For anyone who doesn't have a lot of experience with RTT's, I have had 4 different ones. Started with a soft shell by Treeline Outdoors, terrific quality and price and great for those who only plan to use it a few times a year. I've had a Roofnest, which is a more budget friendly hard shell with some great qualities. And I currently have the iKamper Skycamp Mini on my fiance's vehicle and a GFC on my rig. Those are both rather expensive, but amazing build quality, terrific profiles, and very unique designs. It really depends what your vehicle and usage is, but all RTT brands have come a long way, hard to go wrong with any brand nowadays.
Wait, this dude was like I didn’t like how rooftop tents are expensive so he went to China and made his own expensive rooftop tents to sell to us? Oh by the way, that falcon, their most popular tent costs $3,500 bucks!!! lol
Roof top tents are great, but they are best when put on top of a small utility trailer. Dont have to move it on and off the vehicle and once you set up camp you're vehicle is free to come and go.
@@maggieeberlin5221 a pop up camper doesn't go on moderately difficult off road trails so you can camp in the middle of a National Forest. Not the same at all.
It costs much less to sleep in your SUV and put the gear on top. And you dont have to worry about the fall when you get up in the middle of the night to take a pee!
@@619Pascal If you download the alibaba app and search clamshell roof top tent you see will see hundreds just like this for 500-1000$ they also have those "Fancy" batwing awnings that these companies are charging thousands for, at literally 200$ and under
Yes, awesome customer service! Logan is the best. I ordered my condo or XL last week, can’t wait till it arrives and I’m out of here! Thanks for this video.
Thats nice im looking for a good hard shell roof top tent for my suv within 2k-3k price range but i would really like something that i can mount led light bar on my roof. I would love to check one of these out in person. Are there any out here in Boston Massachusetts?
It's great to have a roof over our heads going camping. But how many people can afford a $3000 tent? But for that price, does it comes with a toilet, shower, maybe a small sink?
I've saw horror stories from this brand. One person said they had to spend time to track down the business owner to sue them in small claims to get their money back... Thule has a hard shell popup, go for that...
If you have a friend near you in the US maybe you could ship it there, drive down and attach it to your car and then go camping somewhere in the US while you're at it.
@@dustinhale4337 there are ones out there on a chinese website but after doing research it is far better to get them from the distributors here as they all have the same stuff but different specs on a few things.
The roof rails both VW and Thule are rated for only 75kg. Which is enough to carry the tent, when unoccupied. I know VW engineers a safety factor but I don't know whether that is 2x or 3x.
HEY TFL ..........You Guys Should Review Vehicle Accessories, like this one, bigger Accessories as well as smaller, simpler Ones that the average guy wouldn’t even know existed...
I was interested in these until I saw the quality up close. The shells are not the best quality (fiberglass), the fabric seems to be on the cheaper side, and the hardware doesn't look like grade 8 and will probably rust within a year or two. When it comes to things like this, just buy quality. He has a good start, but has a ways to go before it is a respected product.
actually, it is.. one company called MW sells hard shell one (Falcon) as Motop Roof Top Tent.. i bought 5 months ago from their Brisbane shop for $2,500 and so far so good.. it's $2,799 now tho
Everybody talks about the tent but what about the roof support weight rack also is expensive to buy??..A flat weight rated roof rack cost easy $700..you need to add that to the cost of the tent..your talking about thousands of dollars..Thousands of dollars equates to several nights in nice acomodating local near by hotels and resorts and still have money left..Yes you still might not have the same views but youd have nice ones also..donno..I'm just having a hard time to see the value of paying soo much for one
You lose your rack space, you have to climb down to go pee, your gas mileage decreases, the tent flaps around in the wind and you're out $3,000 or more. Not worth it in my view.
@@denverspin My main hangup is that my camping trips usually involve bringing kayaks or a canoe and I need my roof rack for those toys. I've been making it work just fine with a regular tent for many years.
wow can you say icamper mini boys and girls?Because that 1st tent looks like .Maybe that's just my imagination but that is what it looks like to me. But worth a look any way.
Cool but expensive....The only difference from regular tent is that you are off the ground, and the ground one cost $100 or less or more, but far away from $3K...
I feel like the main reason this video is getting a lot of bad comments is right from the get go to the logo is falling off of the tent So pretty immediately you’re telling your audience that it’s a cheap piece of crap when really it’s not, it just had a small design flaw in that particular tent, maybe you guys should edit the video and completely remove that part because it’s just making it look bad
@@macbook802 actually I am, been 4x4 camping with a roof tent for years. I'd use proper camping equipment rather than risk carbon monoxide poisoning and a leaking roof in the future.
All these roof top tents are a rip off. How much does it cost for a couple pieces of moulded plastic and a couple yards of canvas.. I'll buy one when you can sell it to me for under $600
The most frustrating part of this video is how many times he says "yeah" WHILE you are talking, without letting you finish. So frustrating I can't even

Wow. That was a great intro to another option to what’s out there in Roof Top Tents. Thanks!
Guy crys that they cost 5k back then... starts making them instead... sells them 5k Lol GTFO
😂
Not making lol just ordering from china with a brand name
the design looks oddly similar to iKamper.
Haha
I heard him say $2200 on the pop up. Pay attention
It looks like he just went to the chinese manufacturer for iKamper and said "give me that with my own logo on it."
That's literally what people do, I've looked them up on Alibaba and part of your order is putting "your brand" on them.
Chris Coffel got a link?
Lots of guys have copied....it is amazing how many popped up in last 12 months with same general design.
That how it works $$$

Guy is a hypocrite. Complaints that other sellers are expensive and then goes and does the same.
Ray Pabs exactly!
Yeah no kidding most of the other higher end brands are right around this price point nowadays anyways. 2k id be all for it though.
Yeah, agreed. I won’t be buying this anymore.
His are similar prices as all the other ones??? maybe if he was popping them off for $509 I would forgive him
0:23 the letters pelling off, good thing these roof tent isn't expensive, wait...
Just need a sharpie, problem solved!
tuffstuff makes a WAY better version at half price...review of it is on my channel
Chinese
Yeah seriously, made in china but still several thousand dollars. Ok then.
Go with Eezi Awn
Now those have possibilities! What a great weekender unit too!

