Having access from within your vehicle is a real game-changer! Roof-top tents of any type can range from horrible to wonderful, but it's that ladder climb into the outdoors that, to me, is their real weakness. Thanks for the look at your rig!

Thanks a lot Chris! Ever sense my wife saw your Ursa Minor all I've heard was buy us one and I will camp more often. Soooo you had a huge input in costing me $45,000 to buy an overbuilt JK just so we can have the Ursa Minor top. I looked for 2 years to find one on a used vehicle. All kidding aside " a happy wife makes for a happy life". Love your channel!

Chris, you totally sold me on the Ursa Minor top when I started watching your videos with my wife. I’d seen them in 2013 and was shocked at the price, but you have proved to me that it’s a quality product that’s so much more than a rooftop tent. We were able to take delivery in February and now I’m glad to say I have the JK fully (almost) kitted out with sleeping upstairs and down for our family adventures. Now if we can just get through this pandemic so we can see the redwoods this summer that would be great!

Great, honest review. It really is the ideal option for long-term exploration in the Jeep. Still, I'm a top off, doors off guy for a majority of the year. Living in AZ has its benefits. Just not sure my simple hoist and storage setup would be enough for the added weight of the Ursa Minor. I'll just have to settle for being jealous every time I watch your videos. Keep up the excellent work and stay safe. Consider yourself an adopted Arizonan.

Video request: A "Getting Started Guide". If you had a theoretical, finite "getting started" budget, how would you allocate it? What would you look for when buying a (used) wrangler; what customizations/add-ons give you the best bang for your buck, and would you prioritize first? What's useful for the long term adventurer vs the weekend explorer? Do you recommend getting a full size spare and lift kit before getting a winch? What would be your top priorities? Certainly a lot of this depends on a person's individual use case, but, given your experience, what would you do? Thanks a lot Chris, love the setup and your videos! Thanks for sharing your adventures, ideas and experiences.

@Sunyata Thanks for that insight---I agree, it's such a broad area and I guess that's what makes the Jeep so popular! I'm new to this and appreciate your insight, that approach makes a lot of sense: do the core jeep upgrades that are required to be safe for your use case and then use any leftover funds for camping gear. That said, I also think it would also be interesting to look at it from the reverse approach: not starting with the use case (which I think can be flexible), but with a budget (which may be not). One way to do that could be to make some assumptions about who the user is (e.g. BLM/crown land weekend warrior or summer holiday trips for 1-2 people, budget of $30k) and see what a specific setup would look like. One question I hope could be answered in an investigation like that would be if you have a stock rubicon + ursa minor, should you prioritize a suspension upgrade due to the extra weight? Or should you put that budget towards getting a winch and self-recovery? I agree that ultimately it just comes down to ones specific interests, geography and other factors, so it's a bit of a circular problem. But perhaps doing something general could be a helpful launch pad for someone looking to get started, and people can personalize any recommendations to suit their specific needs.

I was set on one of those huge roof tents but after watching Chris put this up and down so easily 100X I was 50% sold. After I realized that this is the only roof tent option that still allows my jeep to fit in the garage I was 110% sold. Yea, only 10"of added height and I think the lowest option I found with roof rack and tent combined was double that at least. With tires, lift, racks and all these can get pretty tall. You can also now just have the perimeter of the top Linex (or whatever the black coating is) and leave the top white, that is what I chose to do. Thanks Chris!

Great opening shot and critique. Ursa Minor could add two loops to the interior tent fabric, near the pop top hinges, that you hook a bungee cord to, to pull the fabric in as you close the top to prevent the fabric from catching on the hinges. Four Wheel Camper does this to their pop tops.

Also, I’m 6’3” and could easily stand up in your jeep, with head room to spare. The UM is on my bucket list as my existing rooftop tent (which does the job) usually results in a wrestling match during deployment and pack up. 😎 Be safe and be well!

For me this video is about 9 years too late. I bought a 2 door JK Jeep in 2011 with the vision of using it similarly the way you do. I added an ARB Simpson III RTT in 2016 and hit the road. Don't get me wrong, I luv my RTT, but after watching this video, I may have gone a different route, which would have required me to change from the 2 door JK to a 4 door JKU Jeep. Anyhow, as usual, a great walk around video Chris, I thoroughly enjoyed it with my Saturday morning coffee. The Ursa Minor J30 appears to be a great product, and I agree with some of your points about what you would have done differently , i.e. the sliding rear windows and the power outlets. I hope you are well, safe and getting thru this virus thing without going stir crazy. Looking forward to seeing you back on the road soon.

