Just love your videos Always full of information and intelligence The best review of a James Baroud i have ever seen and you covered all the things people wouldn't think of, unless they owned one.

[@OverlandWay]

Thanks High! We are glad you enjoyed it. Have a great day!

[@amitkrupal1234]

This is the 1st video I saw of your channel, its awesome channel. I realized within first minute that this review is going to nice and up to the point. Also both of you have positive feeling.

[@b00daddy1]

You guys have probably the most comprehensive review on the Baroud Space, I appreciate it. After a couple years researching it, finally ordered one! Can't wait to see where it takes us.

[@JELLYMOTONZ]

i dont need a roof top tent on my D5, but yet here i am watching your whole video and thinking i need one of those in my life.. cheers for yet another cool vid

[@OverlandWay]

Hauaha thanks, mate! But we are honest saying if you don't need it, don't buy it hehe

[@OneManTrail]

A couple months ago I bought a James Baroud Evasion and my feelings are similar to yours. I’m ok with the ladder, it works fine for me but I can see designing a more elegant solution in the future. I have to say the ease of setup and tear down, along with keeping my bedding inside, the quietness in the wind, and the quality of materials are all my favorite parts.

[@jogrimmond6017]

Just bought a James Baroud on top of a patriot camper. Used it in the snow once and already love it! Just want an awning and walls now to top it off for those longer stays. Love the tent. 😄

[@OverlandWay]

Apparently they are making a new model which tent has a tunnel through the awning!!!

[@LaughingblueSu]

Informative video. I love the love and respect ❤️ the two of you show each other when you are talking. ❤️

[@WALDORUITERMAN1977]

Thanks for the very extensive video with good practical tips and tops!

[@georgerosado5194]

So happy for you both..enjoy one another ✌and take care

[@ClimeLife]

BEST VIDEO I'VE SEEN YET ABOUT THIS. Extremely informative thank you so much!!

[@OverlandWay]

Thanks guys.. we are glad you enjoyed it.

[@mouseman3194]

Great review

[@johndiaz7240]

Excellent review, we saw them at Overland Expo in Arizona last year, we have a Autohome for about 4 years .We always are looking at different options ,enjoy your video's.

[@OverlandWay]

Thanks John! Have a great day!

[@BeowulfHagen]

John, which Autohome do you have?

[@johnwilkinson6542]

We bought evasion model of James Broud, have it on top of my 89 4x4 yota works awesome & doesn't feel top heavy at all , moves a little in strong side winds not bad, would buy it again, if I had it to do again.

[@stevechuy1969]

It's true that all redheads are beautiful. Good job guys

[@jimmyjimmy951]

So I am not going to ask any questions like others on the post as you have answered they in the video. I paid attention to your review. 😬. I would like to say great review and continue to travel safe in the future. 👍🇦🇺

[@SimonKinsella]

I have the same tent, and I pretty much agree with everything here. It's an excellent product, very well made, and a very nice place to be in its own right. It somehow combines a genuine comfort (matress, duvet, pillows etc)but without losing that nice feeling you get from being "outside", in a tent - something that could be lost with a motorhome or caravan, for example. My only caution would be... well it's not for everyone. You must be comfortable going up and down a ladder, and with being over 2m off the ground. Plus, although setting up is dead easy, packing up is a little more tricky as you are not only having to work against the gas struts that are always trying to open up, but generally having to do so at full stretch. I can do it on my own, but I have a good reach and can exert some effort - I can see it being almost impossible for somone of smaller and lighter stature :) It's definitely much easier with two! But with that caveat noted, it really is superb!

[@OverlandWay]

That's totally tru! Thanks for sharing your views, Simon!

[@Tyeriver1]

What is this model?

[@RoMiTouring]

Great review guys.. Well done!

[@crustycrowley]

I purchased a James Baroud off of the back of this review and other similar reviews on youtube. However, on the model we purchased the Evasion Evolution the mosquito mesh does not prevent mosquitoes getting in. We had to install a mosquito net inside the tent.

[@OverlandWay]

Have you tried contacting James Baroud? I found them to be super helpful!

[@antonioromero9605]

Great¡¡, good job, excellent video, congratulations.

[@pctlc]

Great review thanks!!

[@thekitowl]

As a Delica owner , I just had to subscribe.👍

[@OverlandWay]

Thanks, mate!

