THULE TEPUI FOOTHILL ROOF TOP TENT | 1/2 THE SIZE, SLEEPS TWO?

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

✅⛔ Hi all, I am very sorry to let you know that the promised full review is not possible until after the summer. Thule just send me an email that the tent they where to send me is broken and they don't want to send it and wait for a new one. If you watch this 👆video that I made then you will see that I already know that is was broken and I was surprised that they wanted to send this tent back to me. Since I have some critics on this tent in this video I would advice you to wait with buying one until I did the proper full video. Or if you are planning to buy a Roof Top Tent for the coming summer... see my other full reviews: kzbin.info/aero/PL9c3ns5GtFge09jxI3DckI85Mx6ffE4aE Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

I like how you explain things and you have a friendly voice. Thanks for doing this. Waiting for the follow-up review

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

So you Got Hooked 😉. Thank you for the kid words. The follow up... may take a while. Thule is very busy with sending this one tent all over the globe so maybe I need to wait for a production one. And I think that is better anyway. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

Great video, and as others have commented, your style of vocal delivery and explanation is great, thank you.

Subbed for part 2 I really like the idea of spare roof rack space and relatively low profile size and it doesn’t get super cold where I live so it could be the one for me 🙏 either that or they bring out a second model fixing up issues like the zips ect Anyway great video I’m keen to here the full review if they end up sending it back to you ✌️

Hoi Gijs, innovative review during Covid lockdown. Great job! I like the concept of lengthwise folding, but it needs 10cm more length, height and width to fit two grown-ups comfortably. With just one entrance on one side and limited head space makes moving around in the small space even less comfortable. To me this is a basic 1-person overnighter for short trips only. On the positive side, the fabric looks more robust than most rooftop tents. Also the wrapped roof pipes reduces condensation in colder weather. Any possibility to fit an awning over the entrance? I think it needs bit more field testing and improvements before offering it to customers.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hoi TR ;-), Well agree, agree, agree. Fabric is like most RTT's I see that are in this price range. The cheap one have fabric that is worse. Awning? Like a extra one that can be connected to the tent? I don't think so. Yes, more testing will be done later. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@bikejayd]

You do know that you can remove the cover and zipper and switch it round so that it unzips from the front and flip the over the back.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

I do. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@goodboy2626]

Very nice Tent...considering this ! Due to small Space for Storage in the Basement and small weight ! By the way..which landcruiser are you driving?

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Goodboy, I drive a J95 from 1998. Enjoy the Outdoors and Say Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@raglandroad]

Thanks for the quick review. I have a Yakima SkyRise for 2 and it is too big for me, I will take a look at this tent.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Ha, that is a nice way to look at it. Do you use it solo? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@bluescan92]

Fantastic review! just subscribed =) I am considering this for my GMC Yukon XL, as it would leave plenty of space beside the tent for my kayak. Thanks for demonstrating the strengths and weaknesses =) Cheers from Norway.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi David, Thank you! Be aware that taking the cover from the tent with a kayak or bike next to it on a high car is not that easy. If you buy it: share your experiences with us please. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@thomas4961]

Can you open the tailgate with that one, doesent looks like that

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Thomas, I remember with the Peugeot Station it was possible to a certain degree. Cheers, Gijs

[@RogerCampillo]

Great review! I’ve watched other reviews of rtt at your channel and I love how you do it, how to test them and how you explain everything. Really good. I’d like to ask for you to test two tents 😊 - Autohome Overzone - Eezi-Awn T-Top Xklusive Thank you and happy new year!!

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Roger, Thanks for the kind words! I wish I could but I need review samples and not everybody is keen on my honesty on products and I found it hard to get hold on some rrt's in the past. I'll give it ago again! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Happy 2024!! Cheers, Gijs

[@RogerCampillo]

@@OutdoorguruGearReviews yeah, I guess it’s similiar to car industry…the journalists shall be careful with their analysis because if they find too many aspects to improve the auto maker could eventually left them over for further reviews of new models. What a shame. Maybe you can try throughout a RTT dealer, if you’re in the Nederland there is Daktent as huge specialized dealer for RTTs. And they work with pretty much every brand. These two models are on the top of the soft shell segment. I’m very interested on choosing one but I have no chance to test them. I’m also interested on the iKamper X-Cover 2.0. Hopefully you can test them and share a fantastic and super detailed review. Happy new year!!!🎊🎈🎆

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

I know them. Reviewed one of their tents. Since that review.... Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@Ferrymari97]

Is it enough for 2 people?