Roof nest is out of their minds for their prices.
This tent is literally the same exact hard top tent you can find on alibaba for 500$ same exact thing minus the logo.
provide me a link please. i search one ^^
Pascal Klinker yes, I would love that link aswell haha
I would probably pay that. $3,000? No way.

Good heads up. And I'd pay extra for logo-delete! this tent is a bill-board for that company! no thanks. (unless they're paying me)
Yes, awesome customer service! Logan is the best. I ordered my condo or XL last week, can’t wait till it arrives and I’m out of here! Thanks for this video.
This great! I was never into camping. This is amazing!
Can this RoofNest share the roof (the roof racks) with an awning? Thanks!
Dude sick! I need this for camping.
Thats nice im looking for a good hard shell roof top tent for my suv within 2k-3k price range but i would really like something that i can mount led light bar on my roof. I would love to check one of these out in person. Are there any out here in Boston Massachusetts?
what kind of cross bar will you use for a toyota 4runner trail ?
Love your story . Great job!!
$3000 ain’t cheap neither lol
OK
And there Chinese
It's great to have a roof over our heads going camping. But how many people can afford a $3000 tent? But for that price, does it comes with a toilet, shower, maybe a small sink?
Saw rust on the rivets and the nest was peeling off the fabric. That's a shame because I was looking into this for my tent purchase.
What do you expect? It's generic Chinese crap sold at a premium
I've saw horror stories from this brand. One person said they had to spend time to track down the business owner to sue them in small claims to get their money back... Thule has a hard shell popup, go for that...
Any chance of getting one of these in Canada without it costing an arm, leg, moose steak and bottle of maple syrup?
That’s definitely the most Canadian way to describe it for sure 😂
If you have a friend near you in the US maybe you could ship it there, drive down and attach it to your car and then go camping somewhere in the US while you're at it.
😂
Sorry, we don't ship to Canada anymore. But, if you visit our Instagram and follow, we will outline everything
I’m from Canada aswell and having the same problem.
I’ll just sleep in the back with the seats folded down for now 😂
Tim…I’m getting one of these…awesome!
What is the weight capacity of these tents
What kind of weight will these hold. I am 6'5 and about 300lbs. Am I going to crush my roof??? :)
Holy yep and yeah..
Can I mount it to the bed of the truck instead of the roof I wonder
Nice product
I need a version of this on wheels for my bicycle
😂😂
@Chris Kibodeaux 😆
you can undertake to buy his prototype and give it a test run😀
Waiting to see you with Tim showing the BikeNest!
Now imagine these hardtop tents - BUT(!) with built in solar panels - how cool would that be?!!
Looks great. What a shame you couldn’t support your fellow Americans and have it built in the US.
so cool!!
The logo on the tent at :23 is peeling, that says a lot.
"Yeah"
That’s awesome! I want it
Do you have a store where I can check them out in California?
tuffstuff is in cali and has the same clam shell, half the price
Should be able to find it on wish soon enough since he went with chinese manufacturing.
@@dustinhale4337 there are ones out there on a chinese website but after doing research it is far better to get them from the distributors here as they all have the same stuff but different specs on a few things.

Nice
I’m betting the cross country trip will have one of these.
Does this fit a mk6 gti? I can’t find any roof top tents
Dude it fits anything with a crossbar
I wonder what hunting from one of these would be like. Like would it be illegal?
Great! What’s the maximum load for the VW roof rails?
The roof rails both VW and Thule are rated for only 75kg. Which is enough to carry the tent, when unoccupied. I know VW engineers a safety factor but I don't know whether that is 2x or 3x.
Its 75kgs…. But you know, better keep quiet about that, gotta sell those tents!
Love!!!!
Roof tent is cool..id look in Roof Nest if i ever tho 💪💓👍
Dig the “Friend Of The Pod” tee!
Damn TFL YOU over doing it on the ads

Can we see Nathan and Andre overland in these? Real world test
There are many youtubers out there using all varieties of RTTs
think i would buy a lil trailer for that much!!
yeah,nup
Just buy an Alu Cab and don’t look back. Ready in less than 30 seconds.
RoofNest starts around $3K. Will stick to Thule Tepui brand.
Can 4 people fit and play poker without the roof collapsing?
Need one, that can fit family of 5..not too much of those :(
free spirit recreation makes on that is as big as a CA king bed
Even if someone made one I wouldn't recomend putting that much weight on your roof. Bad things would happen.
Love the fact you can buy these from Thule for wayyyyy less but not Aliexpress quality lol
Ya ya ya ya
Yeah...yeah...yeahhh...yea...yeahh..
My thing is what is so very expensive not pay 2004 that it's worse maybe $1,000 maybe even cheaper but not no 2000 hell no

for twice the price and same quality :D
