Rooftop Tent One Year Update | Subaru Crosstrek Camping Setup

After having my rooftop tent for just over a year, I felt like it was a good time to make a quick update video with some pro's and con's I've experienced so far.
Thanks for watching!
Have a great day!

Great vid thanks so much keep the crosstrek vids coming

[@Morgan.Bentley]

Thank you, and I appreciate you watching! & you got it🤙🏼

[@PrecisionAcc]

you can put an elastic or bungie around your tent when putting it away. This way all the sides retract inwards as you put it down

[@Morgan.Bentley]

I didn’t even think of that, thanks for that tip!

I have the top oak galaxy 1.0 and it looks super similar to mine. I have it on my forester and i love it! Great Video!

[@Morgan.Bentley]

@@dominiquemaldonado1906 Dang, that does look almost just alike! I bet it looks really nice on your forester. & thank you, I appreciate it!

Biggest question I would ever have pertains to weather worthiness. Is it 100% water proof in heavy rain? Also as to the make and model of the tent?

[@Morgan.Bentley]

It seems to be completely waterproof when shut. I haven’t seen any signs of water damage, so far at least. (I did forget to let it dry out one night after camping in some rain, and it did get some mold on it, but I got it cleaned off.) As far as the make and model, there isn’t any specific branding on this one. It’s similar to the roofnest falcon 3 xl (closest thing I’ve found to it), but my dad had ordered a few of these from someone and I just got one from him. Lol He had reached out to a manufacturer directly somehow.

Sorry if I missed it, can you drop the name brand for this RTT?

[@Morgan.Bentley]

You didn’t, I totally forgot to touch on that. There isn’t any specific branding on this one. It’s similar to the roofnest falcon 3 xl (closest thing I’ve found to it), but my dad had ordered a few of these from someone and I got one from him. He had reached out to a manufacturer directly. You can find similar ones on Amazon, but I’ve honestly never been able to find this specific one.

This is why im struggling with purchasing a RTT for my gladiator. What you are saying is you paid $100 a night so stay in a tent on your car.

[@Morgan.Bentley]

Are you’re talking about the overall price vs how many times I’ve stayed in it? I’ve only had it one single year, and camped probably 20-25 times overnight in it, and popped it up to relax for a nice evening and nap Idek how many other times. I don’t look at it as far as how much it costs me per night because what about several years down the road and a couple hundred stays later? At that point it’ll technically be $’s spent for camping. I guess it really just depends on how much you’ll be camping because even if you buy a $500 tent, but only camp 5 nights a year, at that point you’re paying $100 a night to camp in a regular tent too for that first year. So I guess it’s really just however you want to look at it. Ps, I paid around $1.5k for this tent, so with my overnight stays + naps/ evenings relaxed in it I’d say I’ve probably used it around 50 times, on the low end. So that is around $30 per use, after just one year. Again, I don’t look at it like that because after another year that number should realistically half, as long as I use it as much as I did again. I don’t like spending money, but personally have been more than happy with this purchase so far, and would 100% buy one again.