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

NO! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Happy 2024!! Cheers, Gijs

[@Volundtube]

Hi, Nice videos. Realy helpfull. I'm considering the Tepui when will you do part 2?

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Rikard, Thank you for the compliment. The Thule.... I don't know. It should haven been here 5 weeks ago but now there is total silence from Thule. I will keep you updated. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@jeremymcphail4832]

So late to your channel, but like your style. Speaking of style. Which gloves are you wearing at the end of the video?

Hi Jeremy, Better late than never🙃. These: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIGncn-Amsanrpo

[@dmcguire1977]

What recommendations do you have for a RTT that can be used in winter and also carry a snowboard rack of some sort? And also a surfboard rack during the rest of the year? Small is fine, basically for me and my dog

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi DMC, Sorry for the late reply. I missed it. Well, I don't really since I don't have personal experience with this. I know some RTT have this possibility but is depends on car height if this is practical. Sorry I can't help you here. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@ModestReaction]

So what you are saying is that it's perfect for California weather lol

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Yup! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@wolfeb99]

Terrific stuff. Tangential question. What kind of trousers are those?

[@otsdr]

Lundhags Authentic Mk. I, I think?

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Florin is right! Best trousers I have. They are vijf years old by know and still work great. The MK1 is not available anymore but the next gen is! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@RCRitterFPV]

Really would love to hear an update or if you think there is a better option. Looking for something thin and light to go on top the M3.. just me crashing in the woods for Dads night away... we are in Oregon... so not too worried about the Ice.. in the M3..

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi RC, I would love to give you un update but there is radio silence from Thule and I am not sure if I will ever get a production review tent. But I'll send them a email, again ;-). If you are looking for a tent on the Beemer... you have some other lightweight options though. Where are you from? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@r.l.browning1538]

how much does it weigh?

Could I fit this and a storage box on the rooftop of a smaller suv?

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Eddie, I don't know the size of the storage box.... Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@murillobarbosa3410]

Were you able to open the Peugeot tail door? I have a Subaru Outback and those 2 meters length is quite a lot for the Subaru. Thanks!

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Murillo, To some extent yes. I don't believe I could open it fully. I hope this helps. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@anndebaldo7381]

Will this work on a Subaru Forester that has a roof Thule luggage rack installed on the runners? Looks great!

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Ann, I would think so but.... wait till I did my full review in April because I know that Thule did not check all car possibilities yet. I love Foresters... had three before my Landcruiser. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@anndebaldo7381]

@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Yep! Foresters are the best! And will watch for your April review!

[@anndebaldo7381]

@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Thanks again!

[@BaileyGalvinScott]

Does this tent include a mattress that stays in the tent?

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Yes it does. I get the tent back in a couple of weeks for a more thorough review. Maybe wait before you buy.... Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@LILEE376]

So best to bring and use an extra double size air matress on the top of the built in matress. It is very unique that you can see the sky, but I think most of these car tents are overpriced by far.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Zoltan, Not every RTT is overprices but I think this one is since it is not THAT good. Thanks for commenting! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@mrandmr8621]

My husband and I are trying to find a roof top tent that we can use in the winter that isn't too big so our diesel heater can keep it nice and warm. Only problem is that we're both pretty tall so we don't fit in most of the smaller hard shell tents. We really like this tents size and the fabrics look really good on it. Do you have any recommendations on other RTTs that are good for winter camping?

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi M&M, Well, this is not the one. I need to know a bit more about the two of you before I can come with some suggestions. How tall are you in cm, weight, where are you from, type of car, temperatures in wintertime. If you want to keep this private just mail me at [e-mail]. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@joepawlicki2763]

Hello! I just got one of these and I'm struggling to figure out how to properly keep the rain fly attached when stowing the tent. I can get the cover on but it bulges out a good bit due to the rain fly poles. Do I leave poles in the anchor pockets and the straps snapped?

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Joe, I don't own this tent so it is hard for me to picture your problem and help. I am still waiting for a proper review example from Thule.... Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@Rufusthehound]

Well it looks very small I wouldn’t want one.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Howard, looks can be deceiving... I own a RTT that is only slightly wider but it has a lot of head clearance and that gives a very specious feeling and more practical use. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