Hi Chris! Here comes an idea from sweden: Go to an IKEA furniture store and buy a memoryfoam matress and use the Ursa minor original matress as templates (it looks like there are zippers on the covers). With aprox. the same thickness a memoryfoam matress is way more comfortable than plain foam. Cheers!

Loved this video, and I've watched them all. Waiting on my new JL version of the Ursa Minor to be completed, then I'll drive to SD for the install. Then extensive road trip retirement travel for ? years. Much inspired by following Chris. With regard to cost, I penciled out everything from full time RV to truck camper to 100% hotel travel. It does come down to use case and intended travel style. We want the ability to travel the entire country and have a mix of urban exploration and remote wilderness. The Ursa Minor on top of a Rubicon will take us into any downtown hotel parking garage or across just about any BLM/Forest road destination. And it will do all that without the need to buy/own another vehicle and will still fit into the garage at home. When you add it all up, it actually pays for itself in other cost avoidance before even computing a subjective "collecting experience" value. We are late 50s. We can always buy an RV and travel in spacious luxury later when we're elderly. We don't want to waste out younger years and fitness on an "old people" set up. The Ursa Minor is worth every penny.

We love to sleep in the Ursa Minor.....the best thing is: go to a dark area, open up the windows and watch the milkyway . I recommend to order the J30 without the side windows....you well need the space for mounting jerry cans and other stuff, or construct a storage box on the inside. Thanks for all your helpful videos.

Great video and description of this unit Chris. Glad you posted this. I bet Ursa Minor gets a boost of orders due to your video. Might be worth while in contacting them for a referral code so viewers could take advantage and you might benefit as "Outside sales" consultant for them. Also you may want to contact them and see if they have contacted dealers for a factory option deal. That is what General Motors does. I use to work for Chevrolet and sold many special options for all vehicles which can be dealer installed and being that most people want to build a vehicle on the factory websites. There's a hugh incentive for you as well. FYI your camping video's are the only reason that I started looking at a jeep or going to Ursa Minors website. Tech tip for installing mosquito netting. You can adapt your unit with over-lay netting by simply making a pattern inside the rough mesh and install a removable velcro attachment system. I'd use clear marine type caulk and install that so you can remove the fine mesh when needed. If you never wanted to remove it, simply use painters tape on the outside & caulk the fine netting to the original net material. I suggest while you have all this down time, you check out this link www.domyown.com/permethrin-sfr-368-p-445.html You might want to treat your Jeep Tent while you have another place to stay. I'd spray inside & out with this. I use it, in home and out on a ranch. also soak your outdoor clothes in a 5 gallon bucket and air dry, will last 3-4 months, bugs die when they touch the surface. It's only take 2-3 hours for smell to dissipate.

Added a JKU to my garage. Have a Maggiolina RTT on my TJ, but really want to go the Ursa Minor route on the JK. I'm sure I eventually will. Do you have an auxiliary heater for getting through cold nights? If so, what are you using? Like all your vids and adventures. Be safe!

Hey Chris, thanks for this video I’ve always was curious about this tent setup. I wonder for extra padding if you can just get a egg crate padding from Wally World, if would give you maybe another 1” or 2” of padding and should squeeze down when closing up your tent each time. Stay safe

Ursa Minor can upgrade the foam, but I also use an inflatable air mattress for added comfort.

I would say it is a definite improvement over a RTT with very little loss in mpg, but the price is staggering. Still, from what Chris said it’s around $8.50/night. The more you use it the cheaper it gets. Can’t beat the quality of the unit, as attested by Chris’s accident. Very cool video and they should sponsor Chris for sure!!!

While it isn’t cheap, it’s well worth it. When I bought mine, I took into consideration how much a new factory hardtop (~$2500), a quality roof rack (~$1500), and a hard-shell rooftop tent ($3000+) would cost and this made it an easy decision.

@@ventura911 totally Agee. Some people just cannot see the value past the price tag. The ability to be self contained without having to exit the jeep, stand up inside and have room to cook Definitely well worth the price .

I do enjoy your videos and was playing them for much of the day yesterday, I will say I was somewhat disappointed in your trip to Michigans UP and I think you will need to return and fix that. I do have a question, I know your jeep is getting up there in miles, do you have a plan in place for your next vehicle and if so would you go for the same platform as you have now?
