any concerns/issues, staying in a rooftop tent (wildlife)... assume you put your food/cooking equipment into the cab of the truck each night?

Definitely had concerns before the trip, so we took bear spray with us as a last resort and peace of mind. Fortunately we didn’t have to use it in the entire 3 weeks trip. We did make sure we cleaned all our cooking equipment and placed any food and utensils inside the cab of the truck as you mentioned each night. We also noticed even people with trailers doing that, instead of keeping the food in the trailer where they slept. Also, most the sites in BC and Yukon have food storage lockers if you don’t feel comfortable putting it inside your vehicle. As for being in a rooftop tent, it felt very safe. We have windows on all 4 sides giving us a 360 clear view of the surrounding area which was nice whenever we had to leave the tent in the middle of the night to use the bathroom or walk our dog.