[@thekitowl]

Overland Way I’ve had my Delica for 13 years & I’ve never felt so positive about a vehicle in my life. It tows bigger vehicles out of muddy fields, I take it camping & I can use it like a van if needed. You guys are taking the Delica to the next level & I salute you. Keep rocking 👍.

[@nielsbouwhuis9881]

Great video. Thanks. Can you share which solar panels you put on the roof of the tent and how it is connected?

[@HammerRocks]

Pity you aren't back in Australia when you decided to get a pop-up tent. Then you could taken a look at the Adventure Kings 'Kwiky' Pop Up Roof Top Tent from 4WD Supacentre. It's currently selling for about AU$970. A mate has had his for about 2yrs and its still going strong.

[@nancydean4245]

Can't wait to buy ours!

[@fabry8717]

Hi guys ! wow! how did you attach the solar panels above the James Baroud tent ?? Hello and thanks!!! have a good year

[@jailbreakoverlander]

really nice setup I have a roofnest sparrow for sale now, and just put a maggiolina grand tour up top. May get a baroud tho.

[@strider00111]

why?

[@Tyeriver1]

Why did you get rid of the sparrow? I am looking at the sparrow now?

[@StatementPlus]

What made you guys choose the angled clamshell hard tent over the rectangular hard tops that go up fully on all four sides? Cheers!

[@mattbrooking2146]

What a great review! Do you still have it!

[@andreaschloss3905]

Bem legal o projeto de vcs... procurei bastante pq tenho uma L200 outdoor e está difícil de ver idéias e projetos outlander para este carro.

[@pablogarcia-chevesich9792]

Good review. How dark is it when windows are closed?

[@amitkrupal1234]

Liked and subscribed

[@guillermoortiz1492]

Do you not miss the SkyView of the stars with a regular roof top soft tent?

[@rotasdaterra9433]

Valeu pela dica.....boa viagem.....

[@100toeface]

I'm confused about the windows. Is there both a clear window, to keep heat in AND a screen window for when you want additional ventilation? Or are the windows only screen windows, and so if you wanted to see the outside view and not be cold, you would be out of luck?

[@stevenmcfarlane8831]

Guys, another good video. I don’t have a camper. But my small work van I plan to use for weekend trips. I can’t decide if I should sleep inside the van and keep my bike on the roof or set up a tent ( means set up time and sleeping on the ground ) or keep my bike safe inside van and go for the roof tent. Thoughts ? Also the roof tent you can switch to different vehicles, that’s a plus. BTW I am in Scotland so weather is usually wet. Just different temperatures of wet ! Best wishes

[@waskannichfuersietun]

cool and thank you verry much for this video, youre welcome in germany :-)

[@glendas.mckinney926]

Would there be space to keep my CPAP inside too? It's about the size of a small shoe box and needs to be level due to the humidifier reservoir.

[@luisLP5752]

It's been too long since this video has been posted. Does it block out the light completely so I can sleep longer??

[@wadeanunson2385]

Nicely done!

[@AventureirosdeAmor]

Like 104: Your explanations were simply fantastic... So, now we have an idea about how to live in a small car.... show... thank you, guys.... Um forte abraço... Paz, amor e bem! *Tadeu e Marilene - o casal de Itu SP*

[@OverlandWay]

Obrigado, Aventureiros! Um enorme abraço de nós 3!

[@tysonschroeter9431]

Hi thanks for posting this video I bought this same tent... my Vent fan has never gone on while I’ve used the tent and I can’t see any kind of switch for on/off. Is there a switch on your fan? I’m wondering what I’m missing!

[@JohnLaFosse]

I don't have a real criticism for the upgrade but it is really getting down to cost. After spending the amount of time you've spent on the road, your not novices. And I do respect your advice. My roof top tent is an entry level Tepui baja series aluminized tent. I used it for a vacation and currently am saving money sleeping at truck stops until I either find a temporary sublet or house sit for the winter in Maine. I did notice that Tepui is designing more hard shell tents. My VW Golf if probably one of the few I've seen images of on the internet with a roof top tent.The tent is $1,200 or so. Your spending close to $4000... it is liken to buying an RV. The only real inconvenience I have is drying out the tent so mold doesn't accumulate. The Baroud has that covered. I also noticed a group of Jeep owners here in Maine go "overlanding" with their Smitty built tents on logging roads and they love it. But most of us are weekend warriors compared to you two. Best of luck. And safe travels.

