I'm in the search for a rooftop tent and I have looked at so many vids and talking to others that have them, I am leani8ng to this model, The camping and caravan show is heading to Brizzy, YAY!!! so ill get to check all of them out in 1 place.. I like your preview, I wonder if they have done anything about the zipped issue for the back window where you used zip ties.. Anyway thanks again cheers

Great review Adam. We love our Yowie but I’ve always had issues with condensation around the metal lip on the inside of the lid and inside the awning outside the door. I just leave a towel inside and it only takes a minute to wipe dry. The LST is fantastic but I wonder if that is causing the issue with the LST material breathing. Good to know you have not had this issue.
