I've never heard of them, but there website is nice. I was sold on the idea of a rooftop tent set-up when someone posted a pic of a red KJ (I think it was skrracing's jeep) with one awhile ago.

You might give Mario at Adventure Trailers a call. He has researched all kinds of different tents and knows a lot about them. He is also a supporting sponsor of this site and the Moab trip amongst other lost KJ WEST events.

Thanks for the info. just thought it would be a great alternitave to looking for a clear, flat spot to pitch an ordinary tent. Still not sure about the $. Lot to spend for a tent!

I agree with you. Man once you see one in action you gotta love the idea. It sucked trying to set up a tent in the wind and watching Clint roll up in his Jeep, park it, jump out, pop a couple latches, pull a handle and Bada bing! TENT! He would be set up and ready to climb in in literally about two minutes from the time he jumped out of his Jeep. Here I am still trying to keep my dang tent from flying away and wrestling with the dang thing. :lol:

If it was just me camping, I would have one right away but when my family goes on a trip we need a larger tent and the roof rack for hauling all of our crap. Ugh. Oh well.

These are awesome but I two have a family and I feel ya when you talkabout needing a bigger tent AND the roof rack for hauling all other stuff. Gotta love daughters and all the stuff the bring! :lol:

When I was a kid it was my pocket knife and a change of clothes. The rest was about finding my own stuff to do out in the woods. Remember, IMAGINATION!! Now it's been replaced with all the 'pocket technology'.