[@OverlandWay]

Thanks for sharing your point of view, John! The James Baroud are definitely expensive and not for everyone... as I say on the video, I personally think RTTs are a luxury in a way. But we love our James Baroud! Hehehe

[@berniegequi5962]

Dommage j aurai aimé un développement sur les 2 panneaux solaires posés sur le toit…

[@evandrobulling3214]

Love the review.

[@OverlandWay]

Thanks! Glad you like it!

[@thomasmeyer8336]

Could you please tell me how tall you are .is it enlugh length in the tent ? And could you explain about komdensation of water inside ?

[@MrYaksok]

great review. Why did you choose this model vs the hard shells that open uniformly? (Is yours the discovery?)

[@ingredientsforhealth]

Thank you! How is the tent in high wind? Is it very noisy?

[@sosteve9113]

Looks nice

[@jonasozana9649]

Ahoj! I'm glad you're satisfied with your rooftop tent. This was a very good review I have to say. Are you still in Mexico? What about Costa Rica's right-hand drive problem? And how is Taco doing btw? I really enjoy your videos, keep going guys! Hodně štěstí. :-)

[@OverlandWay]

Hi mate, we are still in Mexico. Leaving tomorrow. Taco is getting better! Thanks for asking! We are glad you enjoyed the video! All the best!

[@bornfreefreedom4900]

Hi hello. May I ask how much is this rooftop Tent. I am just building a overlander and I may need a rooftop tent. Best wishes to all and safe travels too. 😊😊🙏🌍🚐☀️🌟

[@OverlandWay]

Hi Darren, they go for between 3500 and 4000 bucks I believe. You might wanna give the guys from Nomad Ventures a call. That's where we got ours from. Cheers!

[@timrand7459]

Hey guys, how did you find the higher centre of gravity off road. My hard shell ways 80kg and that worries me as I also have a lift and bigger tyres.

[@OverlandWay]

It definitely makes things a bit for sketchy but we take it easy and it's ok. I would try anything that risked rolling it though!

[@antonionunes9967]

Tenda teto

[@josephvital]

Nice set up. I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now. Did you also have nomas adventures do the roof rack for the tent?

[@OverlandWay]

Hi Joseph, no. We already has a roof top tent before the James Baroud, so we used the same racks we already had. The James Baroud just slided on. Cheers

[@zacktorro9732]

Are you able to strap your surfboard to the tent?

[@radioelka6209]

What is the sleeping area size?

[@physicalstarfighter2131]

How did you attach your solar panels to it? Thanks Mike

[@OverlandWay]

We drilled through and sealed it all. It turned out great.

[@sherifelsakkaf1458]

Thank you very much... Q: what are those two bolts ends sticking out at the inside lower side of the tent please.

[@stevehawkins777]

Most likely where they attached the solar panels on the roof.

I am torn between James Baroud and Maggiolina (Autohome). Maggiolina with scissors mechanism seems even more stable than this

[@governorgrazi317]

Same. Hard choice.

@@governorgrazi317 went with Autohome Maggiolina Extreme in the end. (Bought in Globetrotter Munich, excellent service & staff)

[@neilpatrickchoad4481]

Is it still hot with the solar power vent?

[@OverlandWay]

The tent is pretty well ventilated with all those windows and the vent on top... but if there is no breeze and it's hot... then it does get hot... like anywhere else I guess hehehe

[@whiskypointresort]

How much did you guys pay the tend ?

[@jr2821]

How much was the space tent cost?

[@afiqlalala3934]

awesomeee

[@shakeyracing47]

You thought of running power up from the van?

[@OverlandWay]

I am always talking about doing it but never found a neat solution. I wanted to have 12V and USBs up there but I hate visible cables... So haven't had the time to do it yet heheh But it's definitely on my list!

[@MiegmaishMenas]

So wait, the xxl version is only longer and not wider? So fitting 2 adults and 2 small children does not seem realistic.

[@Job_alves]

Muito bom...!!!

[@OverlandWay]

Valeu!

[@alessiozenelaku2093]

Wheri is thai place????

[@Alex_Cassidy]

I was wondering where did you get it and how much?

[@OverlandWay]

Hey mate, we got it from Nomad Ventures, in Escondido CA. They go for around 3900 bucks depending on the model and colour. Cheers

[@Tyeriver1]

Which model is your tent?

[@scottevaughn]

Do you answer questions?

[@101Lileagle]

Probably not cuz its sponsored

[@JohnLaFosse]

you need a kodiak inergy.

[@Orion227]

Did you have to pay for it… it’s like $5,000 plus 🥴
