun making it all. The rubber washer is still sandwiched between the canister and the stainless steel worktop. It’s only 1.2mm thick and cinches down tight.

[@ilw10]

@GeordieJimny I see. However, just be careful of gas leakage through the thread area of the gas burner which attaches to the canister. Threads do not seal perfectly and the gasket usually seals that area too when burner is connected directly to the canister. On another note, great videos. I dream of having a Jimny one day to be able to mod and camp out over here too.

What weight and closed dimensions of tent

[@GeordieJimny]

42kg - 2004mm x 1346mm x 100mm

[@jasonmananquil8040]

did you made that RTT yourself? cheers

[@GeordieJimny]

Hi Jason, yeah. Based on other people’s aluminium extrusion diy tent builds, except I focused on lowering weight and height when packed away.

[@jasonmananquil8040]

@@GeordieJimny mate i like your style. im in the process of studying that extrusion thing. cheers mate

[@GeordieJimny]

@jasonmananquil8040 cheers mate. It’s nice stuff to work with. Check out headway drives playlist for his build. I took most of my initial ideas from that kzbin.info/aero/PLH8IITpMKwMSfUvj_yEwOs7bgS4T1odR-

[@itsnotcris]

Did inspired overland rip this off?

[@GeordieJimny]

I think there’s is way better 😅👍 I got a lot of inspiration from Headway Drive channel, who got his from another channel. All just iterations with a few little improvements along the way. When I have the time and budget I’ve got a lot of improvements to make for a version 4 of my own attempt. Financially I’d be better off buying one though, making one is very inefficient cost wise.

[@itsnotcris]

@@GeordieJimny well atleast you're learning in the process, and you can always improve it.

[@zumezoom9593]

What year is that jimny? 2019? I gotta wait till it's 2035 before I can get one

[@GeordieJimny]

Bought it in 2019 yeah :) They’re often available on the used market in the UK or the new LCV version. Not sure the wait times though

What pants are you wearing please?

Hi they’re GP Trousers from revolutionrace.com

[@soladria8522]

Brother, can you fit in that tent? you're bigger than the car

[@GeordieJimny]

Yeah. Would have been better 100mm longer but it’s fine

[@JesterR-ps4uj]

jimnys has only 30kg roof weight capacity (roof rack included)

[@GeordieJimny]

It’s quoted 40kg by some Suzuki garages. Ultimately every jimny that uses the roof in a typical way for tents, awnings or even just the full rack (with stuff carried on it), exceeds the manufacturer’s roof limit. It’s not uncommon to see people carrying upwards of 90kg roof load. It’s all at the owners risk. Personally after 3 years of ownership I find anything under 60kg with the upgraded suspension, drives perfectly well. I would obviously not do crazy off road tracks with any roof load at all. I don’t do it doesn’t matter. 👍

[@Dogteddy1]

Thats a lot of crap for a cup of coffee. I usually turn off , when the grinders come out. lol.

[@GeordieJimny]

One man’s crap is another man’s delicious coffee 😅👌

[@alejandravillalobos3549]

It seems unnecessary to use your lamps when it is daytime, as well as using wood to keep the fire burning all the time. I think that part of going out into nature, in addition to apprehending it, is to encourage saving resources and caring for them.

[@GeordieJimny]

The camera shows everything a lot lighter than it is to me while I’m there. It’s a commercial campsite that sells the firewood to fund their tree planting scheme. Thanks for watching 👍

I was unnecessary sarcastic in my response. Thanks for being the bigger person and no hard feelings I hope. Have a good weekend 🍻
